Q: In early Dec you advised waiting to see what the new year brought for this stock. Seven weeks later it is down over 4% today alone, barely above its 52-week low with an RSI is 12 on low volume. Is this a good entry point for 2+ year hold or would you suggest continuing to wait. I would only purchase 1/2 position or less to start and $6.45 is tempting.

Q: Peter, any idea what causes the sell-off? Is the company impacted negatively by low oil? It's very oversold now. Good time to buy? Thanks in advance.

Q: Many small tech stocks such as Prometics (PLI), Patient Home Monitoring (PHM), CRH Medical (CRH), etc. and large ones such as Concordia (CXR) and Constellation (CSU) have tripled, quadrupled and more! These stocks either keep going up or flatline for a period. It's hard to buy a stock that has increased 400-500% within the last 12-18 months.
I own small positions in the first three and want to add some positions. I don't mind risk if the rewards can be so great.
Can you rate PHM, PLI and CRH and suggest any new small tech ones that have such magnificent potential?
Thank you.

Q: Hi Guys looking for some ideas for my RRSP and TFSA contributions for the year. Obviously without knowing my other holdings this is a little more difficult exercise for you, looking for max growth, dividend not required and 20 years until retirement. Based on the discussion from 5i I'm considering CXI, DHX and/or QST. Any thoughts? Thank-you.

Q: Happy New Year Team!!
I am looking at putting together a new TFSA portfolio of ETFs with the following considerations:
-$36500 to invest.
-time horizon 10 years +.
-target 10% growth per year.
-goal of a diversified mix with exposure in and outside of Canada.

Question: Which ETF's in which categories would you recommend? (ie. Canadian, US, International, Sectors, Bonds, Dividends, etc.)
Thank you, I look forward to your reply.

Q: I've been searching for relatively cheap canadian pharma stocks that have postive cashflow and earnings growth. I recently came across CRH Medical, a recent recommendation of J.Donville. After accounting for the recent aquisition (trailing earning, some dilution, and debt), to me, it still appears quite cheap relative to the sector. I realize there is some execution risk, and now a fair bit of debt, but it seems reasonable. How do you assess this company and compare it to other small/growthy names in the sector? I currently have a half position in CRH and I am thinking about doubling down. I also own PHM and CPH in the sector but they don't look as cheap anymore. Thanks.

Q: Would you please give me a quick rating for the following companies: Concordia (CXR), DH Corp (DH), Boyd Fund (BYD.UN) and CGI Group (GIB.A) -- in the A, B, C rating that 5I does. I realize a full analysis is impossible, but just wondered in a "wish list" of descending companies, which would you choose for a post-Christmas present to yourself, for growth in 2015? Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
Hope you had a Merry Christmas and wish you a Happy New Year.
12% of my portfolio is in Health/Pharma which comprises CCT, CPH, CXR, GUD, RX and XHC; is there a point to adding CRH which is similar to RX?
Thanks,
Tony
