Q: Hello,

I'm looking at initiating a position in either KXS or PHO for an aggressive growth pick within my TFSA. I like the larger size and scope of KXS but am intrigued by the increasing volume of PHO which seems to be missing from the KXS chart. I'm also less familiar with PHO (no 5i Report) - could you quickly highlight their customer base, and which company/industry/product is responsible for their current stock profile?

Thanks,

Cam.

Q: Please comment of the shareholder rights plan. It seems to be a proposal to give the board more time to extract more value in the event of an unsolicited take-over offer. The stock has been strong recently but I suppose there has been no unsolicited offer. If the board had received an unsolicited "feeler" would they have been obligated to release it to the public or only if there had been a firm offer?

By the way I agree with the other members in supporting all the work you do.

Jim

Q: You have often stated that 20 equity holdings is about perfect and over that there is no real benefit to “over-diversification” and it actually moves a portfolio closer to just replicating an index. I like to follow your BE portfolio, but when you add on my US holdings, ETFs for international diversification, emerging markets, bonds, preferreds etc my portfolio (7 figures) is left with 58 different individual holdings /ETFs. I would like to cut it down a bit. My question is this: Your BE portfolio started with 20 names and has now grown to 25. Are there any plans to reduce the number of holdings back down to 20 in the near future?

Q: General comment and observation. Ryan Modesto named this company(kwh.un)as a pick while a guest on BNN and it is in your income portfolio etc.. Yet
on the 19th in answer to Christopher you suggest that it is for high risk
investors and only a small position. I have noticed this type contradictory answers before which have left me scratching my head. As the question and answers make up the largest portion of the site and no doubt there are several people with different views giving answers, I feel that having paid good money for this service greater quality control is warranted.
Thank you. Dave. No need to publish it you don't want to. Just wanted to make a point.

Q: In your reply to Bill on April 17th, you commented you would have no problem with a 1% position of RRX. What about if "doubling down", in my case, means taking it to 4% of the portfolio?

With the stock weakness, my position has fallen to 2.3% of my portfolio and so was wondering if this would be an opportunity to raise it back to its original 4%. (Total sector exposure is 11%, at current prices, which includes TOG and SPE). ... Or just wait this one out?

Q: Hi There,

I want to begin deploying funds towards the balanced portfolio. Can you please tell me which 5 names you would add today, based on the current price of the individual stocks. I know it's not a great strategy to try and time the market, but I plan on adding 5 at a time over the next couple months, and figure there may be 5 that I'm better off starting with.

Thanks!
