Q: Some of my favourite smaller cap stocks. Would appreciate a ranking on 2 fronts. First, please rank from 1 to 12 for the upside potential for the stock price over the next 5 years. Second, please rank from 1 to 12 the downside risk for the stock price over the same time frame. Understood that all are higher than average risk. ATZ, BRM, CPH, GRID, HPS.A, KSI, MDA, PNG, PRL, TGH, VHI, ZDC

Q: I currently own a small position in BRM in my TFSA which is down around 25%. I don't usually average down but I might make an exception on this stock given that have good positive numbers and outlook. I own larger positions in other small caps PNG,ZDC, VHI and HBFG all of which have performed well. I know that you don't make actual portfolio recommendations but would you put more into BRM or into one of the others. Thanks for all your help. Steve

Q: Of the three stocks, which is the most promising, financially healthy and likely to produce the best returns? What time frame should one expect?
