Q: I currently own ROST but thinking of swaping for one of NKE, CROX, DOOO as they might provide better returns over the next 3-5 years. Or is there another US consumer stock you would suggest for growth?

What would be your preference in what order might you buy? ATZ is already owned.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi 5i
Concerning claiming a 5i membership for tax purposes. If one buys the whole package, is that claimable. Or, just the amount charged for the question and answer section?
Thanks

Q: I recently sold an energy holding that has performed well.

I'm looking to re-invest some of the proceeds into Sangoma (STC) and/or EGLX, both of which I already own.

What are your current thoughts on Sangoma, given the decline in share price this year and its debt? Would I be better off adding that portion to EGLX instead?

This would be in a TFSA. Otherwise well-diversified investor in his late 50s with a cast-iron stomach.

Thanks as always!

Marc.

Q: High growth stocks. A recent NP piece by Peter H. advised investors consider these vs. conservative picks coming out of a bear market. "Stocks that used to be 50X sales are now 3X sales and still growing at 50%+...a Bloomberg screen shows 982 companies with 50% sales growth in the next year."

Could you provide 10 Cdn. stocks in this category or better yet provide a link to the Bloomberg screen. Thanks.

Q: I own shares in ZRE, GRT.UN, and CAR.UN. They are all down in this market. Should I hold these for a year, hoping the markets will improve, or should I sell and move into something like TCN. Can you suggest better real estate companies, where the growth might be better, when the markets move up.

Q: Peter, one of the worst 'safe' investments I have ever made has been ZPR. Looking for a somewhat enhanced yield and a bit more safety, my 2014 investment shockingly dropped by about 40% in a year! The explanation 5i offered at the time was the declining interest rates combined with ZPR's rate reset preferred share holdings. But now, interest rates are INCREASING and ZPR is again down - almost 20% in the past year, and 12% in just the last six months. I realize other factors can move prices, but I'm mystified how a supposedly more stable investment can decline so much, so quickly, both when prevailing interest rates go UP and when they go DOWN! Do you have any explanation that might make sense to a mere mortal?
