Q: I would be interested in your views on this company. The ceo is Rob Bakshi, the founder of Silent Witness. I was a SW shareholder in the early days and did well with that one. How much weight do you give to the ceo who has a track record of success?

Q: Good Afternoon

Could you please comment on Fiera a Capital. I know that you have been positive on the name before but I have held it for close to 2 years and it has not really moved at all. Would you continue to hold or could you suggest something with a little more growth potential
Thank you

Q: I have a full position in AVO, BCI, CXI, DHX, EFN, LMP, PHM, PLI and XTC. Overweight in IWO and half positions in CDV and GXI.
I am wondering which growth stock I should add next, or maybe just increase my CDV and GXI holdings.
This would be on margin borrowing and I am okay with leveraged investment at this point in time. While I understand these are meant for 3-5 year holdings, perhaps your suggestion could factor in a 1-3 year period as an additional variable.
I would appreciate your suggestion as well as your opinion on leveraged investing for the growth portfolio.
Thanks

Q: Hi,

I have added nearly all the equities in the Growth Portfolio (excluding financials and IWO) to my holdings with percentages ranging from 1% (SCR, QHR) to about 4% (DRT, XTC). I also have CHR, ET, CLR, ESP, KLS, SIS, RZZ, THO, MTSN, SYZ, CPH, RX and WEF among other holdings in my entire portfolio which 5i has had a favorable view in the recent months. My question is whether this portfolio will be too risky in a market correction as I believe more in Small Cap growth than large caps. Plus one or two takeovers will boost this portfolio a lot. What do you think would the right strategy here. Thanks

Q: For info via seeking alpha:
Uranium names are showing notable strength today following yesterday's ruling in Japan that will allow the Sendai nuclear plant to reopen, which would be the first plant to be reopened since the Fukushima disaster: CCJ +6.8%, DNN +5.6%, LEU +10.3%, URRE +4.5%, UEC +5%, URZ +2.6%, URG +1%, UUUU +1.7%.
The news is positive for the nuclear industry to the extent that authorities in Japan have not given up on the energy source despite Fukushima.
A MarketWatch article paints a bright picture of the nuclear industry, with uranium prices rising ~35% since last summer and improving public opinion; "China and India believe that the upside from the clean energy from nuclear far outweighs the downside risks of sticking to dirty coal,” says GoldStockTrades.com editorJeb Handwerger.
Last week, CCJ signed a deal with India to provide 7.1M lbs. of uranium concentrate over the next five years.

Q: I am lacking a bit in consumer staples/discretionary stocks in my portfolio. Can you recommend a mix that are reasonably valued and have a good outlook? Dirtt environmental is really looking good to me but I feel as if I would be chasing at this point.
Keep up the great job guys.

Q: For a portfolio that is getting larger, you have mentioned increasing positions in large-cap names to provide some stability. What are your favourite names in this space? Thanks, Janet

Q: Hi Peter & team, Is GIL good to buy today? And what about FSV....is it a good idea before the split that apparently will occur June 1?
Thank you!

Q: http://www.tfsa.gc.ca/

Looks like it will be retroactive if passed.

Q: I just read on line (Google when can the additional money be put into tfsa) the cra will not penalize anyone who makes a contribution as of today of $4500. Even though it has not been approved by parliament the cra considers it approved as of budget date yesterday. So I plan on adding $4500 today.

Q: Hi,i'am looking for your two or three top picks stocks, that pay monthly dividends and which you consider safe for longterm hold 5yrs plus. thanks.

Q: Hello,

I have PHM for a year now and did very well. I was wondering if it's a good trade to sell some and buy Convalo or to buy more PHM or maybe buy more of both?

The health care sector is super hot now, I would say similar with energy one year ago. How would one "see" if the sentiment changes and not be caught overloaded?

Thanks

Q: Please comment on QHR results out this morning. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
While it may be a bit premature, my question is: at what point can we use the increased TFSA limit? I have tried looking for this information but haven't found anything concrete to indicate exactly when it is safe to make the additional contribution. As we know, there is a consequence for over-contributing and the term "immediately" used in the budget might not really mean "immediately" from a practical point of view. Can you or the members offer any clarification?
Thanks!!
Cheers,
Mike
