Q: I am looking to add a growth-oriented stock to a pretty conservative bluechip portfolio, with investments in financials, energy/resources, telecommunications, drug/healthcare and transportation - mostly in Canada. I believe I could benefit from more growth-oriented stocks in other sectors and have recently acquired small positions in GC and TSGI. What growth-oriented stocks would you take right now, keeping in mind that I am a DIY newbee with only a modest ability to read statements and analyze risk

Q: I am a growth investor with an 8 to 10 year timeline. Regardless of sector weightings, in the current market would you either start a new half position in Parkland Fuel OR top up to from a 4% to a full 5% weighting in Kinaxis, Savaria Spin Master and Premium Brands? Thanks in advance, Greg.

Q: In your Aug /17 report on Savaria you indicated it was at 22 times forward earnings and at it's most oversold in 5 years. At 80 cents (2019 earnings est.) the p/e would be under 21 . Would the same logic apply now? Is this a good entry point and are you still sanguine about the growth story?
Your considered opinion is appreciated.

Q: Are there fundamental or other reasons why this stock has lost about 20% of its value in the past 5 weeks? Does NAFTA II negatively impact it? I notice the CEO is also president and chairman. Does this pose a risk at this stage, or would do so if the firm got a lot bigger?
I enjoyed the seminar last week. Refreshing !

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Staff,
Even though I 'thought' I had elected to receive some BIP shares with the sale of ECI, I notice today that all of my ECI shares were sold. Thanks again to 5i.:)
ECI was held in my TFSA, and my only Industrial holdings in this account are SIS and TFII. If I want to stay in the same sector, would you suggest deploying the new cash by adding to either or both stocks, or investing in a new Industrial stock or even an ETF like ZIN? Thanks as always for your valued advice.

Q: I have had for years. If I sell, can you recommend a replacement? Thoughts?
Read Answer Asked by Danny-boy on September 28, 2018
Q: In the answer to question asked by Richard you state that the 2019 EPS for SIS 2019 is 83 cents.
The company recently announced an estimate of $60M earnings for 2019 with less tha $50M shares outstanding, which is obviously a higher EPS than your est. Is this because the company is referring to EBITDA and you are referring to net earnings?
When we are shown the forward EPS on Morningstar etc..., are they referring to EBITDA or net earnings? Is it really only net earnings that matter? Please explain.
Thanks
John
