Q: Hello,

I was wondering for a TFSA (40K) for maximum growth what stocks would you propose. I don't envision needing the funds in the next few years (I have the model portfolio in a non taxable account).

I know that you specialize in Canadian equities, but if you would have to select a few US growth stocks (30k taxable account) what would you select.

Thank you so much.

Q: Regarding Concordia Healthcare (CXR): do you suspect there could be headwinds against companies that employ "inversion" as a means of growing their earnings per share, as this strategy may appear "gimmicky".

If public sentiment turns against inversion stories, do think companies like Concordia could be affected?

Lastly, could you provide us with CXR's earnings per share estimates for this quarter?

Thanks again.

John

Q: Hi,
Could you please tell me why the more than average sell off of SVC Sand vine, CS Capstone, and BB Blackberry? SVC was a resent recommendation twice on BNN. BB was highly mentioned on Seeking Alpha. I am thinking of selling at a loss one or more of them and buying PTX or DEE, both in the oil and gas sector (your opinion).
Thank you,
Dennis

Q: Good morning,

Could you please comment on releases from parkland fuel and stella jones, also, if as noted responses are delayed today, could you add crescent point that reports this afternoon as well. The former two seem to have marginal results but would appreciate your take.

Thanks,

Q: Peter and Crew:

Regarding the Brookfield Group: Which is preferable to hold, the parent company BAM.A or the individual subsidiaries eg BEP.un. They seem to provide a larger dividend for income, but wondered how they compared for growth. Also was wondering about tax implications in a non registered account.Are "units" treated differently than common shares with respect to dividend income.

Thanks
Phil

Q: I hold ALA, PPL, IPL, KEY, VET, PEY.

ALA I view more as a utility.
PPL, IPL, and KEY I see as oil services.
VET I see as more oil than gas and PEY I see as more gas than oil.

They're all in the energy sector though and combined they are 30% of my portfolio.

I would like to add an oil growth stock. Between SGY, DEE and RE, which one would you choose and do you think my energy sector weighting is too high?
