Q: Dear 5i
Between my wife and i we have 3 RRSP accounts. I wanted to add some more utilities stocks to the portfolios assuming now was a good time to do so . I'm having problems deciding between PPL , FTS , and TRP . Should i put PPL in one account , FTS in the second account and TRP in the third account or would you advise to pick the best one of the three and put that one in each of the RRSP accounts ? If you have other suggestions that would be great as well .
Thanks

Q: Dear 5i
Could you please rank the above listed stocks from best ie most likely to be worth a lot more after 3-4 years to the least best ie more likely to not do as well over the same 3-4 year time period . I'm also assuming that when i say best i mean companys that not only have great growth profiles but also have descent management and solid products and /or services that will likely remain in high demand for years to come .
Thanks once again

Q: Celestica- I added a half position last week at $90.10. It’s run back up to $139.50 making it a 3/4 position.. great timing so thank you for the additional insights. My question.. let the winner run seems obvious but do you top it up here or wait for a consolidation. If wait, do you think adding to CRM today makes sense - 1/4 position currently.

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i, enjoyed your webinar today. Thx for putting it together.

My question is on Canadian on small/mid caps, I've listed a few just to start with. Given the current environment what would be your ten highest conviction picks. I plan to hold for atleast 5 years, so I'm after safe business models that have a high chance of survival. If you list a stock not mentioned frequently on these boards then please provide a small blurb ast to why you like it. Thx again.
