Q: You are in a stock picking contest against a fellow investor named Joe. The contest is to pick 10 Canadian stocks that you must hold for 5 years. No trading. The winner will be the portfolio that has the highest total return including dividends over the 5 year period. Joe is somewhat conservative, so he likes to stick with large companies. He has selected ATD.B, BAM.A, CNR, CSU, RY, SHOP, SLF, T, TD, WSP as his 10 stock portfolio. What 10 Canadian stocks would you select to try to win the contest?

Q: I'm reviewing KXS today as it is a part of my portfolio. The feeling I've had in the last year, and stronger after looking today, is that KXS is a moderate revenue grower (up to 20% year over year recently and forecasted), but still valued comparible to high-fliers growing at 50+%. Based on the forecasted revenue growth, is the 20x sales multiple justified? It seems like a solid company and no debt issues, so this is simply a question on valuation. PEG is also very high. What am I missing, given that you know the company better than I, and the market right now is obviously seeing value that I'm not. I'd like to make a decision on this one before the next earnings come out in August.

Q: Good afternoon,

Does it make sense to add BEP and BIP if I already own BAM?

I'd be buying BEP to upgrade over my current PIF holding, and BIP seems interesting for a variety of reasons, just wondered if you think I'm covered with these essentially already with BAM.A? Thanks.

Q: These units are down > 60% today after an announcement that the company is doing a debt exchange and suspending cash distributions on preferred shares. I find this very surprising as the units have been steadily going up and were trading at above par prior to the announcement. Doesn't the market typically anticipate such things (i.e. if there was any reason to believe the distribution would be cut or suspended, the units would not be trading anywhere close to par). Any thoughts on this, especially given that Brookfield owns the common shares and the debt but not the preferred? Where does that leave preferred unit holders? Would it be prudent to simply take my loss and exit the position? Thanks.

Q: I am looking for exposure to REITs for some capital appreciation but primarily for income either through individual REITs or ETFs. Can you recommend some individual REITs and ETFs. Is this a good time to be buying REITs instead of bonds for income?
