Q: Hi Team,
I have held a full position on both ENB and PPL for 4 years. Share price of ENB has been steadily dropping over the 1 - 2 years while PPL had held its own. I am therefore thinking of moving my money from ENB to PPL (I am therefore may be overweighed on PPL). Your thoughts and comments would be appreciated.
Cheers

Q: Glencore announced it will bring back zinc production again (as much as about 500mil tons). Can I get your comments on how this might affect zinc prices and TV in the next few quarters? i.e. How fast could Glencore ramp up its production causing a meaningful hit to the stock price of TV? Maybe this news was anticipated already by the market since we have had a pullback in TV from the 1.60 level.

Q: Regarding RHT I see they raised some capital today. Would you consider the price of the offering to be a vote of confidence in the company ? Also it looks like the same business that PHM was in.
If the costs of the monitoring programs are covered by private health insurers or government they could be subject to fee cuts just like CRH was. Could you comment on these concerns.
Thank You
Clarence

Q: Seasons Greetings 5i!!
I've done well on Firan Tech. over the last couple of years but it has stalled in 2017. I'm considering selling it and buying either TSGI or AVO for more growth. I'm concerned over which sectors I'm moving in or out of. Could I have your thoughts please?
Thanks

Curious about your thots here.

Q: Not a stock specific question but more of a learning question. Have done well with PEO and COV but the volume of shares traded is very low. I can see these 2 companies continue to be successful and I was wondering at they grow and more investors want to get into the shares what are the options the company have to increase the liquidity of shares and are the options usually beneficial to existing shareholders?

Thanks

Q: Hi Peter,

Thank you for your new design and continued service. I have decided to sell PUR in my TFSA ($5k) and take the profit and reinvest. I was looking at growth stocks in Canada and did not like the alternatives (maybe ZCL or SHOP). My options appear to be in the USA or Asia. IF you could choose one growth stock (even a CDN one), which stock would you choose for a TFSA.
We have KXS, SYZ, AQN, FTS, FSZ, MFC, BNS, SIS

Thank you
Jerry and Debbie
