Q: Hi 5i,

My portfolio has: AD, POW, REI,SRU, PPL, ATD, MG, BCE, EMA and GUD.
In your opinion do I have exposure to all sectors with quality stocks? Which ones would you suggest to add or get rid of?

Thank you!

Q: I have an average price on BMY shares of $69 having bought near peak price...when the recommendations by other analysts ( not 5i) were extremely positive. After, the company missed expectations with a drug and the downfall began. Now, I am wondering, what factors would you consider in making the decision whether to exit this losing trade and put the $$ into an alternate pharm company such as GUD or an ETF such as some you have recently mentioned IHI.

Q: I am retired and able to live comfortably on
my Federal government superannuation, OAS and CPP.
Can you recommend a single stock for a TFSA, in which I currently hold a full position in ENF and a double position in AYA purchased when originally recommended by 5i?

Thank you for considering my question.

Q: I am starting an RESP fund for my new son (initial investment maxed at $5000). I would like to begin with a somewhat aggressive growth-seeking small portfolio, and to then gradually add one or two stocks each year for diversification up to about 8 or 10 stocks in total. For my opening purchase, I am considering three stocks -- Kinaxis (KXS), Constellation (CSU), and Knight Therapeutics (GUD). Two questions: This seems to be a decent time to buy these particular stocks, would you agree? And would you replace any these stocks with any others? (I'm open to anything growthy, but have been considering Shopify (SHOP), Photon Control (PHO), Enghouse (ENGH).) Thanks, and great job.
PS: Should I wait to buy until a few days after the BoC rate decision, or has the market reaction more or less already played out?

Q: I own equal amounts of both of these shares (1% of my portfolio).

BDSI is performing well and owns a non-opiod painkiller (BELBUCA) that just received approval from Health Canada. They need a contact in Canada to sell/distribute it. Is this the sort of thing that Knight would facilitate?

Palladin used to sell BDSI products but recently returned that portfolio to BDSI to focus on other areas. BDSI now sells directly in US.

Q: Hi guys.
Feeling a bit deflated. I joined pretty recently and decided to take a chunk of cash and put into your highest rated stocks above. In a short couple of months I am down almost 10%. Every one has lost money. Are they still all in favour. Do I just plug my nose and wait? Also, I have some short term cash I need to park. Was going to put half in Apple with the recent pull back....thoughts? Any other ideas for a two month hold?
thank you

Q: I have opened an RESP for my 5month old with 3K in it (2500 plus 500 from govt). I know its small the first year, but I don't want to add a Canadian ETF as they are too oil and gas and financial focused.

I would like to own some good Canadian growth names that will hopefully be worth a lot when she heads off to school in 18 years and would like to keep it small since it is a small account to start. My idea was the following 7: GUD, SHOP, SIS, T, TD, AQN, PBH. I would like your opinion on them. Would you do anything differently?

Once I own all of the Canadian stocks my plan is to add XAW for world diversification.

What do you think of this idea? Which stocks would you add to the account first? I was thinking of starting with either 3 of 1K each or 4 of 750 each. I pay 7 dollars to buy them which isn't too bad.

What order would you add in?

With only 3K per year in the account it would take 3 years to get the stocks and ETF. I could just add another 2500 to the account now so that I can buy more of it now and be instantly diversified. I would not receive the grant on it but would I still receive future grants?
