Q: I am in the process of helping my fiance invest her money. She has 14 000 in her TFSA. Can you suggest a mix of stocks? She still has approximately 25 years left in her job as a nurse. As she has many more years of work, she is willing to take on a high degree of risk for a 'growth portfolio.'

Regards,
Ryan

Q: Hello 5i.
I have been fortunate to ride the renewables up recently, their growth has matched or exceeded that of the tech sector which is pretty amazing. Both sectors seem overvalued but good long term places to be. My question is what do you see in the future given their valuations and overall trends and should an investor consider an overweight position in either or both? best regards. gary

Q: Do you see the current Coronavirus concern as a potential roadblock for stock prices in general and, in particular, for Lightspeed (lspd) as increased fear could - most likely would - seriously damage the restaurant business. I realize many businesses would be damaged but restaurants are an optional and vulnerable expense. Is the market too complacent towards this spreading danger?
Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

James Hodgins commented on Savaria recently: "There is all this growth potential in the stair lifts but a big chunk of their business is car lifts, which are a big luxury and which is in decline. He is slightly short the stock. He doesn't see a huge upside."

This stock is a loser in my wife's RRIF, and would like your opinion regarding his negative opinion of the car lift sector, and if you concur that it's the main reason for recent under performance.

Would you be OK with classifying Savaria in the Healthcare sector instead of Industrial?

Thanks as always for your advice and insight.

Q: The stock is down about 13% after the release of their quarterly results
- overreaction or about right? Is M&A activity the only thing that will move this stock or is there some other catalyst(s)? While the longer-term dividend growth has been nice would you expect an upswing in the next two years? I have held this a long time but wondering if its best days are behind it.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: My instincts predict the federal government will bump the capital gains tax from 50 to 75 or maybe even 100 and that there won't be any grandfather clause, ie immediate day of March budget. Were this a known fact to happen, please offer your thoughts on what you would recommend. Thanks!
