Q: We are looking to create a 'growth' portfolio using our TFSA accounts. This portfolio will represent a small portion of our overall investments. The portfolio will hold ~10 Canadian and ~10 US stocks. All purchases in the portfolio will be made with the intent to be long-term holds (10+ years).

Using the 5i research reports, model portfolios and Q&A section, we've selected the listed Canadian stocks. Please rank these stocks and suggest any tweaks, additions or subtractions, you might make. As well, please suggest a companion list of US stocks. Thanks!

Q: My question is about NVIDIA and the ARM Acquisition. How important do you feel the ARM deal is for NVIDIAS future and growth? If a headline came out that said the acquisition has been rejected, how do you feel the market would react short and long term? Based on the current information available, what do you think the likelihood the deal is accepted?

Q: Hi 5i team. An article in the Economist this week suggests Apple faces a "growth conundrum" because of its large size and political and economic risks in China. What do you think of these concerns from an investor's point of view? Should we expect less from AAPL than it has delivered over the last decade?
Many thanks.

Q: We have done very well with Apple in an RRSP account. So much so that it has grown to represent 15% of the portfolio. While I do believe Appl can still grow in value I think it would be prudent to sell some for diversification purposes. Can you suggest a good US company to buy? We also hold Disney in this account.

Q: Hello 5i friends - Thought this might be a good holding for using Canadian dollars to invest in semi's valued in US dollars as a portfolio currency diversifier. The subscription is small at this time but this is a new ETF. First, do you like the holdings and their weightings, would you expect this ETF to attract investment over the next year or so in order to satisfy your standards for a sufficient level of investment, do you have any comment regarding the MER and finally other than the low current investment level do you have any cautions to offer. Many thanks for your input. Ken

Q: Endo Pharma tanked on Friday (down one-third) after announcing the hiring of a Restructuring Advisor. Do you think they will survive?
Of course, this revives the "will Knight ger Paladin" question.
I have always thought Endo would never sell to Knight because they would be embarrassed after paying so much for the company to Goodman and Co...
I guess it's now if ever...
