Q: Hello Peter and colleagues,
Is VEQT (100% equity) a growth ETF? (where can one find this information) Comparing VEQT with VGRO (80/20 equity/bond mix) can we say that VEQT has more potential for growth in long term (and more risk)? If Is VEQT is not a growth ETF is there a growth ETF that is 100% equity? Would you suggest any better alternative than both VEQT and VGRO?

Q: Good Morning:
In a well diversified portfolio I have above "growth" stocks at 1.5-2.5% weighting in my TFSA. They've all performed the same either slightly down or flat and was wondering if you would add to, hold or sell any of these for long term hold.
Thanks For any advice.

Q: Hi 5i,

I've dumped some underperforming stocks this month to harvest tax losses and so now am sitting on some cash to deploy.

Notwithstanding that I may repurchase a few that I still like after 30 days, I would love to get your "as-of-this-moment" Top 3 Canadian equities that you would throw some money at if it fell into your lap.

Criteria would be:

1. Must be Canadian
2. Sector is irrelevant - assume its a small part of a wider, well-balanced portfolio.
3. Dividends not relevant
4. Held in a cash account
5. 3-5 year hold

Thanks!

Q: Hi,

I'm looking to start investing a lump sum over the next 12 months or so. What list of Canadian stocks would you recommend at current levels? Do you have 5-7 names that you find particularly attractive right now. Looking for a mix of growth and income with not too much risk.

Thanks,
Jason
