Q: What 5 stocks (Can and US) now in the bargain bin seem most likely to turn out to be gems in 2 or 3 years time? Much of the market seems very expensive at an uncertain time.

Q: DY was a very recent pick on BNN. I purchased at $90. Shortly after it dropped down to the low $80's. I woke up on the 25th and it was in the low $70's. My online account info showed that there was an earnings report at approx. that time.
TRIP was a CNBC pick of about 3 months ago. I purchased at $60 and a short time later it started to lose altitude - it is now a $40 stock. In both cases professionals recommended these picks. Is it the luck of the draw or should these professionals had picked up on problems shortly after being recommended? Thanks so much. In hindsight - should have checked with 5i prior to purchase.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff

Several months ago I bought PINS when you had it as a BNN top pick - after initial gains like many tech related companies it has declined

Taxes are not an issue it’s in a registered account , neither are $9.99 fees

Would you suggest a switch to either NFLX or ROKU within communication sector or stay the course

Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: What an interesting approach to my enquiry. I'm currently in the midst of a 30 day free trial and thus far I have posed two questions to your team. The first was answered professionally. The second was met with disdain and an indication that I am "out of credits" and should renew my membership. Fascinating. If anyone of any importance sees this and would like to take action to perhaps answer my second question, which was about GSBD:US, that would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: I have owned blackstone for years and done well with it. Do you think I should take advantage of the run up in the Share price recently and sell it or is the company still fairly valued and poised for continuing its run? My position size is not unreasonably high so not to worry about portfolio weight. Thanks

Q: Hi ,
I hear about Bitcoin, Dogecoin and all sorts of other coins and names. The complication of understanding them kept me on the sidelines, not to mention the wild daily fluctuations. I was wondering if an easier way to get some exposure to Bitcoin, directly or indirectly, would be to buy some shares in Square?
Your thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks

Q: Friday messy fun question, please take it lightly. I would like to start reducing the oil companies I bought in April last year. They've done incredibly well, but now I would like to increase my tech growth stocks by opening 1 or 2 new positions. I currently own GOOG, DND, U, CRWD, RDFN, ROKU, VEEV, PINS, and SQ. They have done well under your recommendations even with the recent pullbacks. As no one can time the markets, I am not willing to wait for a surprise interest hike as it is part of a locked-in RSP. It would be a 10+ hold. 1) Without considering size, could you please rank your favourite top 5 companies addressed in this question as of today in terms of strong balance sheet & steady growth potential over time (even in an interest hike environment). 2) Could you please give a brief explanation for the #1 pick only. Thank you very much as always!

Q: Hi, having just sold my TD Balanced Index Fund, I am looking for a suggestion of a few ETFs to cover my under-weightings in the Consumer Cyclicals &/or Consumer Defensive industries, preferably in the US or International Regions as i am overweight in Canadian region. This is for an RRSP with 10+ years holding.

Thanks for this great service!
