Q: Hello: I wonder if you could tell me the number of shares held for each of the securities in the Balanced Equity Model Portfolio as of today. I would like to set up my own version of the BEP in Yahoo, and without number of shares, I won't be able to monitor anything. I like to compare my portfolio with the BEP so that, for example, if my portfolio takes a sudden dip but the BEP also does, it gives me a little bit of relief. Not exactly "schadenfreude," but I don't worry too much because I feel I'm in good company. Take as many question credits as is appropriate. Thank you

Q: I would like to complete my balanced portfolio. To do so I need to buy AEM, AIF, ATD.B, BYD.UN, CCL.B, CLS,CSU,MX,PKI,SYZ, WCP,WSP
Are there any concerns here or should I just pull the trigger and buy them?
Should I buy in equal weights or match the percentage weights in the portfolio?
Are there any here I should take a pause on and wait?
Thanks for your help!

Q: I am planning to get out of a full position in ZCL. I have partial positions in the other 4 above, thinking of topping up on 2 or 3 of them. Does this make sense and what would be your preference?? Thanks Jim

Q: Hi
I have a 7% position in CSU. Given its size now and past run up, would you suggest switching to smaller cap companies like Open Text or Kinaxis or continue to hang on?
I feel like there would be more growth opportunity in these two smaller companies.
Or would you have any other suggestions other than these three in the same space.
Thanks
Jeff

Q: Hi there, both Peter and Ryan selected AVO as a top pick recently on BNN. Would this be a good indicator of a strong bullishness towards the stock? Also, I believe this name is currently not held in any of the portfolios. If it were to be added - would it fit into the growth, balanced or both? Lastly, would you be comfortable with a full position in the name? Thanks for your great service!
