Q: I realize these are different companies and somewhat hard to compare. I am down 24% on UNS, and since I am looking for growth would you hold or switch to SJ? Is there anything else that you would recommend irrespective of risk/industry?

Q: Hi!
I'm concerned about the potential for a looming recession in the context of increasing interest rates, especially in the US. As a way to hedge against increasing interest rates and to protect against downside risk, I was wondering if you could recommend some high growth, high dividend paying stocks, US or Canada?
Thanks!

Q: My portfolio is weak in the medical/healthcare space. I have CSH/SIA (full position when combined), NVO (US, 1/2 position), SIS ( 1/2 position) and GUD (1/4 position). I would like to increase exposure in the sector by the equivalent of about 2 positions. Would you recommend I add to existing stocks or are there others you think I should consider (either Cdn or US is fine for this sector)?

My situation: Retiring in about 2 years and living off investment income. Fortunately we have enough savings that unless I am either foolish or really unlucky, I expect to be "OK".

Thanks for your help. I am doing much better with returns since I started my subscription to your service.

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
Unless i am mistaken, Savaria missed the revenue numbers but did well on EPS. What do you think about the results. I was thinking of adding to the position to 5% as the trend still looks good for the company and the numbers overall were good.Any idea why Andrew Peller continues to surge and why Covalon and Photon Control continue to go lower? I know you have answered on the COV and PHO but they just keep getting pounded. Thanks very much.

Q: Hi 5i,
I have aprox. 20k in cash in my RRSP. I am trying to decide in what to invest it in. I am turning 37 years old this year. Should I be leaning towards a growth portfolio like I am doing with my TFSA?

What would be your top 5 stocks you would start your RRSP US or CDN with $20k cash?

I also have aprox $160k in a LIRA right now. How should i go about investing this money? Can you recomend me specific stocks or ETF's?

Thanks so much for your insight.

Q: Hi Peter and company,

I have a small TFSA ($9,000 invested in: SLF, AQN, ABT, PHO & PEO). Will be adding $20,000 within the next couple of months and $10,000 in each of the next 3 years, which will take me to age 65, which is when I expect to retire. I will have a comfortable pension when I retire.

Would appreciate your suggestions on where to deploy the $20,000.

Thank you.

Larry
