Q: Hello, there - I currently own all the names in the Balanced Equity portfolio and a full position in Shopify. I will be adding a little bit of new money into my portfolio this month and am looking to either purchase another full position or 2 half positions. What would be your first and second top ideas with a growth tilt (excluding names from the BE portfolio and Shopify). Thanks!

Q: Why do the shares since the BUY announcement only change between $3.28 & 3.29 & generally on a daily volume of +/- 1,000,000 shares. It just seems to me that most shareholders would want 3.25 or close thereto unless you owned only 1-2000 shares. For myself & friends, we own in the range of 25 - 40,000 shares each. We would sell for a 1 or 2 cent drop just to move capital but not .08 cents. Time is money!

Q: I purchased a half position of OTEX in my TFSA with the intention of holding for the long term. I found out afterward that it pays dividends in US dollars. I don't have a US account and the present price is roughly around what I paid for it. I'm wondering if I should sell and buy a full position in my RRSP account. The cost for 3 transactions would be approx. 30$. Do you think this is a reasonable plan, or should I just stay in the TFSA? Thanks, Paul

Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) has completed the acquisition of Spectra Energy Corp. (NYSE:SE).

Do you think that the increased weight for ENB shares in the S&P indices will result a buying pressure on the stock price, on Feb 27&28 ? Should it be material ? What are your views on ENB now, once Spectra merger has closed ? Thanks

Q: Just joined and will be slowly adopting your balanced equity model portfolio.

I am heavily overweight in financial ( 25%) and energy ( 19%) and have very low exposure to tech ( 2%). Which 1 or 2 of the tech stocks currently in your portfolio/research would be best to add at this point in time. I will probably drop each by about 5% to get 10% into the tech stocks you suggest as a first move.
