Q: A few days ago I read you dropped ENGH from your Balanced Equity Portfolio but now I cannot find reference to this on your model portfolio update page. Please remind us of which stock replaced ENGH at what weight and when was the switch made.

Thanks for your response,

Steve

Q: Hi, There are a number of stocks in the 5i balanced portfolio that I don't have yet. If I were to buy only three from the following list, which three would you pick for its growth and its value? My portfolio is well diversified so the sector allocation isn't a big concern:

GC, AIF, BYD.UN, CAE, CLS, PKI, SYZ, or GSY, PHO, ECN,

thanks

Q: My portfolio is somewhat light on consumer discretionary companies and I see that you favour this sector at the present time. Could you please explain your current support for the sector and suggest a few Canadian and American companies that you believe are fair value with solid growth prospects for the future. As always, I thank you for your appreciated opinions.

Q: Please share estimated 2017 EV/EBITDA for both GH and GC.

Currently GH seems to be losing its premium valuation as the oil price "head-fake" under $50 stirs fear selling.

My thesis is that the GH share price should recover quickly on light volume when oil shows some life on larger than expected US inventory drawdowns this spring and early summer.

Care to provide your take on this cloudy diamond?

Q: Hi. Since joining your service I have slowly sold my mutual funds and built up the portfolio listed. I have an equal percentage of these listed except M at 16% AVO at 1.6% and SGY at .6 %. I have a mutual fund left at 6% that I would like to sell. For a balanced portfolio today what would you recommend I purchase? 3 - 5 year timeframe. Please deduct appropriate credits for the long question. Thanks.
