Q: Hello there,

Recently I had asked about your top 2 favourite growth ideas outside of your Balanced Equity Portfolio/Shopify and GUD and GSY were suggested along with OTEX (however you had mentioned this might give too much weighting towards technology). I presume GSY would still be one of your favourite ideas - but what would replace GUD as your second favourite idea, now that GUD is part of the BE Portfolio (which I have purchased along with CLS on Friday). Thanks so much!

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Great article in Saturday's Financial Post, Peter!

As a replacement for DH in a TFSA, and disregarding sector, which one of the above three stocks would you buy today? I'm thinking that the recent resignation of PHO's CEO and the subsequent 6.71% decline in the share price presents a buying opportunity, but as always, I value your advice and recommendations. (We already own two of the stocks in your article - GSY and ZCL. Many thanks for that!)

Q: Hello,

Curious about inside ownership with these two companies. Both have been on a tear for a while, and wondering at what point would a larger company look at buying these up for their growth potential. Would you believe they are takeover candidates or does some characteristic of each make that unlikely?

Regards,

Robert

Q: With the recent changes to the balanced equity portfolio is it now tech heavy or are you considering CLS Consumer Cyclical (Discretionary) to replace CGX because it is a hardware based business and not software?

Thank you.

Q: Good morning 5i Team,

I'm interested to buy a position in CCL B. Please advise if the stock will continue to grow in the next few years. Is it better to buy before the split or after the split in May this year? Is it better to buy the A or B shares? I note the PE is high! What is your opinion on management, ,divident growth, momentum and valuation?

Thank you!
Rossana.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
In your latest newsletter you mentioned to trim SIS back down to 5%. I have a very small position and hesitated on adding to it because it kept moving up and I thought I had missed my opportunity. I'm now up 150% which represents 2.7% of my portfolio (thanks for that and I'm now kicking myself for not taking a full position).
Is it too late to top it up to 5% now?

Thanks for this great service.
Rob

Q: Hi, I am new to the 5i community and also investing, I've been buying stocks for over a year now but am unsure of what exactly I am doing asides from following previous trends. I would like to follow one of your portfolios but am curious as to how I keep it balanced while adding cash bi-weekly and if trying to keep up with your positions recommended in the portfolio. Without paying tons on commission. Any tips?

Thanks
