Q: I am interested in starting a position in one or two of the above three companies. I know that Goeasy is a financial company and also pays a dividend. I therefore have a slight leaning toward Goeasy first.

Could you rate the 3 companies, best first with any pros and cons that you feel are noteworthy. What company do you feel might have the most upside in the next two or three years. Thanks for your wisdom and guidance. It has helped me on many occasions in purchasing good companies, such as Kinaxis and Lightspeed.

Q: My full service advisor has suggested I sell passive ETF's ZDY, ZGI & VDU and buy active fund Capital Goup Global International Equity (CIF 843). The passive holdings have no trailing commission the active fund does. But it seems the active fund performance is much better? Could please give me your opinion if this would be advisable - thanks for your usual great advice.

Q: From what I could see HEO is not part of CWW etf. Any idea what it would take for them to do to get added? E.g minimum market cap?

Looking in to your crystal ball, would you suspect that HEO may try and apply to the TSX exchange from the venture within the next 12-24 months?

Q: I earlier asked about when/if you thought HEO could possibly move to the TSX, it got me wondering about two other stocks I own - STC and PEO. Both of these stocks seemingly are big enough no?

At what point to companies decide to list on the TSX from the venture usually? Is it a market cap thing? Thanks in advance.
