Q: PBH has consistently been one of your top 3 growth stock recommendations lately. Based on your recommendation, I am keen to initiate a position. However, every time I look at the stock chart it seems like it may be over-valued. When PBH Revenue and gross profit increase 25% year over year, but the stock price increase 55%, doesn't this indicate that PBH is over-valued? If PBH P/E is currently 36, isn't this trading at a premium to it's average P/E and there's more downside risk that it will return to trading fair value?
How do you calculate PBH as being one of the best valued stocks today?

Q: My favorite stocks are those that go up year after year without a hitch, and have a decent dividend. You appear to favour the same kind, as above. But you have no utilities in your balanced portolio. Would you please contrast the growth rates, dividend growth, stability and safety of the above with regard to why a utility like Algonquin would not fit in nicely?

Q: My partner has $25k to invest in a new TFSA. Was thinking that 5 stocks of $5k each might be a good initial starting point. Do you agree? And could you make suggestions of stocks to add based on a moderately to aggressive approach. Her other investments inside a RRSP are primarily mutual funds or ETF based. Thanks!

Q: Another 2 headlines in the Vancouver Sun today.1)B.C.Casinos knowingly accepted banned cash:confidential report.In 2015 River Rock Casino accepted $5.37m(79%)of $6.7m from illegitimate lenders.2)"Nearly all" gamblers with $20s left with other bills(reining)."River Rock does have criteria in place to help prevent refining for the purposes of money laundering,but---the notion that nearly all gamblers were paid out with $100 bills,regardless of the denomination that they brought in with,in part suggests that the controls in place to prevent a patron from refining may not be functioning as intended."These reflect poorly on River Rock & may result in adverse impact.Buy,sell or hold.Thanks

Q: My first tender offer! TRC Capital Corporation wishes to purchase 3,000,000 shares of OTEX at a share price of $38.50 which represents a discount of slightly less than 5% over the current price. My preliminary research suggests TRC is known to have made a number of these discounted offers. You comment please. Thanks!

Q: 5i Team,

I notice that you have IWO tagged as a financial stock in the growth portfolio, however, when I check the sector break down for it (here: https://www.ishares.com/us/products/239709/ishares-russell-2000-growth-etf), financials are only stated as 6%. The 4 major sectors (Info tech, Health Care, Industrials & Consumer Discretionary) make up 80% of the ETF.

Any specific reason for that classification in the growth portfolio? Should I be tagging IWO as a financial in my portfolio? Thanks.

Q: I'm guessing 5i has a substantial number of clients now and I am wondering if that is a factor in issuing a sell recommendation on a stock when a major event happens? For example, would Peter have " done nothing " as a portfolio manager when SHOP was attacked as was instructed to 5i member's? In no way is the a question on integrity or a lack of respect, I'm a 5i member for life!
