Q: Hi Guys,

Of the picks in this folio, which ones do you consider the most likely to break out, all things being equal, and which do you like to be a candidate to be bought out?

I'm looking to deploy a little cash in a growthy pick, and would appreciate your opinion based on today's valuation and prospects. Or would you recommend holding until better signals become apparent?

Q: Hi 5i,
My current strategy is to have a hybrid approach so that I have some of the income portfolio holdings, some growth and some from balanced. In addition I have taken the same approach with US holdings and UK/Australian (to a lesser extent) so my version is diversified (both by sector and geographically, well hopefully) and I think of it like a balance equity portfolio.
Generally how does this (balanced) approach compare to the income or growth portfolio which seems more targeted in its purpose. Are there persuasive arguments to follow one style over another?
Thanks
Mike

Q: Hi there,

I currently hold almost all of the names in the Balanced Equity Portfolio and would like to dip my toes into the Growth Portfolio. What are your currently top 5 ideas from the Growth Portfolio whose risk profile would be the most similar to the names held in the Balanced Equity Portfolio?

Thank you!

Q: Hi there, thanks for the updates on your portfolios! I mostly follow your Balanced Equity Portfolio with a few swap in towards growth (ie: KL, SHOP, PHO, PEO, COV, GSY, DOL etc) - in other words I dont' mind risk, but not on the extreme end of the risk spectrum. I like the names like PBH, KXS, SIS, TOY as well. That being said, If I wanted to buy 3 of 5 names that were added to the BE and Growth Portfolios, which would be best suitable for me: RHT, WEF, TCK.B, VB, LIQ

Thanks so much!

Q: I am in the process of building the Balanced and Growth portfolios, and I would like to take advantage of the recent pullback. I had been waiting for a correction to buy SHOP, but I notice that not only did it not decline much, but that it has recovered extremely quickly. I was under the impression it would be very volatile. Apparently not.
Anyway, could you please help me order in terms of priority to buy the top three or so securities that I don't currently have in the two portfolios:
Balanced: CAE, Celestica, Altus, Parkland, Sun Life, Stella, Sylogist
Growth: Dollarama, Covalon, Photon, Shop, IWO
In terms of best in the sense that they were unfairly punished and therefore have the most potential going forward?
Thanks for always great insight.
