Q: Peter, these are stocks that I believe you have recently suggested for growth. Some have had decent pullbacks in price. Can you please rank these, based on today's prices, for purposes of long-term capital and income gains in a TFSA. And, if you have an alternative current favourite to add, please add it to the rankings. Thank you!

Q: Hi, we have Shopify and Spin Master in most accounts in the family.

Shopify has been quite volatile, in line with FANG and other technology stocks, but its swings are much higher than its peers. Recently it traded as low as $50.84 ( after a week of Trump win)and within a week as high as $60.50. Is it worth adding at current level $52?

Spin Master had an incredible run to $39.50. With recent pullback, is it prudent to add at $34-$35 level?

Thank you.

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: Hi Peter, I'm wondering about your latest insight on CJT? I've had it since the income trust days which is great. I don't ever plan to sell CJT. I realize their barriers to entry are massive but they have negative income. How is that possible? But they have positive CFO, their assets are growing more than doubling from last year but it looks like their debt is engulfing its equity. I find that SHOP, although totally different sector of course has the same scenarios but has a lower debt/equity ratio. What do you think and is it a concern for both companies? How should I evaluate these companies better because I view them as good companies still because of their competitive edge. Thanks.

Q: Peter and team:
I hold all equities in your balanced portfolio and a couple from your growth in a portfolio worth about 450K (Thank you). I currently have about 35K to invest and would like to choose one stock from your growth and two from your income to "round things out".
At current valuations and looking at a 10 year plus time frame could you please rank each of the four equities per group. Sector allocation is not a consideration.
Please deduct 2 credits and Thank you as always for a fantastic service.

Q: Google is said to have a very wide moat with it being a leader in search. But we all know what happens in tech -- when people reach the top there is no more room to grow or something disrupts that moat and it comes crashing down. How secure is Google and CSU and Shopify of them not being disrupted by new, nimble startups?

Q: Could you rank these as your number 1, 2 and 3 picks for growth, and provide some rationale. I am looking at one of these for a long-term hold of perhaps 5 years or more.
Thank-you

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!
