Q: Bought BAD a few months back as a recovery play and have done ok however recent results cause me to question the growth prospects. Should I continue to hold or sell and add to my existing positions in SIS, NFI, QSR and MG. All good recovery plays in my opinion.

Q: Similar question to the one I asked yesterday. This is regarding some small/medium sized consumer and consumer-related type Canadian stocks. How would you feel about holding each of these stocks in your portfolio, on a 1-10 scale, with a 10 being you definitely want the stock in your portfolio, a 1 being a stock you want no part of, and a 5 being a stock you are basically indifferent about. As part of broadly diversified portfolio, looking for total return over the next 5+ years, comfortable with risk. ACQ, AW.UN, DOO, ECN, GOOS, HTL, LNF, MTY, SIS, SVI, ZZZ.

Q: I've portioned off a smaller amount of my portfolio into a separate unregistered account, reserved for growth names. Currently holding GRN, KRR, PRN, QST, STC, WELL. I have cash for 4 more names, will hold for up to 6 years. I was thinking about SIS. XBC is already held in my TFSA. Can you please suggest 4 growth names to consider that would complement the existing holdings? Thanks.

Q: For New money to initiate positions which 5 stocks in each of the portfolios would you recommend investing. On a related note, is there a reason you don’t put buy or hold or buy up to prices in any of the portfolios, or is your stance if it is in there it is a buy regardless of how much a stock may have run up since it was originally recommended.

Q: I have purchased your Portfolio Analytics tool - so far so good. For my RRSP, I need to increase stock holdings from 2% (average) to 5%. This will assist me to better align my industry allocation while increasing my average stock percentage . Do you feel its a good time/right stocks to bring to a 5% holding - PBH, WSP, WELL and SIS? All are currently at approx. 2% and I have a 17 year investment horizon. If you feel WELL is too much risk can you suggest another health stock?

Q: Hello
If you had to chose between SIS and GDI to hold for the next three years, which would you prefer. They are close in market cap but SIS pays a monthly dividend and appears to be making a comeback. I currently hold GDI but am leaning toward switching back to SIS
Thanks for your great service

Q: Hi,
I'm finally just back above water on SIS with its recent highs. Typically, once I've ridden a stock to the low lows without selling and it comes back up, I sell once I break even - and consider myself lucky. But I know that's really the right move - it's the emotional move.

My ACB is $17 bucks. Do I keep my finger away from the sell button and hold on for more upside?

Thanks,
Robert

Q: Hi team,

What would be your favourite/top growth stock under $5? (in a prior answer you had indicated STC, is this still the case? I do own a 1/2 position at $2.65 as per your prior suggestion...thanks!!)
Favourite/top growth stock under $10?

5-10+ year holding period.
