Q: Hi. I contributed some money to my RRSP account and would like to buy 3-5 stocks that have a lot of upside potentials given the latest drawback of the market. Though I have a 10+ years holding period, it would be nice to see short term gain. I don't mind buying US stocks (or Canadian stock) if you can recommend.

Q: Based on current fundamentals and projected earnings over the next 1 to 3 years which pipeline company would you recommend for purchase during this tax-loss season? ENB seems to have better growth potential in the next 1 to 2 years but PPL has been much less volatile over the last 3 years.

Q: My understanding that there might be hundreds of companies on the Venture and CSE exchanges involved with the BridgeMark Group. Can you comment it seems both exchanges have almost zero monitoring in terms of investor protection. The news was general downplayed and many of the affected companies named continue to attract investors.

“Based on evidence obtained in respect of the other seven issuers (companies), Staff are concerned that members of the BridgeMark Group also executed the scheme with those issuers,” stated BCSC. The other seven companies include: Kootenay Zinc Corp.; Affinor Growers Inc.; Beleave Inc.; Liht Cannabis Corp. (formerly known as Marapharm Ventures Inc.); PreveCeutical Medical Inc.; Speakeasy Cannabis Club Ltd.; and Abattis Bioceuticals Corp.

To date, BCSC has temporarily banned BridgeMark members from buying or selling shares of the 11 companies. It has also blocked all CSE-listed companies from using the consultant exemption to sell shares to BridgeMark members.

Q: Carmanah is selling its Sabik assets and will end up with net cash of about CAD $118 million. This for a company with a current market cap of only CAD $65 million. Are there significant residual assets after the Sabik sale? On its face it looks like this is an opportunity to buy a dollar for 55 cents and get the remaining business for free.

Q: Which technology shares would be the most stable and promising from the ones listed?

Q: On my US portfolio I have: VGG @ 33%, HXQ @ 25%, HXS @ 25% and a combination of IWO,XSU, XMH @ 17%. I am trying to minimize taxes (dividends & form 1135) while maintaining US exposure/growth. Would you comment on this set up? Thank you for your service.

Q: Hi 5i!
Pretty tepid reaction to yesterday's news. Even on today's broad market bounce, the stock doesn't seem to get any traction, holding barely into positive territory. And after a 50%+ fall from its june high, what are your thoughts on such negativity on TSGI? Has the fundamentals changes this much in 5-6 months? In hindsight, this feels like such a fad...

Anyways, thanks for 2018 and a Happy Holidays to all of you folks at 5i !!!

Q: Hi, I currently own Et ,Otex ,Pho, Shop, SYZ, and i’am thinking of selling two or three and buying Csu.
I will be doing this for a more stable and overall better portfolio if or when we get a further market downturn.
Is my strategy sound? And which two or three would you sell? I would also be open to sell four and keep two of the best if this works.
Thanks

Q: I just read about TENCENT's new music streaming venture. Could I get your opinion please and your opinion on TCEHY.

Q: Hi
What would the BE portfolio performance be without CSU Constellation Software be as holding over time? What if it was a company listed outside of Canada. With this thought, are there any companies outside of Canada that you would consider the same caliber as CSU (same sector is not important to me)? Sorry for the outside of Canada question but I am hoping to add some diversification over the next few years.
Thank you
