Q: Happy New Year Peter and 5i team,
I was thinking of adding Google to my Canadian funds TFSA. It was a recent top pick by two well known analysts on market call. They said that the company is attractively valued, has good growth potential, and good cloud business potential with growing revenues. Do you agree?
What are the consequences of holding a US stock in a can funds TFSA? Is it better to hold in an open account?
Thank you for your opinion

Q: There wasn't much info given on Enghouse's purchase of Dialogic. They acquired it for 1 times sales which seems low. Do you know if the low on that metric is offset by something like low or no profitability, slowing sales, etc?

Q: I'm an owner of the Balanced Equity portfolio. I had to turn over a lot of the portfolio in the second half of last year due to some transactions I was doing. I'm now back to having my cash and looking to rebuild the part of the BE portfolio I'm missing.

How do you see GIL for new purchases today? Any key BE names other than this one I should focus on now given market conditions today?

Q: Hi 5i,

Is ILMN still a good growth company now that the merger looks very unlikely? Would you still hold it or look elsewhere? If the latter, what would be a good alternative in the same industry?

TIA

Q: An article in the Fin Post calls Marketaxess the undisputed champion in the S&P financial index for the last decade. Your only comment on this company was in March,2018. The company appeared to have done very well up till then. The CEO was even interviewed that year by Crammer on his show. As I understood that interview, MKTX is sensitive to interest rates, yet it continues to rise in value in this low interest environment. Do you think MKTX is a safe way to have "bond" exposure? Belated season's greetings. Lionel
