Q: I thank you for your thoughts on CZO & NLN. However I am still interested in small cap companies and I am more than prepared to take some risks for some potential of mid term gain. What would be your 5 top small cap companies that you would recommend for me to put on my watch list???

Q: Looking to add a full position in your balanced equity portfolio ( which I am slow adopting). Currently overweight financial and energy so those are off the table. Could more or less add any other class and be ok for weighting. Recently added OTEX and ENGH as tech stocks so those are off the table along with MG, wsp. Which havew the best buying opportunity right now....wish I had picked up MX earlier this week when it tanked 4% on weak earnings...

Q: I have half positions in CCL.B, ZCL, GSY,ECI and PHO; full positions in SIS,KXS,SHOP,PBH and GUD. Growth from 'good' companies is my only consideration and I have a 10 year timeline. These companies are part of the growth portion of a balanced portfolio.
Please provide guidance on the following 2 questions:
Could you rank my half position companies with growth potential as the sole criterion.
Is it reasonable to increase one's stake beyond a full position in any company that has excellent future prospects? If yes, please rank my full position companies based on growth potential.
Thanks for your excellent service, as always!

Q: i am thinking about full position in both SIS and PBH. I bought a little SIS before Xmas but wonder if I should move in another direction on these 2 as they have done very well recently. I have been contemplating for a while but wonder if I should wait for a pull back. Would KXS or GSY be another option? I am not to heavy in any of these sectors.
On another note I bought SHOP a while back, thanks! Your team has been a wealth of knowledge.

Q: As yet, I have not 're-balanced' my portfolio by selling some of Savaria. I still have a significant cash balance and don't really need to. Do you regard it as a sell to some degree, or should I stick with my doubling of this investment. I do have Suncor in my 'Balanced Equity Port.' Perhaps you had it at one time and I missed a sell on it? Should I keep this equity or sell it? One of the few equities I never purchased in my portfolio (it is difficult to buy in my US Schwab international acct). Seeing how it has retracted from highs, do you consider this a value purchase now?

Thank You!

Q: How does the possible exercise of the options noted below from their current MD&A impact the price and opportunity?

In April 2014, the Corporation completed a private placement underwriting 5.75 million units at a price of $3.25 per unit, for net proceeds of $17.5 million. Each unit consisted of one common share and one-half warrant entitling its holder to purchase one additional common share of Savaria at an exercise price of
$4.25. These warrants expire on April 15, 2017.

Q: I have more than doubled my initial investment in Savaria and I haven't sold any shares yet; however, I was wondering what the current forward P/E ratio is and if you would ever sell because it got too 'expensive' in the short term?

I understand buying strength and that hitting new highs is a very good sign, but say Savaria went 50% higher than it is today in a short time frame, would you ever sell purely because the valuation was too high or would you tend to ride it out and risk a pullback because after all, it is still a solid investment and a growing business?
