Q: Hello 5i team,

Have been sitting on cash. jumped back in on MG and PRW at a good time. Still have U$ funds in my trading account.

I know i persist in asking about US markets and realize your position (at this time) BUT, if you could make a recommendation for growth, I would really appreciate it.

I am looking at BAC at this time.

Thanks for all you do

Q: I have a fairly well diversified portfolio however I could use some more healthcare sector exposure. I have been looking at Cipher, Knight, Concordia and Merus to initiate a small position in my TFSA. I am interested in mainly growth and have expect to hold it 3-5 years at this point in time. From your past responses, I'm guessing you like Concordia the best but it seems fairly expensive to me. Which one would you prefer or is there another I should consider.
Like everyone else, I really appreciate the service you provide.

Q: Hi Peter & 5i Team,

In your answer to Paul on Oct 28 regarding energy stocks, you wrote
"... we think you could silo them into (light,heavy,tar), (Nat Gas), (service/drillers)... We think you could cover all of the areas with 6 names ".

Could you please recommend your favourite 6 energy sector names for a GROWTH investor for the above 3 silos.

Thanks in advance

Q: I am looking at setting up an educational fund for our 1 year old grandson with an initial
5k investment. Are there any tax implications when an RESP is set up by a grandparent and if so, would an investment account in trust be more appropriate?
Either way, which holdings would you suggest I start with.

Thanks for taking the agony out of some these decisions!

Q: I have Canadian oil and gas stock, pipeline, and power company representation. But I can't help thinking solar is an increasing part of the future, and fear I may be holding too much "old technology" investments, even given some of them have a small part of their income in windpower.

What do you think of Solarcity as a way of rounding out my power investments? Would there be an ETF that would capture solar that would be more appropriate?

Q: I'm looking at buying into the small cap biosciences sector with only growth in mind. Two companies I am currently looking at are Merus Labs (MSL) and Knight Therapeutics (GUD). I realize they aren't the same business per se and do have risk, which of these two do you believe is a safer buy longer term.
Anything else I should consider?
Thanks for your help.

thank you,

Q: Hi Team,

Can we get your assessment of Solium, Legacy & BioSyent under current market conditions, debt levels, survivability and prospects over the next couple years. Would legacy be able to withstand a sustained period of low oil prices?

As always, thanks for the hand holding during these difficult times. It made a difference for some of us.

Q: I have some money set aside and would like to take advantage of the pullback and buy 2 industrial stocks and 2 consumer stocks. I already own BGI.UN and DH, and the rest of my portfolio is well balanced in other sectors. I am looking at a long term hold with a view of overall return combining growth and div.
I'm looking at the following stocks in Consumer: SJR.B, BCE, T, PJC.A and ATB.B
And the following in Industrial: WTE, CAE, CNR, MG and AC.B
Could you suggest 2 in each sector (or suggest another stock that may be preferable to my choices) and let me know the basics of the choice?
Thanks so much, Kim
