Q: Hi guys,

Which stocks do you think have the potential to become 5, 10, or even 20 baggers over time? Would PBH, SIS, and PBL be on the list (or has their time past)? Also, can you rank the three in terms of which have the most growth going forward?

Thanks in advance.

Q: My local newspaper had an enlightening article on opioid prescriptions to treat chronic pain. The article stated that over 9 million prescriptions were filled "in Ontario alone" during 2015-2016. I found this number astounding considering the population is about 14 million which means one in every three people had this prescribed during that time which was an increase of 500,000 from three years previous to those dates.
Does this not mean Knight's announcement of Health Canada's approval of Probuphine for opioid treatment is a huge event? Why would they announce this after the close on a Friday - it seems like a big deal. What do you think?

Q: I currently own in my RRSP the following stocks : GUD, KXS, SLF, SIS, AQN (1/2) and FTS (1/2). I have 6K$ that I would like to add to only two or three of those stocks to avoid too much trading costs.
I have a longterm timeframe (20years +) for my RRSP and am diversified across my other accounts.
I was thinking of KXS, SLF and SIS first, but utilities also look quite cheap to me these days.
What would be your selection? I'd rather not add a new position to avoid having to many...

Q: Hello Peter,
On your april 9th reply to QSR, the dividend that was indicated was above 3 percent; I am seeing a dividend of 1.9 percent on google. Any idea? Also, I am planning to keep QSR , GUD, SIS, ADW.A, Shop, and Spot as long term holds. Any concerns here? My weights range from 2 to 4 percent. Lastly, I I know you have had lots of questions on Knight, but from a shareholders perspective, are we not waiting along time to get some results that are meaningful to increase stock price? What are the analysts saying about Knight as I am sure their clients are not happy with the stock price. Thanks again for the great input.

Q: Regarding GUD and ENDP Asked by Serge and others waiting for GUD to make a move. Considering debt load, Enbridge merged with Spectra, Davis and Henderson bought Harland Financial. What happened to ENB share price and where is D&H today. Could Knight be biting off too much as well if they were to move on ENDP considering the debt they would inherit?
Quote: "ENDP has more than $7B in debt and less than $600M in cash flow in the last 12 months. The stock is down 50% in a year. Interest expenses of $488M last year ate up nearly all of its total cash flow. Earnings are lower than they were 8 years ago."

Q: Good morning 5i
While skimming local media this morning the article in globe business caught my attention; Acasta.

Taking the article at face value highlights the benefit of not being rushed to put capital to use. Mistakes can be costly; overpaying and large debt levels.

I don't like seeing Gud underwater but I know it is not permanently impaired nor priced for destruction.

Thanks for the service.

Q: I need to add to my healthcare sector. Currently own GUD, COV & PLI. What 2 or 3 stocks would you recommend & could you please rank them in order of preference.
Also, not happy with the momentum at CHE.UN. Would you hold & if not, what would you replace it with? Doesn't need to be an income stock.

Thanks

Q: With re balancing in my cash account I have a capital gain of $25,000 in 2018. If I were to sell my CGX, ENB and GUD I would have a loss of $14,000. My thinking is that this loss would offset the capital gains.

I intend to re buy these 3 stocks after the 30 day period,

Does this make sense?

Thank you

Sincerely

Mike

Q: Hi Peter, bought more GUD today and have a quick curiosity question on what they do with all the cash reserves while they wait. It looks like ~$788M vs 142.8M shares = ~$5.52/share. I'm assuming that with that magnitude of funds they'd get a pretty decent rate/month; but is that what they do ? Also, what size ($) of company would/could they target with the amount of cash they have ? And, is the thought that any purchase would be NA based or does that matter ? Thanks.
