Q: Hello team,
I have 7% gain on my holdings of MOS(+ US$ gain). Does it make sense to sell it and buy AGU or POT in Canadian $ ?
Thank you always!

Q: I know that you like Stantec as a good, solid performer. I own both Stantec and WSP Global, 4% each. My other holding in industrials is CNR, at 8%. (it's grown nicely and am loathe to part with it yet.) My question is: how do you think Industrials will perform in this environment. Seems like Stantec has been taking a rest for a while. I was thinking of switching Stantec for CGI group, which would increase my holdings in Technology to about 19%. I'm looking for a good company with a bit more "ooomph" in it right now, regardless of sector, but CGI's growth appeals to me. Your comments are always valued.

Q: Hello Peter and the 5i Team,

My wife's TFSA consists of AP.UN, DH, and KBL. There's also a small amount of CDZ where accumulated cash is deposited. Both AP.UN and DH are enrolled in DRIP's. For this year's contribution, we are considering either CXI or DHX.B. Given that DHX Media pays a small dividend and has a DRIP that gives a 3% discount, but CXI 'might' have higher growth (with no dividend) which stock would you think would be the best for this year?

Q: BCE and BAM have been going up lately. I am up quite a bit on both. The PE of BCE is quite high. Do you think it is time to trim it and pick it up when it goes down or use the proceeds to buy Rogers? What would your view be on Brookfield Asset Management. Thanks very much.

Q: Hi Team
Could you recommend two good growth companies, suitable to a TFSA, that will benefit from the weak loonie and a recovering U.S. economy.

Thank You

Q: Hi,
Just a question on Chesswood in light of the new CDN interest rate cuts-
Chesswood reports in CDN though it does much business in the US, and
it is interest rate sensitive, with a high dividend- with all of these now positive factors in mind, why is the stock still struggling? Seems like a no brainer purchase.
Thanks for your input.

Q: I have recently opened a TFSA for my girlfriend that I will be managing. I have it fully funded roughly $35,000 all in cash. I would like to build a high growth portfolio. We are in our mid 20's so risk and timeline are not an issue. Just wondering if you could give me a list of 5 names that you would start out with. Thanks
