Q: Hi 5i team!

I am scratching and pounding my head on which stocks to buy next. Here is my dilemma, I know I should buy stocks to diversify my portfolio. However, when there is blood on the streets(oil sector) it is time to buy. Need you to give me a clearer path on which stocks to buy to complement my portfolio. Here is what I have so far:

ETF; VSB 15%, VTI 15%, VEU 12% and VCE 10% which will be sold once I am a handful of stocks away from completing the model growth portfolio.

Stocks; Raging from 2% to 5%.
SJ, NUS, CXI, AYA, BNS, STN, ESL, HCG, GUD, SGY and 12% cash.

Thank you

Q: Can you provide a few non-energy, non-energy related, and non-Alberta names that have been hit unfairly over the past couple months? I'm looking for some potential bargains, but not sure if the oil decline is really over. Thanks!

Q: Your previous report and company comment sited higher cotton prices as a potential concern-since then I believe spot cotton prices have dropped about 1/3 What affect should this have on their margins.

Q: Hi Peter,
I am looking at opening a position in Gildan(GIL)and have a couple of questions. One of your concerns was with debt in your last report. LTD seems to be considerably lower as of December.If correct would this improve your rating and for EPS growth I am wondering what your estimates would be for 14&15.
Thanks
Mike

Q: This is not a question as much as a comment. GIL has been a long time hold and I agree with your comment "solid, well-managed company" but I rate it slightly higher than B personally. According to INK/TD; insiders have sold $15.5M with CFO selling $7.7M (some even as price dropping). Even tho I can't get my preferred Covered Call, I'll try to reduce my cost by a $1+ by selling some 4 5 wks. I know timing is not your thing but I thot some readers might like to read this. Great site. B
