Q: Good morning, I hold these smaller cap companies in my TFSA for more aggressive growth, a strategy I believe you endorse.
In this new reality, I am thinking of a more conservative approach and selling the above and converting to FTS, RY, XRE, SLF.
If things recover well I will get a great pop on the big caps without the individual company risk associated with the smaller caps. If things go poorly with the recovery, my large cap mix should drop a lot less than the smaller caps.
Also, any of the above smaller caps that you do not like.

Thanks
Rob

Q: Good morning, Please comment on Versabank's recent quarter. Also, how does their forward PE compare to similar companies and the big banks? They now have a book vallue of $9.98 vs, stock value around $7.30, why the gap? Also, any thoughts on their new initiatives, specifically Versa Vault. I know you removed this from the growth portfolio early this year, do you think you would put it back in based on growing divvy and new initiatives?
Thanks
Rob

Q: I’m struggling to decide which 3 of these holdings have the greatest potential if the only criteria was growth in a TFSA for a 5 year + hold.
I would appreciate any thoughts on which 3 you might keep and why (or which 3 you might divest and why).

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 currently own ECN for a total weight of 5.3 % , I am thinking to make it a 3.5% weight and put the cash into VB. ECN is held in non rrsp account so I would be paying taxes on capital gains or just keep ECN as the momentum is good at the moment and analyst are increasing their target prices. At what weight would you sell some? I already own SLF and BNS for financial sector.
Thanks

Q: Hi 5I,
The above names are all owned in my TFSA. Of these, I am underweight in COV, IWO, PHO, SDX, SYZ AND VB. I've got some cash to put to work with a long term objective. With consideration to the sector weighting, and my under weights, would you recommend I top up on any at this time or maybe introduce a completely different name or names to the portfolio? Thanks!

Q: I have been analyzing my holdings through this recent rally and most have performed well , some like COV and HMMJ spectacularly well. VB and CRH are two which are not participating. I know you are not fans of CRH. Why is VB not participating ? While it is a short term view, surely sentiment must have an effect. Even GUD is up lately.

Q: Hello,
i have little exposure to financials in my TFSA. What would be your top 3 ideas in order of preference at this time I could consider? I plan to own for the next 10 to 15 years if possible.
I was looking at GS and FSZ given the yield and they are trading near their lows. I guess the sub-sector they operate in makes me a bit cautious.
I own full positions of BNS and SLF in my RRSP.
Thanks,
Dan
