Q: If you were to pick quality compounders in the small cap space (US or Canada) like 3 mentioned, can you suggest a couple of good ones. I generally prefer long term horizon. Thanks. Shyam

Q: Hello Peter,
If i wanted to buy an ETF in India, which one would i be better off with? or am I better to put equal amounts.. Also, I was hoping topicus would replicate csu performance over long term ( i know it has not been in existence for very long but i am under water on topicus). Should i just forget TOI, and LMN, and stick to csu. Much appreciated.

Q: I have seen several analysts commenting recently on how undervalued small cap stocks are compared to larger cap stocks. Some saying we are at the cheapest levels they have ever seen for small caps. If you were to put together a portfolio of 10-12 Canadian small cap stocks intending to benefit from a return to more typical valuations, which stocks would you include? Not thinking about highest risk types, like early phase biotech, exploration stage mining companies, but rather, for high quality, profitable, growing businesses.

Q: Hello, Lumine shares have rallied almost 20%, since TD initiated coverage on Nov 14, with a BUY rating and $28 price target. Based on its present valuation and growth prospects (5-10 years), vis-a-vis, CSU/TOI, would you be comfortable increasing current position size of 1.75%, even after the run up ? Or would you suggest to add to 3.50% TOI weight ? ( CSU, already being a large weight ). Thank You

Q: Your are in a contest with "Joe" to pick the best 10 stock portfolio over the next 5 years. Best total return wins. Must have 2 Canadian stocks from each of these categories : technology, energy, consumer, industrial, and small cap (max $1 billion Cdn market cap to qualify as small cap). Since you are pros, Joe got to go first. He picked SHOP and CSU in tech, SU and TOU in energy, ATD.B and QSR in consumer, BN and WSP in industrial and WELL and CTS in small cap (he's a 5i reader, so he knew to pick several of your best ideas). What 10 stocks are you going to select to try to beat him?
