Q: I would like to add a growth stock to my TFSA. Looking at your growth portfolio I narrowed it down to one of SHOP, KXS, DBO, PLI, TNC or ZCL. In today's environment which one of these six stocks would you add? I am relatively diversified across all sectors, so sector is not an issue at this time.

I was originally leaning towards either SHOP or KXS. If you didn't select one of these from the six stocks listed above, which one out of these two would you pick?

The funds to purchase the growth stock will come from the sale of IPL or WCP in my TFSA. Of these two which would you sell to get the funds for the growth stock? p.s. I also own IPL and WCP in a non-registered account and plan to keep those.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I wanted to add a technology sector company and was wondering of the current stocks in the BE portfolio, which one has the most room to grow? They are all doing very well.
Thanks,

Q: Hi 5i
I have encountered some Financial pundits who say that Good Will on a company's books would be more transparent if it was called "an accounting plug".
Where is this factor declared in Financials? Do KXS and SIS have Goodwill on their Books? Does 5i consider that Good Will is a valid descriptor in some circumstances

I don't ask many questions but I appreciate the service you provide

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I manage my son's TFSA, and have recently almost completed a more appropriate sector allocation. In the Technology space, he has a half position in KXS. What Technology company would you recommend at this point for another half position? I was thinking of CSU but I wish it would split at least 10:1. :) How about SYZ which seems to be on a tear, or do you suggest something else at this point?

Thanks in advance for your valued advice.

Q: Hello Peter, you've recently answered some questions as to current investment options for growth-oriented TFSAs, including the above companies. My TFSA has funds to permit three "growthy but not OVERLY risky" new investments. Whether from among the above choices or not, can you , considering the recent changes in market prices, please suggest your top 3 current choices to add to a TFSA (on top of my fairly balanced overall portfolio). Thank you!

Q: As a newer subscriber to 5i, i am interested in purchasing your BE portfolio. The above names have had huge run ups and I don't know how to approach them. Which ones are buyable at these levels?
Of the ones you deem buyable, can you comment, for each, as to whether a half position or full position should be taken.
And can you rank these in terms in terms of your preferences at current levels?

Thank you for your excellent service, as always.

Q: KXS was up over 5% on Monday. 15 minutes prior to the Monday open the stock had a bid/ask of $55. Can you shed some light on how the pre market TSX works. The stock closed on Friday around $62 and as stated dropped as low as $55 before opening around $61. Are stocks actually traded in the pre market and if not how was the bid/ask of $55 determined? Thank you.

Q: Being a relatively young investor in my late 20s I think I should be allocating more of my portfolio to high quality growth stocks. (I likely have too much allocated to blue chip dividend cos) I have owned ATD.B, CSU and SJ for some time and was wondering if you could suggest some other similar consistent growth cos to look into?
