Q: Hi,

Quick thoughts on these companies. I'm doing some clean up and these positions are under 1% in my portfolio. Which ones would you continue to hold, add to or just sell? Can you please rank. I have a diversified portfolio. Thanks!

Q: I want to do a home renovation project and need some cash. Could you rank these stocks in order of the ones you would sell first to last in my position. Cineplex, Couche Tard, North West, MTY, Power Financial, Enghouse and Calian. I probably only need three names to raise what I need.

Q: Been watching this for a while and more interested now after the drop. However, the largest reason for me not buying is that they seem to be largely focused on the food courts in shopping malls and I'm concerned about mall traffic in general, but the US specifically.

Are you able to tell me:
1. How dependant they are on malls in both the US and Canada (perhaps what % of their operations or revenue come from these), and;
2. How the Papa John's acquisition diversivies them from these malls (or not), and;
3. Is my concern reasonable or am I just being silly.

Thx.

Q: Hello Peter, Ryan and Team,

I have been plucking the weeds and watering the flowers. These three are my biggest losers in a taxable account down between 20% to 30% and haven't been rallying as the others. Can you make the case for both buying and selling each of these? Thank you,

Wes

Q: For the most part off the top of your head, can you provide a list of highly regarded Canadian companies with oversized eps growth expected from 2018 to 2019.

A few to get us started, in my opinion, include...
WSP - 2018 eps = $3.11; 2019 eps = $3.79; 22% eps growth
PBH - 2018 eps = $4.08; 2019 eps = $5.34; 31% eps growth
PKI - 2018 eps = $1.56; 2019 eps = $2.69; 72% eps growth
KXS - 2018 eps = $0.99; 2019 eps = $1.34; 34% eps growth

Thanks.

John
