Q: What are your best Canadian listed growth stocks regardless of sector?
Read Answer Asked by Gregory on April 22, 2019
Q: According to Portfolio analytics, I own about 7% of my portfolio in 3 Canadian banks and another 7% in 3 US banks. I also own another 25% of my portfolio in BAM, Visa, SLF, BRK.B and GSY which are in the "Financial" sector but are very different from each other as well as different from banks. How concerned should I be with this aspect of my portfolio. I don't need the money for 25 years.

Q: Using your portfolio analytics we find we are underweight in Financials and need to add to these stocks. The percentages from highest to lowest are SLF, BNS, TD, GSY, VB. Which ones would you add to first. These are held in a RRSP account with a 5 year timeframe.
Thank You

Q: I am finding your 'Portfolio Analytics' to be an outstanding service. The imbalances within my portfolios are abundantly clear.
I am overweight financials with
TD - 3.55%
JPM - 5.19%
BAC - 6.77%
GSY - 1.29%
CXI - 0.71%
All stocks show a decent profit except for CXI which is down 23%.
I have fairly high risk tolerance and I look for reasonable growth. I would appreciate your recommendations on how to reduce my financials by approximately 3%

Q: Hi,

With the takeover of GS, I'm looking for a new name in the world of Canadian Finance. I can't find a company that pays the great divy (with special) that GS did, so I'm looking for some growth. With the recent pullback of GSY, would you support moving my cash into GSY as a within-sector replacement?

When did GSY last raise their divvy and did they give a reason why?

Q: Hello all.
Looks like GS has worked out ok for recent purchasers.
Given this:
"The Gluskin Sheff board of directors, after consultation with its financial and legal advisers, has unanimously approved the transaction and determined that it is in the best interests of Gluskin Sheff, and unanimously recommends that Gluskin Sheff shareholders vote in favour of the transaction." I would expect low likelihood of a competing offer- your thoughts?

Also wondering if you can recommend another pick, (in any industry), with similar qualities, especially a significant and solid dividend.
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter,
I've just become a member of 5i Research so trying to determine a few stocks to start buying into. TOY has always intrigued me and based on the recent weakness and your answers to recent questions on the company seems good for new money for a long term horizon. What other 2-3 names would you consider for new money. 3 year term horizon, don't mind short term volatility. Thanks
