Q: I am thinking of selling these three companies currently held in a growth portfolio to make way for some higher growth tech names. I do have the cash in my RRSP and could buy these stocks back in that portfolio but wonder if you have any better suggestions? I am particularly worried about CCL.B it has not held up to expectations.

Governments are expected to announce some impressive infrastructure projects in the near future to provide much-needed stimulus to the economy. You can also recommend other construction and engineering firms. Thank you.

Q: Have 2.3% in ARE ,2.4 In TFII. Thing of selling ARE at a loss and adding to TFII purchased @ $28.42 . ARE has. Slightly higher dividend . I consider TFII a better growth stock than ARE.
TFII has had a sharp drop from $48 . I consider throwing out the baby with the bath water. Strong need for transport and lower gas prices adds to an incentive to buy.
I’m I on track?

Q: Any thoughts on ARE's recent acquisition of Voltage Power. I see that ARE has been in the "middle of the pack" in your Q&A. Neither at the top nor at the bottom. Can you foresee it reaching 21 $ again as they seem to be slowly and steadily acquiring companies that give them good growth potential.
Thanks in advance.
