Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I don't like sitting on cash and was wondering if we can expect an addition to your growth portfolio this month to utilize the cash you (and I) have from dropping BOS?
Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi, Can you please provide the short position in Shopify on US and CDN exchanges and if there has been a change recently. It was mentioned on another board that there seems to be a large increase in "puts" buying, last week. Thanks
Q: with recent preferred share activity is there a reasonable possibility ECN will enter into an acqusition before year end . Any way they would issue dilutive equity to do so?
Q: Peter, I am having my RRSP transferred to a self directed account and will be acquiring all the stocks in your Balanced Portfolio. Having read your recent Q&A on this topic, I will start with 23 positions at 4% each. That leaves me with 8% cash. I prefer to be fully invested and think it makes sense to add 4% GUD for the Health sector and I am thinking of SH, TNC or perhaps a S&P 500 ETF for the remainder. I have a long time frame.
Thank you, Stephen

Q: Hello, this is to clarify an answer to a question asked by Elise on Evertz Technologies. You mention a special dividend of $1.10 per share declared by the company. Since I hold 500 shares of ET, does this mean I will receive a special dividend of $550 in December? Will that be on top of the regular quarterly dividend? Regards, Gervais

Q: Hi, we have Shopify and Spin Master in most accounts in the family.
Shopify has been quite volatile, in line with FANG and other technology stocks, but its swings are much higher than its peers. Recently it traded as low as $50.84 ( after a week of Trump win)and within a week as high as $60.50. Is it worth adding at current level $52?
Spin Master had an incredible run to $39.50. With recent pullback, is it prudent to add at $34-$35 level?
Thank you.

Q: Is there any explanation as to their recent 10% drop in share prices. Last quarter was good, something new come up? Is this a buying opportunity to increase my shares in a diversified portfolio?
Q: I've read that BCE is overvalued and set for a decline by Motley Fool (a couple of times now). Do you think there is anything to this, or would you considered it a buy with the recent pullback?
Thanks,

Q: Thanks for your earlier response regarding the balanced portfolio and MX. I did have one other question about dividing up names across different account types. I will be investing a decent sized amount of new money into my registered and non registered accounts which will me to hold all 23 names of the BE portfolio but I would like advice on how the names should be split up for best performance. I will be able to hold 9 TFSA, 8 RRSP, 6 CAD Cash (Non-registered). How would you suggest splitting up the BE Portfolio across the different account types? Thanks again for your help!
Q: SHOP dropped again today, now below 40 day SMA.

Thanks!

Q: I was looking up the ROE for OTC as of Sept 30, 2016. My first look was in Yahoo Finance where the ROE is given as 49.3% ttm (trailing 12 months). Sounded high, so I checked Reuters Investment Profile via my BNS site, for the same date, where the number shown is 14.94 MRI ( Most Recent Interim). HUGE DIFFERENCE!!! What am I to believe?
Can you please explain how this could happen...give me your opinion of the quality of YF data...and advise the best source for 3 yr avg ROE data. (Sure be nice if I could find it here)
Thank you.
Brian

Q: Hi Peter and staff
Stock hasn't done well since you added it (as long team hold I realize) - thesis still intact and if my weighting is low and have long term view any harm in averaging down?
Thanks for all you do

Q: I note that you are selling DH from the 5i income portfolio. Unfortunately I hold DH in my TFSA so cannot claim Capital Loss. In this case, would it be better to hang on for a bit?
Q: Would you choose OTC or CSU today for growth over the next 2-3 years?
