Q: hello 5i:
have read a lot recently about GUD and J Goodman. Mr. Goodman seems to be the main resource; how dependant is the company on him, and what would management look like without him. Could they survive?

Q: Can I get your updated views on Lumenpulse? Previous comments seem to suggest you are warming up to it, but the stock hasn't done much in the past 6 months. What would be a catalyst to provide some positive stock momentum?

Thanks!

Q: I am sorry to hear that you've decided to exclude dividends as an item separate from returns. I think yield and returns are quite different. I'm in retirement and by nature have little confidence in future growth,surmised from historical information and predictions. Simplistically, my general prejudice is to filter out anything which doesn't distribute half its profits.

Q: Hello Peter, thanks to the extra $4500 in TFSA room and some additional uninvested cash, I'd like to now add two stocks from your Growth portfolio to my TFSA (where, of course, one prefers one's largest gains to occur). I already have full positions in AVO, DHX, XTC and GUD. Can you please recommend two choices based on current prices. (I know you have favoured CDV and CXI very recently, but given the large gains I've missed in the last month, I worry about pulling the trigger on those.) Also, kindly suggest a good current choice from your balanced portfolio for my non-registered account. (I already own AW, ESL, FCR, HCG, MDA, BIN, SJ, and WPK amongst others.) I was considering TELUS? Thanks in advance! James

Q: Hello "Team Peter", I have cash to deploy and would like to add to my existing holdings in the Balanced and Income portfolios. Can you give me your top 5 stocks to add to at this time? I am a long term holder and weighting is not an issue as all holding are below 5%. Should I do it now or gradually over the summer?
Many thanks!

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
My RRIF portfolio consists of 83% equity and 17% cash. When I calculate my equity returns, I do not consider the cash position; do you consider the 5% cash position (as long as it is not redeployed) in the original model portfolio in calculating the returns?
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: In an answer to Clint on April 30, regarding good management teams, you provided PEO as a possibility. I'm guessing you meant PEY (Peyto Corporation) rather than PEO (People Corporation)? Is that correct? ... or are you actually endorsing the management team of the latter?

Q: Hi Peter,

I've had success buying stocks of companies that have good management teams. What companies in your growth portfolio would you consider as having very good to excellent management teams.

Thanks
