Q: Hi
I have held EH for several months now and am down 20%. While I do understand that there is gyration in the market, I wonder if this is dead money at the moment given the state of affairs in the Prairies. If so, what company would be a better alternative? I hold it in my TFSA and its goal is growth. (I have BAD, BYD.UN, CGX, CSU, CXI, MDA, BIN, CDV, DRT, IT, KXS and GUD in my husband's and my TFSA) This represents discretionary funds for us as the bulk of our capital is managed by an investment advisor.

Thanks in advance for your advise.

Q: I am pretty well driving myself crazy trying to develop a Fixed strategy using etf's for several portfolios I am in charge of ...mine, my wife, sister ......I really am beginning to think I should just start buying bond funds from Mawer or Canso unless you could suggest say 6-8 etf's which might be OK . Otherwise I seem to be buying converts to try to get 4-5% coupled with 1% savings accounts which might actually be a safer bet IF rates keep heading upward over the next few years. Is there a firm you would suggest for bonds specifically??
Thanks.

I currently own some PHM and would like to add another stock in the Health Care space. I have a reasonable appetite for risk and look for growth over income. Could you please help me decide between CRH and VRX for, say, a two year hold?
Thank you,

Q: Hello team -
I have a 2.3% weighting in Badger Daylighting. Lately I am hearing some of negativity towards this company - about their business not being "patentable" and "increasing competition". I know BAD manufactures their own trucks at apparently a lower cost than others in this space. Aside from this, what is going to keep this 900lb gorilla ahead of the competition? Scale? Better management team?
Will expansion into the U.S. open themselves up to even more competition? What are your thoughts on this business and their possible strategy going forward?
