Q: Hi Peter and Group. I have just taken some profits on WEF - I needed to lessen my exposure anyway. What is your top 3 stocks I should reinvest in? (regardless of sector) - I am a moderate risk investor. Thanks for the service

Q: Hi 5I just reviewing our positions and two laggards of late are fcr. and exe. Not concerned about holding them but wondering about replacing them for a better dividend or potential growth. Your thought would be appreciated.

Q: Do the high p/e ratios on these stocks concern you or does their future growth take care of that? Also, are their dividends sustainable over the long term? Morningstar reports a low ROE on BEP and BIP, yet they are ranked as a high quality investment. AQN,BIP-UN and especially BEP-UN also seem to have high debt levels. Are these still good buys? thanks

Q: Any obvious reason for the jump in Savaria on a down day?

Q: Savaria is taking a hit yet again. Any news? Is it a good time to add to position?

Q: These 3 companies represent 5% of my portfolia. I was thinking of adding more BEAT. Can you give me your thoughts on BEAT? I could not find any reference to it under member questions.

Q: I want to add some stocks to my TFSA and would prefer to have companies with good dividends (approx. 4%) and decent capital appreciation prospects for the next 3 to 5 years. Would you have any names that fit these criteria? Thanks

Q: Hi - With the recent pullback in many stocks, have any of your favourites dipped in price enough that you would be advising clients to hop on board. Totally understand that this is just guessing but hoping that a few jump out at you. No need to consider KYC factors in your response. Many thanks!

Q: I currently own both of these companies. I'm planning on adding to one. Which would be your first choice for a long term hold {3 to 5 years} balancing some safety with reasonable growth.


Thanks Valter

Q: Would you buy at these levels or wait for further declines?

Q: So with both dropping with the market, which one would be the best buy for a growth holding and safety, do not own either one?
Thanks again.

Q: Any comments on the 5%+ drop today. Would you recommend adding to this level. The stock is up 90%+ in last one year so would this be profit taking? I do not see any negative news. Thank you for the answer.

Q: My industrials currently consist of SIS@4.3%. BIP@ 3.8% and ZCL@3.5%. Each month i have the ability to contribute about 1% of portfolio value. I would like to add to my industrial section. Any suggestions or changes to holdings? Probably happy with three stocks but could add another. Hold about 33 stocks in my balanced portfolio.

Q: Hi

I have 25000 investable cash for my tfsa acct, can you recommend 3 stocks I can pick for a long term(5years)hold.

Thanks.

Q: I have opened an RESP for my 5month old with 3K in it (2500 plus 500 from govt). I know its small the first year, but I don't want to add a Canadian ETF as they are too oil and gas and financial focused.

I would like to own some good Canadian growth names that will hopefully be worth a lot when she heads off to school in 18 years and would like to keep it small since it is a small account to start. My idea was the following 7: GUD, SHOP, SIS, T, TD, AQN, PBH. I would like your opinion on them. Would you do anything differently?

Once I own all of the Canadian stocks my plan is to add XAW for world diversification.

What do you think of this idea? Which stocks would you add to the account first? I was thinking of starting with either 3 of 1K each or 4 of 750 each. I pay 7 dollars to buy them which isn't too bad.

What order would you add in?

With only 3K per year in the account it would take 3 years to get the stocks and ETF. I could just add another 2500 to the account now so that I can buy more of it now and be instantly diversified. I would not receive the grant on it but would I still receive future grants?

Q: I am wondering how to proceed...SIS is held in a well balanced "balanced" portfolio and now it's weighting is 7.8% with 55% unrealized gain. (SIS position is held in TFSA). I'm wondering
which "rule" I follow now....reduce the weighting or let the winner run? How do I decide which one to follow for SIS? Or do I do a compromise and cut the weighting to 6% rather than 5%?

Q: Hello
I currently have a 20% gain on Rogers and was thinking of selling as I would like to use the funds to continue emulating the growth portfolio. With the funds from the sale I would buy a position in PUR and add to Savaria. Appreciate your comments. I have over a 5 year time horizon.
Thanks
Sal

Q: 2 question : So bomber has bounced a bit so time for me to suck it up and sell at a 30% loss. Sell now or hold off a few more days to see if it has some legs.

Once I sell BBD.b what full position of the balanced equity portfolio would you buy right now: ccl, gud, nfi, sis, sj, syz, t or toy? Currently rebalancing my CAD equity portfolio to loosely match your portfolio and those above fill gaps in my allocation. Open to off the list suggestions but already overweigh or OK in financials, energy and tech.

Q: I purchased Savaria at a much lower cost and sold taking profit. It has gone up steadily since I sold If I purchase shares at this 17+, is there much growth left in the company?
Thank you
