Q: Hello 5i, I'm a growth oriented investor with a broad diversified portfolio.
I have a full position in Transforce (TFII). I'm currently down 15% and thinking what I can currently do to increase my overall rate of return. In your professional opinion, would you suggest myself to sell TFII, take the loss and redeploy and invest in a similar company such as CNR? and or, invest in something in a different sector that would possibly produce more growth such as AMZN, BABA, GOOGL, for and within an investment time frame of 2 years. Please feel free and suggest any companies that you would recommend now for growth. Thank you for your excellent service.

Do you think the share price will subsequently fall?

Q: Hi Peter and team,
Impinj Inc has a very nice run up lately, it dropped 13% today along with the other tech stock.

What is your thought of this company. Do you see strong future growth?

Would you think it is buyable at this level or is it still too expensive?

Thanks as always. Pui

Q: Is there a better deal out there for Sandvine or should I sell it now? I was thinking of putting the proceeds into Open Text or Shopify now that it has sold off.

Thank you.

Q: Good morning gents,

Please forgive me if this question is out of bounds.

Currently started my investment career in April. I have all stocks in the Beport covered to a T. I also hold a large holding in CNR form employee share plan which is double the Beport holding, 400K. I am looking at the growth portfolio and don't know if I am extending myself to thin.

I was interested in a 50k start and was wondering if this is appropriate given the amount I have in equities.

I have a 5 yr timeline to retirement with a decent pension plan. Thanks for the terrific insight to a formerly very cautious, see bank account investor. Risk level has gone from scared sh-tlless to moderately confident.

If this is two cumbersome or difficult. a question please disregard.

Q: Could I have your perspective on Falcon. With the industry a bit beaten up, many of its holdings being in Europe and Europe looking better economically, would you recommend this stock as a buy currently ... assuming my information is correct?
Thank you.

Q: I am looking at ENB for a very long term hold, preferably a never-sell situation where I can rely on the dividends through retirement. Difficult question, but with the decline of fossil fuel use over the next few decades as electric vehicles and alternative energy come into play, is ENB less attractive for very long term dividend growth? Thanks.

Q: What do you think of this company? Would you be a buyer?

Thanks

Q: I have been following A&W and Boyd for years and years.
I finally bought A&W recently. Now I would like to switch
the A&W for Boyd. I have more stocks than i really need ,
and not enough spare cash to hold meaningful positions in both. I think that I would prefer the growth that
Boyd might offer over the income from A&W,since although
the position is 2% , the income really isn't meaningful


Would his switch be a reasonable one ?

Thanks in advance for considering this question.

Q: Can you recommend a handful of your preferred US tech names? Also can you suggest anything in your coverage universe in tech that you would be wary of right now? For the latter I am curious about Canadian tech companies that you like but that for one reason or another may be best to avoid in the shorter term. Thanks.

Q: My industrials currently consist of SIS@4.3%. BIP@ 3.8% and ZCL@3.5%. Each month i have the ability to contribute about 1% of portfolio value. I would like to add to my industrial section. Any suggestions or changes to holdings? Probably happy with three stocks but could add another. Hold about 33 stocks in my balanced portfolio.

Q: I have stayed away from LP stocks due to worries about tax issues. Do you have any general comments on LP stocks? for example, If one holds BEP.UN on the TSX, should one purchase it in a registered or non registered account? Are there tax concerns....or is that only a problem if one purchases on the US stock exchange?

Thank you so much for your comments on this issue.
