I would like to get your opinion on the following healthcare and industrial stocks I am planning to buy in equal amounts. Would you recommend any other stocks for long term investments under my registered accounts.
With the progress HCG has made over the last few quarters, I'm thinking of adding to my shares. What % of a portfolio do you think is appropriate for the company. I'm working on accumulating full positions (4%) in each of TD, BNS, and MFC.
Q: Hi Peter/Ryan
I am in the dog house on listed stocks in my registered accounts (RRSP/TFSA/RESP). For TOY and TSGI , I will wait for your review in Q&A section. As part of cleaning up portfolio would you keep these or if not then replace with which stocks? Money requirement and risk is not an issue.
Q: In the conference call the guidance discussed was $2.13-2.68 (although someonelse suggested $2.16-2.71). The analyst estimate from your website shows $2.88 for 2018 and an estimate of $3.24 90 days ago. This seems to be a considerable downward trend although management seemed quite upbeat and insisted there are no structural changes to account for the weakness. Given this context I have two questions. Are there other metrics to suggest management is executing well? Are you comfortable with the potential such that you would take a new position at this price or would you wait for next quarter?

Q: Hello, do you still consider TOY a good stock for future growth? With revenue growth slowing last quarter to 12.6 % ( vs 37.4 % Aug 2017) and further declining to 2.3% this quarter (vs 27.6 % Nov 2017) and outlook of mid-single digit Gross Product Sales growth for full year 2018.
Does that not seem to be an extremely low revenue growth outlook for a stock like this? I understand the Toys "R" Us issues are a big driver of this low revenue growth but do you have confidence they can return to 20 % plus growth ? I know I am focusing on revenue growth but it seems so low... maybe they have a more positive view for 2019, did you gain any further insights from the conference call?
Q: The share prices of both TSGI and NFI have recorded significant declines recently. However, I feel the growth prospects for both companies are solid and, as such, consider this to be a good buying opportunity for a 3-5 year hold. Do you agree and, if so, would you ease in with 1/2 positions at this time or take full positions and simply put them away for a few years?
Q: PHO really missed the boat. Have a small position. Is it best to move on, hold or buy a bit more on the downturn. As I watch the questions pass by, I sense there are many big misses -- RHT, TSGI, NFI and quite a few more. Are you doing something different in your analysis that might account for this? Sorry for being a bit negative but some of the shine might be coming off.
Q: Goeasy results looked great as usual but the stock is down more than 10% as I write this. What is the market not liking in the latest report? Is this stock a screaming buy now or stay away until it settles down?
Thanks for great service.

Q: On Nov 1 Bruce asked about SQ and KXS and you said you would side with Sq for growth, I believe. With the current drop in SQ what would be your decision?
thanks
Q: Hi,
In what order would you choose the listed companies to sell for tax loss harvesting.
And would you hesitate to re-purchase any of these in 30 days?
And would now be a good time to sell them? Or would it be better to wait a week or two.
Thanks,
Mike
