Q: Another contract announcement for a million dollars. Does this together with the other recent .75M contract get them out of the penalty box?

Q: I have held these two stocks for several years, primarily for the dividend. The recent 'coup' which replaced the LIQ board, has nothing for the stock. And STB, as you have noted, is mostly doing nothing.Can you suggest two growth stocks that I might consider as replacements? My timeline is up to 10 years. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i team,

I trimmed a couple of stocks recently from gains (thank you for that) and was wondering if you could give me a couple stocks to buy now for a 5-10+ year hold with medium to high risk? Thanks!!

My portfolio is as follows with pretty balanced positions:
ATB, BNS, KXS, CSU, BYD, SIS, PHO, TOY, DOO, SHOP, NFI, CSH.UN, GUD, SLF, PBH, GSY, SJ, RRX, and CRH.

Q: Any guess on hypothetical FTC settlement if SHOP were to face similar claims as Herbalife did with $200M US settlement. Any guess on what impact may have on shares based on relative revenue, and market cap of each? Recently sold SHOP from 4% down to 2% for 3rd time I think, and hate sticking around with shorts, but still more than a double if goes down to Citron's $60US target. Would you sell off 2% or stick around.

Q: In your recent answer regarding 3 growth stocks in a TFSA you chose KXS,PBH,SIS. I wonder if you could elaborate on your thoughts about how you chose these. PKI, as an example seems, to have a good growth profile over the next 2 years and pays a nice dividend. Why not choose it.
I used the numbers provided by RBC Direct Investing below.
Thanks Mike

Q: If you had two or three hundred thousand dollars (not in an RRSP or TFSA), and you wanted to grow it aggressively for a period of about three to five years, how would you invest it, and what kind of a return would you expect? Would your answer be different if it was only fifty thousand? Assume that I don't need any income from the investment, that I have maximal tolerance for risk, and that I've already tried tulips but I was 380 years too late. Thanks.

Q: Hi team, I have a small LIRA with only 40K in it which will not be touched for at least 15 years. The rest my portfolio is balanced so no need to worry about sector allocation, etc. I am looking for some growth stocks that I could buy and leave for this time period. I would prefer more medium risk growth stocks versus higher risk US or CAD. I'm thinking of a 10K allocations. You thoughts?
Thanks

Q: Good morning: I have done quite well with BUS over the past year yet after the last earnings report, e shares have dipped. My thinking is that with the huge order backlog of ~$100 Million, a manufacturing assembly contractor in the USA, it being a potential takeout candidate, I should continue to hold. Would you have an opinion? (I also have a half position in NFI.) Thanks for your excellent advisories.
