Q: Hi team,

TOY dropped by more than 7% on Friday, apparently in sympathy with Mattel. Do we know what % of TOY's sales will be affected without ToyRUs? Do we know how much ToyRUs owes TOY,(Actual number or as % of receivables)? Without ToyRUs, what other outlets TOY could use (brick&mortar or online)to sell its product? Are any of these outlets already sell TOY's product? How fast can TOY adjust/respond to these changes? How much Christmas sales are expected to be affected because of this disruption in the company's sale of its product?

Thank you for being the go-to-person for small investors!

Q: Hi,
I have a fairly balanced long term outlook portfolio. Many of the stocks are safe(r) growth stocks with all drips being used. I am looking to deploy a few thousand $$ for a cheaper, riskier, high growth stock. What would your few (3-5) favorites be for this? Please rank them in order of preference and likely potential growth.

Thanks

Q: Hi. I have a overweight position in BCE which I have a 3% profit plus dividends over the last year. I'm looking to sell half the position to try to get a bit more growth in the next year, while still maintaining a good dividend. Can you suggest a couple names in a sector with a bit more momentum. I already have a lot of financials. Was thinking Chartwell?

Q: My partner has $25k to invest in a new TFSA. Was thinking that 5 stocks of $5k each might be a good initial starting point. Do you agree? And could you make suggestions of stocks to add based on a moderately to aggressive approach. Her other investments inside a RRSP are primarily mutual funds or ETF based. Thanks!

Q: My son is returning to studies and investing what he earned as buy and hold for 4-5 years. He put two-thirds in balanced mutual funds with Canada, US and International exposure and now wants to invest the remaining one-third in individual Canadian stocks. He has enough for 4-5 names and already invested in Enbridge. What would you suggest as solid names for the remaining four given his time frame? Thanks.
