Q: Hi Team,
I own Shopify and Knight as my two main growth holdings. SHOP has blown the doors off and I am willing to be patient with GUD. As a possible re-balancing move, I am considering trimming SHOP and looking for a third growth company. I know you've suggested several alternatives in the Q&A before, but I am looking for a similarly high-quality selection. I already own OTEX and want to avoid the energy sector. Can you please name the top three Canadian growth stocks that you would suggest for further consideration as long-term holds that are not on the Venture exchange? Perhaps Kinaxis as one? Many thanks, Michael

Q: Hi. I have a question about Altagas. When the company converts the receipts to common shares next year, investors will only benefit if ALA is higher than what a person paid for ALA.R. Recently, I found the common share price has been drifting lower and lower than the receipt. At this point, what's the benefit of buying ALA.R? Currently, ALA common shares receive a higher dividend %. I'm thinking to buy ALA or ALA.R for income. Which one should I choose, or are there any others that you would recommend? Thanks for your guidance. Have a great day.

Q: Hi Peter: I currently hold ZWH in my rrsp and as it is the only U.S. exposure that I have, am wondering what you else you would suggest as a compliment to it. ZWH currently is 6 % of my overall portfolio. I am looking for something of a moderate risk to hold for 3-5 years or longer.

Thanks, David

Q: Good Morning: In my non-registered account I hold a number of equities on the Cdn. side of the portfolio that pay their dividends in USD. I am thinking about moving some or all of these over to the US side as a means of capturing some USD income. I am not particularly concerned about currency impact believing that over the long term the ups and downs will average out given the current vs historic USD/CAD relationship. My question here is simply whether or not there is some aspect of this move that I have not considered -- e.g. tax implications, buy/sell issues, etc. As always, thanks for your opinion.
