Q: I recently subscribed to your service and I would like to implement your balanced equity portfolio.
I understand that the shares mentioned below may still have some growth potential and that it make sense to hold on to them if they were purchased at a lower price. However, I find it difficult to purchase them at their current price and P/E ratio.
Ccl.b $ 290 P/E ratio 30 ( went from $97 to $290)
Csu. $645 P/E ratio 49 ( went from $120- $645)
Kxs. $70. P/E ratio 127 ( went from $44 to $70)
Engh $55 P/E ratio 31 ( went from $19 to $55)

Could you suggest a replacement for each of those companies that will be in line with the strategy, asset allocation and the targeted annualized return of the balanced equity portfolio.

Q: I recently purchased share certificates that included warrants, I have converted those certificates to actual cash shares and deposited them into my non-registered trading account. My question is this: when, or if the time comes that I am able to exercise those warrants, can I make that purchase from my TFSA trading account, even though the original shares those warrants came with were deposited into a different account? Eg., each warrant allows me to buy one share at .10 while each share certificate trades at $1.00 and I have 10,000 warrants. Can I exercise those 10,000 warrants using cash from my TFSA then place all 10,000 shares into my TFSA (a "transfer in kind" I am assuming)when the value will now be far greater and would far exceed my contribution limit. I am thinking it would be just like purchasing normal shares in my TFSA then they double or triple, if I were to be so lucky, I just don't know how the warrant is viewed by CRA

Q: Hello, my question is about an article I read in CMS. Bill Gross says investors need to watch only one number in 2017 to figure out what returns are going to look like across the various markets, and that’s whether the 10-year Treasury yield crosses the 2.6% mark. As of today the 10-year yield is 2.48%. "If 2.6% is broken on the upside...a secular bear bond market has begun," Gross said. "Watch the 2.6% level. Much more important than Dow 20,000. Much more important than $60-a-barrel oil. Much more important than dollar/euro parity at 1.00. It is the key to interest rate levels and perhaps stock prices in 2017."
So my questions are, what will happen if it crosses the 2.6% mark? Does this mean that the yield on bond ETFs such as XBB and VSB will increase? Does this mean that this will be good for the stoch market in general? What is a secular bear bond market?Regards, Gervais

Q: Hi there,

I am looking to establish holdings in several Canadian energy companies and would like your input. Could you name 4 small/mid cap Oil and gas stocks that you think are poised to have the most upside if crude can settle in the $55/60 range this year? Also, your favourite service stock from among Trican Well, Precision Drilling, Calfrac or any that you prefer to these three.

Thanks!
