Q: On the US side of my portfolio I am going to be cautious about what I add. I will get an opinion from you before making a purchase. My last recent purchase which I watched for quite some time (Netflix), made the purchase, and 2 days later it was down $75.00 per share and it does not seem to be making a recovery. I am thinking of selling Netflix and along with some US cash I have, and I will list some US stocks that look good to me. APO, NOW, ISRG, OKTA, BIIB and SFTBY. Out of these, which ones would you purchase? Thanks again, Dennis

It handles all transactions types, multiple portfolios, multiple currencies, live data, basic charts, tax tracking, and more... they also have fantastic technical service.

Q: After many years I am deciding whether to throw in the towel on Extendicare I know the stock has never been a 5i favourite
Demographics say this should be a growth stock but Extendicare has been a dog
Do you think there is any hope for this stock Should I wait until Extendicare reports In August

Could you suggest a replacement in the same space hopefully with a similar yield
Thank you

Q: I am just wondering if you know why sometimes a stock cannot be traded on line when in a self directed account. For example, in order to trade MOGO finance with TD I must call them in order to make a trade. The answer I get from TD is that they do that with a certain number of stock with low trading volume or when they are high risk stocks. I don't think MOGO falls into that category anymore than many other stocks that are thinly traded and much riskier. They have no explanation as to why MOGO is one of the stocks that cannot be traded on line. Is it worrisome? Is there something wrong with the company?
