Q: 1) we should have 2 reports, income and growth with their individual ratings. (BEP.UN may be an A for income and C for growth). Then the members can decide which stocks to buy for their portfolios.
2) Can you suggest 4 growth stocks for our TFSA in January. 2 for regular growth and 2, 2 baggers. That would be wonderful.

Thank you for all your advice, keep up the EXCELLENT work and have a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

Q: For a TFSA of $35 000 with Amaya(AYA)representing 75% and CGI (GIB.A) 25%, where would you advise putting an additional contribution of $5 500 ? Both are good companies. Would adding to these companies make any sense, or is there enough there, and some diversification would be advisable ? What about putting this additional contribution in GIB.A ? Thank you kindly for your advice.

Q: An early happy new year to all at 5i. I would like to echo Tim's request (29 Dec). We need a portfolio suitable for the retired or what is usually termed the "widow-and-ophan" class of investers.

Q: Peter and Team,

I'd like to wish you all a happy new year, first off. Second, I have owned Tourmaline for a while and had been writing covered calls on the name. I went a number of months without getting called away but finally did in December. It was almost a 5% weighting for me. I also currently own PPY (currently 3.0% of the portfolio) and PEY (Currently 3.7% of the portfolio) in the Natural Gas Sector.

My question is, with the proceeds from TOU should I be trying to get back into TOU? Are there better or other names that I should look at in the sector? Should I put the cash made into one of the names I already have?

Thanks for your thoughts!

Q: ABEV (ADR)
Happy Holiday's.
I had been following Ambev for the past year and it traded in the high $30-$40 range and paid a dividend. In November 2013 it disappeared off my watch lists and I assumed it had not been trading anymore and could not find any info about what happened to it. I noticed that it has recently started trading again under the new symbol ABEV and it is in $7 range and I think no dividend. I can't find any real info about it. It is still near it's 52 week low. Do you have any insight on what happened or financial info? Would you rate it as a buy? High/med/low risk? Brazil has world cup this spring and Olympic's 2016. Thank you,
Kerri
