Q: Hi 5iR team, Many brokerage houses start each New Year by attempting to consolidate their best stock ideas for the year in a comprehensive list.....their Conviction List. I'm wondering if I may ask 51R to do the same? If I was to canvas the 5iR Staff stock experts what would the majority agree on to be your best 5 stock ideas, give or take a few, for 2020? Thanks team. Chris

Q: My husband has some old capital losses that I think we should start to be using now in the event of any possible future rule changes. He has a 10 position unregistered account in which there are 3 equities with substantial gains from 125% to 1350%, i.e.: WSP, ENGH and CJT.
There are 2 equities with 50% and 70% gain, i.e. SYZ and WPM and 1 equity with 35% gain, i.e. KXS. The remaining 4 have small profit or loss, i.e. CAE, MCR, CCL.B, PBH.
Looking at selling WSP, ENGH, CJT, SYZ ,WPM and perhaps KXS to apply some of the old losses. What would you recommend to buy for replacement (a 1st and 2nd choice if you could) and would you move back into the original equity after 30 days or would you just stick with the replacement ? A dividend would be nice but not mandatory. Also, any thoughts on timing considerations or other issues ? We have diversified RIFs and TFSAs in addition to the above.
Many thanks.

Q: I own LSPD and am up 30%+. Would you recommend staying the course with Lightspeed or selling and purchasing KXS? This represents the 2% of my portfolio I allocate to higher risk equities. (In my TFSA so capital gains is not an issue.) Thank you.

Q: Hi, using your analytical tool, it's telling me I'm still somewhat light on my tech sector. I hold a full position in CSU (and have done very well), and have half positions in OTEX and KXS (up reasonably well) and a quarter position in LSPD (flat).

What would you add to to bring my overall sector weighting up? I"m a middle of the road investor.

Thanks,
Robert
