Q: Hi Guys,

I am thinking about adding to my position in Spin Master. Stock is is dropping a little, with slightly higher volume/erratic trading. I agree with Ryan's comments on the digitization of toys, and they have some valuable brands making good traction, etc. Can you comment on the trading, the stock dropping, you outlook for a target price, etc. Thank you.

Q: My daughter has $15K she will be putting into her TFSA with another $1500 per month following (at least, could be up to $2500). She has another $11000 that currently is with a fund manager that is a mutual fund that we will not touch. She will be using this a down payment for her first home in 14-18 months. She is OK with a little aggression as she is aware of the volatility. Are there some ETF's, stocks or other that may be suitable for some growth over that short time period?

Q: I have an "overweight" position in this stock (not overly so, perhaps 8%). Thank you, it has done very well. However, though I appreciate one should not make much of one days price action, I did note quite a volume spike on todays sell off. I also have noted that not just one but a number of insiders have been selling over the last month or so. Certainly, the gains could justify some of that, but for one holding a relatively large position these indicators are troublesome. Given that my gains have been substantial, I am wondering if trimming, somewhat in accordance with the insider selling, may be appropriate.
I do note that, generally, "analysts" have been increasing target prices on this company which doesn't seem to "go to market". Makes me wonder if "something" is in the works?
Anyway, I would certainly appreciate your considered opinion on what is going on with this one and whether a trimming, rather than just letting winners run, may be appropriate here.
Thanks as always.

Q: I have held DIS for about 3 years and have a gain of 30% but it has not done much lately and seems to be range bound and having problems in its ESPN division. I'm thinking of switching to QQC to get some exposure to US Tech and hopefully more growth. What is your opinion of this move?

Q: Hi 5i super team!! I have a hypothetical question...I am a dividend investor. I do not subscribe to automatic dividend reinvestment, rather, I collect the cash and then selectively reinvest the cash in the stock that seems to have the best value. Suppose I own stocks A B C D E...all are overvalued except C which is a bank. Even though, the price of the bank is at the higher end of its 52 week range, and even though the stock potentially faces future head winds, do I keep reinvesting the dividend cash into this stock? If it holds a higher than7% presence in the portfolio at what point do I stop reinvesting the dividends into it and perhaps selecting to invest in the next best valued on the list? I am looking for a rule of thumb here if there is one. Hope you have a great weekend! I hear it is going to be a hot one 😎😎😎

Q: Hi,

Finally opened a TFSA 6 months ago. Contributed $10K so far and expect to be contributing $1,000 - 1,500 per month for the indeterminate future.

Currently hold AQN (28%), MFC (24%), GUD (10%), PHO (7%), PEO (6%) and cash (25%). Looking at the following to use up the cash: ENB, SYZ, ITC, OTEX, SIS. I am open to any of your recommendations. Should I wait a couple of months to accumulate more cash?

Thanks.
