Q: Hello 5i,
Could you please comment on the above mentioned companies from a strictly growth perspective. Possibly rank them also, although I am more interested in your view of each.
Thanks for all your help!!

Q: In your recent answer regarding 3 growth stocks in a TFSA you chose KXS,PBH,SIS. I wonder if you could elaborate on your thoughts about how you chose these. PKI, as an example seems, to have a good growth profile over the next 2 years and pays a nice dividend. Why not choose it.
I used the numbers provided by RBC Direct Investing below.
Thanks Mike

Q: Would you purchase CSU at the current level to replace ENGH?

As well, is CSU an appropriate addition to my current holdings (OTEX, GIB and KXS)?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i

I own most of BE along with AAPL,GOOGL,DIS, TD, BEP.UN and a few others. Want to add 2 of the above soon. Which 2 would you recommend now?

Also, I would like to know your thoughts on PEG/PEGY ratios. Do you use them and if so, how?

Thanks, Greg

Q: Hi, can you please advise current PE ratios for each of these companies. Can you also rank them best to worst for adding a new position today for 3-5 year investment not taking into account sector diversification within the portfolio.

Q: I would like to hear from you on the potential impact that bad policies such as the rise of minimum wage, high power costs in Ontario and the risk of losing the NAFTA framework may have on good companies that were thriving under previous governments.

Q: Howdy!
I try to be a buy and hold investor with a long-term investment horizon in my RRSP account.
I have recently joined your service and am thinking about trying to reposition my RRSP account to emulate the sector allocation in your Balanced Portfolio.
About 30% of my portfolio is sitting on cash /cash equivalent investments right now; and I have almost 0% in the Technology and Basic Materials sectors.
As such, would you recommend a position in all of the nine equities that represent the Tech and Basic Materials sectors in your Balanced Portfolio?
Or have some of them (like CCL.B) peaked /not as much room left for appreciation compared to when first bought?

Q: Hi 5i,

In rebalancing my portfolio, I find that I am sadly lacking in tech stocks. At present, I have: CSU 4%, KXS 1.5%, Shop 0.4%. Could you suggest options to bring the total up to about 15% and designating whether they would be better suited for an RRIF or TFSA account? As a senior, I should be more conservative but, at the same time, I can stand some risk.

With thanks.
