Q: Hi Peter, I am looking for a growth replacement for CLS and it can come from any of your portfolios. Please suggest your top 3 or 4. I already own PHO, PUR, TV and ZCL in a 29 stock portfolio. Time frame 1-3 year hold.

Many thanks for your candid advice. It has served me well for over 4 years now and I have renewed my membership for 2 more years.

Q: Hi Peter and team
I need cash from our LIF/RIF accounts and need to decide which stocks to pare. Considering future growth, should I sell equal amounts from ENGH / GIB'A or sell only one , and MG / PBH for another account? Appreciate your help.

Q: Hi there, I am looking to add 3 of the 5 names to my portfolio. I know you are a fan of all 5 but how would you rank these? I like a balanced approach but am open to growthier names and would be purchasing for a longterm hold. Thanks!

Q: You recently commented that 18% of a portfolio in utilities is fairly high, especially in a time of rising interest rates and might reduce across the board here.
Can you recommend your top 3 stock picks with dividends that you feel will benefit the most in this time of rising interest rates? Not including the big banks.

Q: Hi, i am looking to add some of these names to my portfolio. I want long term growth. I am young and can hold 5 years plus. Please ignore sector diversification. Can you rank best to worst. Can you also comment on significant valuation differences? IE MG versus NFI or WPK. Is it simply business earnings stability? Because it appears growth in Magna earnings is quite significant even relative to NFI or WPK.

Q: I have a portfolio that mostly mirrors your balanced portfolio with some stocks from your growth portfolio. In tech I hold PHO instead of SYZ which has worked out great. However in consumer discretionary I hold a 2% position in XTC instead of MG which has not been as great. I also hold TOY (5.6%) and DOO (3.5%) instead of GC. I have a 1.5% cash position to put to work and am trying to decide on adding a half position in GC or adding to XTC. Alternatively I could sell XTC at a loss and buy a full position(3%+) in MG or GC. Your ideas would be appreciated. Thank you

Q: Hello Peter and 5i team,
I have done very well with Linamar and was thinking that it might be wise to switch to Magna at this time. It seems that Magna has a bigger global footprint and a better chance of participating in the electric car movement, especially over seas. Linamar appears more focused on non electric vehicles .
I would greatly appreciate your opinion, thanks

Q: I have some cash to deploy and I want to add to some small or half positions in the following 10 companies: MG, NFI, SIS, MX, SJ, PBH, ZCL, WSP, BCE, ENB. I would like to buy into some of these stocks today and some later, to spread the risk of the market's ups and downs. Which of these would you suggest I buy today, and which should can I hold off on? I am otherwise well diversified, so that is not an issue for how this cash is used.
Please deduct as many credits as you like. Thanks for the great service.

Q: I own MG and MTY in consumer cyclicals and contemplating adding another name among GIL, RCH, ZZZ or CTC.A. Please order them from best to worst as a solid complement to the two I already have, as part of an RRSP account with a 15+ years time frame. Please give a brief rationale and suggest another company if there is an obvious better choice. I note that the stock value of RCH is surprisingly stable on multi-year charts for a c. cyclical.
