Q: Can you provide 8 growth/total return names to initiate a position an add to overtime in the TFSA for a long term investor.

Feel free to rank using your assessment/analysis of a balance of performance/recovery, prospects, total return, etc. Sector diversification is not necessary. Mid to large caps (small caps only with high conviction).

$CAD/USD names (please include your favourite growth CDRs as well).

Q: I previously sent this question (I thought) but I may have been timed out.

I have been involved in a few spinoffs over the past few years (Constellation, BAM x 2) with some to come (Danaher, Constellation). Generally, spin-offs are seen as profitable events but I am not sure of the best way to manage the outcome.

My problem is that the spinoff usually leaves me with a small number of shares of the new company. Given that these new enterprises usually do very well (I think this is a valid generalization) I have been reluctant to sell them. I see my options as: Buy more prior to the spin off as this provides for the greatest returns and leave me with 2 reasonable sized holdings; buy more of the new company after the split to bring it to a reasonable level in my portfolio; sell the shares despite the cost and re-invest in the original company to bring that value back to its original amount; or just leave as is.

in your experience, is one option better than the other in the long term? The sticking point for me is that I expect both companies to outperform due to the split but that may be a poor assumption.

Appreciate your insight.
