Q: I recently subscribed to 5i, the ETF update and the Canadian Money Saver Magazine. I have been learning lots and you guys do great work!

I just finished university and am looking towards building my first portfolio. I have been comparing the various models portfolios from 5iResearch, the Canadian Money Saver Magazine Model ETF portfolio, and Couch Potato. I have an understanding about the goals and strategy behind all the model portfolios except for the CMS Model ETF portfolio. Similar to how you break down the model portfolios on 5i, can you provide an overview of what the CMS model ETF portfolio investment strategy, investment suitability/risk tolerance, and targeted annualized returns are.

Thanks for the great service you provide! Look forward to being a long time member!

Q: I am tempted to add to my position in Sangoma Technologie prior to Company reporting their quarterly results later this month because I think the market will start taking more notice of this Company given that its revenue run rate is climbing over $25 million and its EBITDA margins (10.5% last quarter) are now growing too. Based on the Company's new guidance for Fiscal 2018 the stock trades less than 1 times sales with profits on the rise and a good balance sheet. What are your thoughts and is this Company on the cusp to be discovered by more investors since the new management re positioned the Company over the last several years?

Q: I am a 30yr old mostly growth investor. I realize after Stantec's latest earnings you are basically endorsing a hold, but i am curious as i hold WSP(5%)and STN(4%) with a 16% Industrial weighting, would you let the name go. I am fine holding but i'm just not sure i am adding anything by keeping it at this point. Second, if you let it go which option would you choose: Add to PUR making it a full position, add to BAD making it a full position, or add to ZZZ making it a full position. Portfolio is mostly diversified across all sectors.

Q: Hi, I would not touch the common stock after the announcement about Air Canada but I see that the company has a bond maturing in May 2019 so about 1 year before the air canada contract expires. It currently trades at 95$. Before the announcement they traded at a premium, around 103$. Is this a good opportunity or am I missing something ? Thanks!!
