Q: Hi Peter and 5i,
Like the momentum of both companies. Like the strong net cash position of TIH.
Which one would you pick of the 2 for the potential highest return over the next 5 years?
Is it FTT based on 5i starting a new position in your Balanced Portfolio? Or is it a coin toss?

Q: Hi, I don’t think I worded my recent question about the energy/mining sector very well. I was looking for some ancillary type company suggestions, like the company that supplies the sand for fracking or provides well services or repairs or leases the mining equipment or is going to build the roads to remote mines…that kind of thing. I guess anything that might be on your radar or comes to mind as an opportunity in that space broadly.

Q: I hold RBA in my TFSA and have done well. TIH is performing better over the past 6 months. Over 5 and 10 years performance of the stocks is even. I notice you like TIH and would you switch from RBA to TIH for a 3 year hold. I am looking for steady /conservative growth and not concerned about a dividend. Thank you

Q: I am constructing a dividend growth portfolio with the intention of holding all positions for the longterm, holding the following equities in equal weight (likely only one of MRU or L - or should I include both?), with 80% of the portfolio consisting of these individual equities and 20% in the ETF VGG.

Would there be any in this list you would not include, and are there other Canadian equities you would consider for this list? Is this the appropriate number of positions for such a portfolio. Please deduct multiple credits as required, thank you.

Q: You just published an excellent article by Michael Huynh on Canadian Companies that issue monthly dividends under certain criteria. Is there any chance you have the same criteria used on Canadian companies that issue quarterly dividends with the same criteria. With staggered investments I don't need to be that focused on monthly issuers.

Q: My son (23) has 9000$ to invest in his first TFSA (he already has a FHSA account that is maxed out). He wants to open a TFSA investing account. Do you have a recommendation for how he breaks up the 9000.00 (ie. 3 stocks)? Are there any sectors that he should focus on at first? Do any particular stocks jump out at you as suitable for this kind or foray into the market?

Thanks in advance
Sue
