Q: Hello team,

My wife's TFSA currently holds full positions in WSP, BYD.UN, DH, WCP and 1/2 position in BDI. With new money, we are thinking of adding four half positions from SYZ, CXI, BOS, GUD, EFN or XTC. This is for long term hold and we are OK with volatility. Which four would you pick out of the list or would you suggest other names instead for better diversification? We are looking for smaller cap names with better growth potentials.

As always, thanks for your guidance.

BK

Q: Re Dennis question on CXR
Scotia itrade actually has CXR as a sector outperform with a target of $75 (see company Edge report). Dennis may be looking at something called Research Team report which is a separate service that Scotia includes on their site. They do have it as a sell but it is only 4 analysts, and their accuracy was poor in 2015 as note on the very bottom of the report. It is not the Scotiabank opinion.
I bought some CXR based on the 5 i - Ryan M blog at under forty and sold at $50 ( thanks Ryan!) Will try it again if the price dips below $40 again.
food for thought, Dennis

Q: In your Balanced Portfolio you have a holding in Goldcorp because you want to have a stake in gold for strategic reasons. Recently, in answering questions on investing in gold stocks, you have consistently referred to AEM as a better investment than G. Why are you not swapping G for AEM in your balanced Portfolio?

Q: I regards to your comments on aw strategy to use only beef raised with out steroids hormone is true however as a retired beef producer I don't believe you can buy beef to day, with steroids and hormone enhancement . I believe that left the industry years ago and the growth enhancement been replaced with genetics .there are calves being born today that have a 4 plus pound a day rate of gain far exeding any artificial enhancement .
I would invest in aw for the financials but to get wrapped up in adds I wonder if that is the right course

Q: When does the deal close buying CUS? Will they be able to get and cost saving synergies with this acquisition? When I look at my data supplied by CIBC this company looks like a stay away from stock; however, when I read your analysis from Dec. 11 it looks like it is o.k. to buy -I was thinking for my TFSA?

Q: Peter & Team, I have a handful of market darlings that all declined roughly 5 times worse than market today: SJ, CCL.b, BYD.un, CSU, CIG, FSV. Any idea why these would perform so badly today and is it telling us something? I note a couple of BNN market call experts sell when stocks break down usually applying stop losses. Given I have substantial taxable gains on these holdings, would you recommend paring back or selling (and buying back at lower prices as the Market Call people are attempting to do)? I note some of these are 5i top picks for when the current rout is over.

Q: Hello,
I am trying to follow your balanced equity portfolio. I have bought the securities that you have rated A, A-, and B+. As I go to B-, I'm wondering why they are included, when you have higher-rated stocks in your overall list. I would guess that they do not fit under the "balanced" criteria, but perhaps when put together (e.g.: an income stock and a growth stock) they would make a balanced combination? I could do this myself, but I like how following your portfolio takes the effort out of sector diversification.

thanks,
Henry
