Q: Hi 5i,

I've dumped some underperforming stocks this month to harvest tax losses and so now am sitting on some cash to deploy.

Notwithstanding that I may repurchase a few that I still like after 30 days, I would love to get your "as-of-this-moment" Top 3 Canadian equities that you would throw some money at if it fell into your lap.

Criteria would be:

1. Must be Canadian
2. Sector is irrelevant - assume its a small part of a wider, well-balanced portfolio.
3. Dividends not relevant
4. Held in a cash account
5. 3-5 year hold

Thanks!

Q: I have $40,000 to invest in my rrif and am considering $10,000 in each of these companies. Do you have any concerns with any of them?
I'm not concerned about dividend income for these and am concentrating on growth!

Q: I’m struggling to decide which 3 of these holdings have the greatest potential if the only criteria was growth in a TFSA for a 5 year + hold.
I would appreciate any thoughts on which 3 you might keep and why (or which 3 you might divest and why).

Q: I have found conflicting information from various sources in my research of GC. My questions are:
1) What is the TTM P/E of the stock, and what is the estimated forward P/E?
2) What is the total share count currently, and what has it been in each of the last 4 years?
3) Would you start a full position in this stock today?

Good luck fellow investors!

Thanks
John

This name has been a roller coaster ride since I got into this . My average cost is 37 and change. I also own great Canadian gaming and I’m down a lot as well . Are u guys confident that throughout the volatility of both names I will be rewarded in five years time just sitting tight and dollar cost averaging into both names .
Thank u

Q: Hello Peter, I called in BNN market call but could not ask the question. Good show.
Question is about adding new money on a regular basis. What do you suggest adding to - positions that are lagging ( and thus are at the lower weight now - some listed above) or picking ones with most attractive outlook (from fundamental perspective).
Can you please suggest top 2-3 names in each portfolio at this time.
Thanks
