Q: Hi folks:

hate to beat a dead horse, but do we still hold .Down close to 60 percent at the moment. I bought this for the long run but my goodness this stock is frustrating!

Thank you.

Q: would you rate this a worth while risk

Q: Hi, would you take this opportunity to begin a position in these names after missing earnings? Can you rank current opportunity for long term growth. Thanks

Q: I have hung in through thick and thin with DR. The thick was this time last year at $23 a share. The thin is right now dipping below $12 this morning. I know about the CEO leaving and the possible impact of the idiot in the White House, but what is your current take on the company? Just about out of patience.

Thanks

Kim

Q: Good Morning team

As I'm writing this KXS is down 15% this morning.
Would this be a good time to add some, sell, or wait and see.
Current portfolio weight 2.5%. Thanks. Sam

Q: Dear Team,
While I am aware that these stocks are quite diverse, I am interested in your assessment from a growth and momentum perspective.
Thanks, as always!

Q: Hi. My portfolio has no US ETFs. I have some individual US technology, financial and industrial stocks. (total 10% weight). Now, I'm planning to sell some of my Canadian stocks and to increase US stocks to 25 to 30% weight.

I'm in the process of adding more US stocks into my well diversified portfolio. My questions are 1) Do I need to buy into every US sector? If not, what US sectors should I concentrate into buying and what other US sector should I ignore? For instance, I assume I don't need US energy and US material stocks. 2) In my US portfolio, I have GOOG, ADBE, VISA, AIG, CGNX. What others US stocks should I also add?

I'm still unsure how to incorporate US individual stocks into a portfolio. Please give guidance... Have a great day.. Thank you in advance.

Q: "1 - Is there a readily available list of all the Sector and Industry classifications which are assigned to companies. I have had no luck finding it on the internet."

The Globe publishes a list every Saturday of all the TSX sectors, the companies in every sector, and their recent and YTD performance. Does this answer the question?

Q: DO you know any reason for the daily downturn of the last few weeks and the big drop today.
how would you rate this stock for investing purposes?

Q: Is there any reason for 4% drop in open text?? Seems like the recent earnings was decent.

Q: What would be the better choice in your opinion between WIR.UN and AAR.UN as an exposure to industrial REITs ? Joe

Q: I am very interested in the question and answer on free cash flow. I have no doubt it is an excellent indicator but like most others, not fool proof. In looking over the list of top 10 FCF companies, I was gobsmacked by Yellow Media in the list. It is and has been a disaster for it's investors over the years.

Q: Re: your advice to Gary this morning.

Through BMO Investorline we transfer stock in-kind directly from RRSP to TFSA.

If there's insufficient cash in the RRSP, we'll contribute just enough to cover the withholding tax. So we don't have to sell any shares.

We're slowly winding down our RRSPs and transfer only enough, in low-income years, to be able to recover the withholding tax. (Seniors often have enough tax credits to make that possible.)

Q: Thoughts on the quarter please.

Thanks.

Q: Good morning,

Looking for an industrial sector stock and I am looking at TFII. Would it be a good buy right now?

Thanks

Paul
