Q: Good morning, I hold these smaller cap companies in my TFSA for more aggressive growth, a strategy I believe you endorse.
In this new reality, I am thinking of a more conservative approach and selling the above and converting to FTS, RY, XRE, SLF.
If things recover well I will get a great pop on the big caps without the individual company risk associated with the smaller caps. If things go poorly with the recovery, my large cap mix should drop a lot less than the smaller caps.
Also, any of the above smaller caps that you do not like.

Thanks
Rob

Q: If I were to average down on these stocks which would you buy first and are there any in which you would not buy at this time. Could ECN go under if things don't improve over the next 6 months. Thank you.

Q: I have held efn and ecn forever. I should have sold at their highs along with lspd. At this point all three have been beaten very badly. Are the dividends safe (ecn and efn)? What about the core business of fleet? This was supposed to be sticky similar to a utility stock but the stock has certainly not held up. Will the customers go bankrupt and revenues dip? Does ecn have risk of lending default? And how sticky is lightspeed’s business? If their clients (smb retail) go under they have about 100m in the bank. Would that last long enough for a turn around? How do you view the limited insider and institutional ownership? Is this a concern?

Sorry for the many questions feel free to remove additional question credits.

Q: Good morning,

Can you quickly remind me how low (or declining) interest rates effect these companies? I'm curious if they, generally speaking, are positively or negatively impacted. I feel like they all benefit (money is cheaper for them to borrow for acquisitions - BAM, or loans - GSY), but I'm not too sure, especially with ECN.

Thx,

Q: Ignoring taxes, cash requirements, and sector allocation, on a straight-up basis, for a minimum of a one year hold, which of these companies would it be prudent to currently sell, buy, or hold? Thank You.

Q: Hello Peter, I have smallish positions in People and ECN in my TFSA. With this year's TFSA contribution, I'm considering topping up one or both of these positions for long-term holds. Which of these two would you favour? Or, if you favour both equally, would you concur with buying both, or do you think this precious TFSA money should go into some of the other TFSA-type stocks you've suggested recently. Thanks!
