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!

Q: ECN recently doubled their dividend. This equates to a payout ratio of approximately 25% based on the midpoint of ECN’s 2019 EPS guidance. Did ECN simply double their payout ratio, or is the payout ratio staying about the same and ECN's profits have doubled?

Q: Is ECN still considered cheap? I noticed it keeps on trucking higher even on down days like today. The moves are relatively small but they have certainly added up since the beginning of the year.

Q: I hold 5 Growth Portfolio 5iR position as noted above.....that I've held for some time.
I've decided to fold them into my Income and Balance Portfolios rather than track the group separately. The reason is to better manage the position weightings. Although these 5 are more growth-er positions, I'm really more a 70/30 balance/income investor...and closely follow the 5iR positions and weightings.
Now for my question - what weightings would you give each of ECN and GSY in an income portfolio, and also for each of DOL, OTEX, PEO and SHOP in a balanced portfolio?
.......again, thanks for your guidance......Tom
