Q: Hi 5i: I am in the process of aligning my equity portfolio more closely with the 5i Balanced Equity portfolio. Re the tech sector, I have KXS and SYZ as does 5i. However, instead of CSU and ENGH I have GIB.A and DSG. Would you recommend that I sell the latter two and pick up CSU and ENGH, or is there some intermediate step that you would recommend? Both GIB and DSG have done well for me so far. Thanks for your always valuable advice.

Q: There are two companies in your model portfolio ( SJ and KXS) that are being taken out behind the wood shed and being thrashed severely. Can you offer any reasons for this? Are there any possible concerns regarding the companies that we should be aware of and should we continue to hold the shares. Stella Jones is of particular concern with its downward spiral and down around 5% this morning.
Q: I am having trouble looking at the balance sheet and figuring it out. On the face of it does not look strong in my opinion. What am I missing. Thanks:)
Q: Good day to Pete and Ryan,
A few questions:
1. Does SIS SYZ and ET offer dividend reinvestment plans? I can't seem to find anything on this, so I am assuming not. However, could you please confirm on this?
2. If you had a 10-20 year timeframe, what would be your top pick of these three for a buy and hold strategy?
3. Sylogist vs. Evertz - which one do you prefer?
Thanks guys!
Aaron

Q: I am trying to do some tax loss selling. I am down 13 percent-ish on both ECN and EFN. Do you think these companies are worth holding for long term? How much free cash flow they generate? If interest rate goes up will they be affected? What kind of ROE they have, are they better than canadian banks? Do you think is it better to hold canadian banks instead?

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I don't like sitting on cash and was wondering if we can expect an addition to your growth portfolio this month to utilize the cash you (and I) have from dropping BOS?
Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi, Can you please provide the short position in Shopify on US and CDN exchanges and if there has been a change recently. It was mentioned on another board that there seems to be a large increase in "puts" buying, last week. Thanks
Q: with recent preferred share activity is there a reasonable possibility ECN will enter into an acqusition before year end . Any way they would issue dilutive equity to do so?
Q: Peter, I am having my RRSP transferred to a self directed account and will be acquiring all the stocks in your Balanced Portfolio. Having read your recent Q&A on this topic, I will start with 23 positions at 4% each. That leaves me with 8% cash. I prefer to be fully invested and think it makes sense to add 4% GUD for the Health sector and I am thinking of SH, TNC or perhaps a S&P 500 ETF for the remainder. I have a long time frame.
Thank you, Stephen

Q: Hello, this is to clarify an answer to a question asked by Elise on Evertz Technologies. You mention a special dividend of $1.10 per share declared by the company. Since I hold 500 shares of ET, does this mean I will receive a special dividend of $550 in December? Will that be on top of the regular quarterly dividend? Regards, Gervais

Spin Master Corp. Subordinate Voting Shares (TOY $20.44)
Q: Hi, we have Shopify and Spin Master in most accounts in the family.
Shopify has been quite volatile, in line with FANG and other technology stocks, but its swings are much higher than its peers. Recently it traded as low as $50.84 ( after a week of Trump win)and within a week as high as $60.50. Is it worth adding at current level $52?
Spin Master had an incredible run to $39.50. With recent pullback, is it prudent to add at $34-$35 level?
Thank you.

Q: Can you please comment on today's earnings report?
Q: Is there any explanation as to their recent 10% drop in share prices. Last quarter was good, something new come up? Is this a buying opportunity to increase my shares in a diversified portfolio?
Q: I've read that BCE is overvalued and set for a decline by Motley Fool (a couple of times now). Do you think there is anything to this, or would you considered it a buy with the recent pullback?
Thanks,

I currently hold about 500 shares of BNS which is currently at all time highs and I was thinking of selling at this time and putting the proceeds
