Q: I would like to buy a 5% position in one of these for a one year hold. I am looking for growth mainly, but also want to take risk into account. Which one would you suggest and why? Thank you for your help. Ian

Q: I had been waiting for Stantec's quarterly numbers to see if they had finally turned things around. It turns out they were released last week and given there was little fanfare and that the stock price did not pop, I assume the results were nothing special. Given the solid numbers WSP just announced, is it time to throw in the towel on STN and move over to WSP or do you see upward movement for STN?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I'm considering cutting a loser to invest in something new that has some growth. SIS, PBH, and TOY have been poor performers for me for a while now and have been dragging down my returns. If I thought the issues were temporary for all 3 of them I would hold and wait it out but I've found each of them has been less than impressive. SIS with the equity raises and mgmt that I'm losing faith in, PBH with a million excuses as to why each quarter has negative surprises (weather, swine flu, minimum wage,etc), and TOY with disappointing numbers that seem to be getting worse with no real catalyst to get back to growth (Toysrus overhang, diminishing sales in their top sellers that are getting stale, no replacement "home run" product to turn things around. These 3 seem to no longer be growth stocks, do you think I should cut any of the three or give them some more time?

Q: I know that you like Chartwell, but I am not certain why your strong endorsement.. Looking at the share price performance the shares currently sell at the same price as 3 years ago; so other than the dividend there has been no growth over the past 3 years. Not looking for a lot but some small token growth would be nice to instill some confidence in the company's management team. I own the shares, have done so for some time, but am now thinking that there are better income opportunities out there. Can you provide me with some rationale for not parting with my shares in Chartwell?
