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: Hello Peter, I have cash in my TFSA to invest. In addition to a diversified RRSP, my TFSA already has significant holdings in Google, Winpak, ZWB and the Agellan REIT (which have all done very well over the past few years).
Can you please suggest three 'growthier' ideas for new additions to the TFSA. I can accept a fair degree of risk, but not really interested in "long shots". (My gambling instinct was wrung out of me after my foray into Guestlogix - just a bad memory at this point). Thank you!

Q: you recently answered a question, where you said BAM.A offered greater potential return,over 10 years, than the BIP.UN and BEP.un.

If BAM.A is the parent, how is this possible?

If BEP.un hits it out of the park and BIP.Un does not then the returns of BIP.un will act as an anchor on BAM.A. And if BIP.UN hits it out of the park, then the returns on BEP.UN will act as an anchor on BAM.A.

Q: I have owned Canaccord Genuity for several years. On July 4th, 2017, CF announced a (SPAC)deal. This deal appears to create an opportunity to purchase shares in a yet to be found company. Can you explain how CF is going to make money in this deal? Is this an IPO of shares when an acquisition is found? Will CF continue to hold the majority of the shares in the new acquisition?
This deal seem complex to a simple investor like me. Can you help? Is this a good deal for CF?

Cheers,
David

Q: Looking through Visa financial statements for last few years and noticed that they had a 1.5 billion extra tax expense for Q316. It was explained as a non reccuring, non cash and related to visa Europe acquisition. So I calculated the p/e without that 1.5b non cash expense and got 31x, which seems much more reasonable than 39x. Is my assumption correct? And do you consider V better investment long term than MA or SQ(which I am might go half position on)?
