Q: I am looking for a growth story for my non-reg account. Any thoughts on purchasing either CXR or GUD (or perhaps both) at their current valuations. I currently have no healthcare exposure and am looking to rotate some funds out of Cdn bank holdings into more growth oriented stories.

Thank You

Q: My impression is that Bellatrix is a quality company with good management, but it has really been beaten up in this oil price crash. Orange Capital has indicated that they want to control the company and make changes to improve shareholder value, and Orange now own something like 20% of the shares I think. I'm holding on to my shares, in the expectation that something good will happen. What do you think?

Q: I am helping a friend with his university course on sports finance. It is the old game of pick stocks and invest $100k in play money. We are doing much of the decision making based on the data on the G & M watchlists. Here is the current lineup. Any other names you can think of to study that may ( or may not) be a good investment. Game is to end of March only, and only NYSE or NASDAQ stocks.
- Artic Cat
- Callaway Golf
- Collectors Universe ( thanks to 5-I)
- Columbia Sportswear
- Dick's Sporting Goods
- Electronic Arts (EA Sports)
- Escalade (bit of a stretch but the yield looks good)
- Life Time Fitness
- Madison Square Garden
- Nautilus
- Nike
- UnderArmour
- Vail Resorts
- Walt Disney
Thanks for your help.

Q: An interesting article in the Globe suggesting Indonesia could be rising now like China was in the 80s. Do you have an opinion on this? Can you recommend an ETF for Indonesia? Can you suggest any direct investment ideas? Thank you!

Q: Any recent news on the slide of Rifco shares? Is this fall simply a symptom of low oil prices and the effect it may have on commerce in Alberta? I am currently down about 20% on my position and am thinking of doubling down once oil stabilizes for a 5-10 year hold.....any comments on this strategy? Thanks for your wonderful service.

Q: Peter et al,
I have a 100 shares of Fiera which is down right now to $11.97 bought at $12.50. FSZ does not seem to be going anywhere so I am considering selling these and putting the money into Gluskin Sheff. I already have 100 shrs that I bought at $20.44 so I might consider buying more of GS. I am already over weight in financials (23.5% of my whole portfolio), partly because of the drop in the market. Could I have your thoughts on this, pls. Thanks in advance.
