Q: Good Day. Just curious what would be some good diversified stocks to put in a TFSA. My friend has $10,000 to invest. His health is not good and he is near 60. His TFSA will only have this $10,000 till at least 2018.
Q: I just submitted a question on 3TL (ttm) but see I should have added the company to the text.
I would like your opinion about the lack of share price appreciation although it has upgraded shorter term contracts to yearly saas contracts with Toro, subs of MARS, I think Arm and Hammer, and now a sub of a large American media conglomerate. All of these deals are with multibillion dollar companies, although I would be the first to admit their deals are nowhere near that large.
Do you think it is because they don't mention the value of the contracts, a lack of promotion or am I overly excited because of the names?

Q: Can you comment on an article posted on Yahoo Finance by a so called Crash Guru Sandy Jadeja who says the Dow could plunge by 30 percent this year. The dates to watch for are Marc 13 and May 11. How should small investors react to articles like this. Thank you.
Q: Hey guys, thanks in advance! I'm wondering how I should allocate stocks across my TFSA and 2 different RESPs. I've been sticking to the balanced portfolio and I'm wondering if 12 stocks in my TFSA and 4 in each RESP is a good idea, or if the RESP's should be more diversified. Any advice would be great. There are 20 stocks total, all equal weight. Thanks.

Q: Just a comment
Over the past 3/6 months I have witnessed a significant activity in the micro cap and the small cap "bought deals" at discounted prices that are simply an insult for retail investors (Ie. the suckers..... I am one of those...). Discounts of 30 to even 50% are in the order of the day. The last one Acuity deal for 3000000 units at $ 3.4. Price this morning ... (drums rolling....) $4.25 at the open.
Well I have my idea about this gouging.
1/ Everybody is trying to is trying to grease their wheels before they cannot do it anymore, and nobody Ie. the Pros?? would buy acuity at 4.4 even 4. I agree and I would not except I am frustrated not to be able to get my fair share at 3.4.
2/ The market space has changed drastically with spreads so big that a mammoth would fit easily, Prices quoted are the reflection of TSX while in the meantime The pros are trading on Aequitas, Alpha, CSE, Instinet, Matchnow, Nasdaq CXC, CXD, and CX2...
3/ short sellers have a wonderful time in Canada, IROC nowhere to be seen or heard.
So what to do?
1/If you take ownership of your stocks take advantage of the gift that shor sellers give you (PHM anybody)
2/ Accept the fact that you are not the Alpha one around and that your power is limited, but refuse to be fleeced.
3/ Do not trade blindly Ie. open orders and follow YOUR stocks: Your level of comfort is directly related to your level of ownership.
Peter, your comment would be appreciated as usual.

Q: My son ( 31, single, no dependents, good salary) has $10,000 cash in his TFSA and $30,000 cash in his RRSP. He would like to begin building a growth portfolio with a 10 to 20+ year time frame. No stocks are owned at this time.
1) Suggestions on where to begin?
2) He plans to add $500 to $1000 monthly to the TFSA for the foreseeable future. Suggestions on how to employ these contributions?
Thank you, Trevor

Q: Hi 5i team,
In order to further manage my market risk in a diversified portfolio, could you provide guidance on market cap range that would define small, mid and large cap? I believe small < 1 bio, mid 1 to 5 bio and large > 5 bio is a reasonable range, but wanted to confirm your opinion.
Thanks,
Angelo

Q: Hi 5i
Due to one of the holdings becoming a runaway success it has turned into approx 30% of the overall portfolio value (I know you think this is a bet on one company, leaving that to one side my question relates to the the weighting of the remaining holdings). I'm uncertain as to whether it would be necessary to adjust the weightings of the remaining holdings and in what way. Growth/losses in the other holdings appears to be masked/muted by the overwhelming good fortune that is the 30% holding.
Thanks as always
Mike
