Q: The genome space seems to have taken a hit and I'd like to add some to my portfolio. Can you give me 3 to 5 Canadian or US stocks going forward that you believe have the highest potential of gains( I realise this would also be subject to the most risk) for a 5 plus year hold.

Also 3 to 5 stocks from Canada or US that you feel should be held for long term exposure.

Thank you.

Q: In terms of starting and building out a large position in a new stock, how do you proceed? As a professional portfolio manager, is there a certain method or strategy you followed? What metrics did you look at in making your decision? Split the purchase into 2-4 chunks? I know its probably more of an art than an exact science but could you shed some insight into how you did it? For example, if I wanted to build a 3% position or had $50k allocated to MAGT, how would you scale in after its had its recent run. Thanks for your insight!

Q: Good morning, I noted your recent response re. Canadian tech stocks, where you were asked to rate the quality of some of the leading Canadian stocks. I hold KXS (up approx. 200%) and OTEX (up 100%) in my TFSA. I also hold some of the other top choices but I do not hold MAGT or NVEI and only a small amount of TOI. Based on your ratings, I'm wondering if I should sell KXS and OTEX and use the proceeds to buy the other 3?

Q: When looking at growth vs value or tech vs more cyclical stocks, we have seen stocks like GH go from $181 to 99, Coupa from $377 to 208 or Acuity Ads go from $26 to $8 while the DOW hits all time highs. My question is what do you expect would happen to this type of small, growth company when a correction comes? Have they been punished enough that they are buffered or even so an inflow of capital in a rotation or would they likely be punished even more severely due to (still) high valuations? As a part 2 to this question, what would be your five favourite growth stocks that have been beaten up and would you start positions in them today or wait for further declines?
Thanks!

Q: NPI has recently stumbled but is still likely a takeover candidate while BEP.un is a great all-around company. For new $, would you choose one over the other or a bit of both? Thanks!

Q: Morning... you mentioned XYL as on of your 4 favourite industrials. Could you update the other 3 for us.

Where would BA fit? Would you consider it a buy? Why or why not...

thanks, Mark

Q: I would like to hold a S and P 500 ETF for a long term hold in a non registered account

Between HXS AND VFV

1. Are there any tax advantages one over the other.
2. VFV seems to hold the American ETF NOT THE stocks themselves. What impact does this have for me?
3. please confirm for each their respective MER, AUM and daily trading volumes.
4. if either is held in a TFSA does it change anything?

thanks
Ernie
