Q: i read every question and answer everyday and 3 of your favorite companies and 3 companies you continually recommend are shopify, knight and kinaxis.i am overweight all 3. and all 3 are in your model portfolios.
we know knight is protected by its huge cash balance and once it is gone the parameters would change hopefully for the better depending how goodman spends it.
you keep making reference to shopify and kinaxis being expensive, earnings for both aug.3 and aug 4. my question is anything that i should be aware of before earnings. dave

Q: I own these 4 stocks in my TFSA account in which SIS is 2% holding overall all accounts and the other 3 are 1% overall. From reading the questions that have been asked on theses 4 stocks , you feel that DRT is a hold as well as GUD? I would like to increase my holdings so do think that it would be best to add to PLI and SIS at this time and not GUD or DRT?

Thanks
Dolores

Q: Is the etf VE okay in my cash savings (taxable) account? There is no more room in my TFSA.
Based on my research, the inception date for FEZ is Oct 15, 2002. The inception date for VE is June 30, 2014. Loblaws became buyable on the stock market January 18, 1956. What is the similar date for GUD? From, Patti.

Q: I hold these 3 plus XLV in the health care portion of my portfolio. Not adverse to risk but I am wondering whether CXR is worth the grief. Is there a case for focussing on the others, or does the risk/reward of CXR make it worthwhile holding?

Q: If you could please comment on this U.S. company IMS Healthcare. I would greatly appreciate it. Can you classify it as tech or healthcare and how it compares to its historical data PE/PCF/PB and any other fundamental that is important to you. Would you still prefer GUD over this stock? My worry with GUD is that they do not use their cash and investors become irritated and fickle. I can benefit from IMS as it diversifies my portfolio a little more to the US.I am thinking of a 1 to 3 year hold minimum. Thank You

Q: Good Afternoon,
I see that you recently answered a question on the $200MM bought deal today, I would just like to expand on this a bit please. I recall when Avigilon did this a few years ago, they already had ample cash on the balance sheet with no debt but took advantage of their high share price to issue shares and raise capital. You had mentioned at the time that they likely had a large acquisition in mind but they never really did deploy that excess cash with one single large takeover that I recall. Of course AVO has unperformed and acting poorly ever since. Any read through on GUD? They now have approximately 75% of their market cap as cash, seems awfully high with now 25% more shares outstanding. Doesn't seem to make much sense? Any further thoughts? Thank-you.
