Q: Gentlemen good morning

Can you please name a short list of good stocks (US and Can, any sector ) that can be on a growth & a value list
It’s a tricky or irrational question but I try it.
Thanks Regards

Q: I hold 5 Growth Portfolio 5iR position as noted above.....that I've held for some time.
I've decided to fold them into my Income and Balance Portfolios rather than track the group separately. The reason is to better manage the position weightings. Although these 5 are more growth-er positions, I'm really more a 70/30 balance/income investor...and closely follow the 5iR positions and weightings.
Now for my question - what weightings would you give each of ECN and GSY in an income portfolio, and also for each of DOL, OTEX, PEO and SHOP in a balanced portfolio?
.......again, thanks for your guidance......Tom

Q: I currently hold both.

Re ECN.PR.A
1. Reset Dec. 5 , 2021
2. Rate cannot be less than 6.5%
3. Protection against rising rates, but with rates neutral and/or falling there is an increase likelihood of redemption at $25.
4. Price of Pref. Has trended along with ECN. Cibc has a target of $5.00
5. Reset at 5 yr Canada plus 5.44 (1.523 + 5.44 = 6.963). My book value is $23.57 for a yield of 6.9%
6. Relative to ZPR the price has dropped.
7. I’ve been unable to see the trend on volume.
Question is to make sense of all this, Sell hold or sell half position and keep the cash for other opportunities.

Q: Hello,
I own ATA and AIF in my RRIF account, both of them suffering a small loss. I would like to replace one or both of them with ECN. What is your thought? I usually like to hold stocks for at least 3 years. Thank you very much.
