Q: Hello Team, The above stocks are a basket of small cap tech stocks that seem to keep cropping up in various analysts BUY recommendations for this sector. Can you rank order the remaining stocks with respect to a Top Pick for 2018 in this small cap tech sector. Before you start are there any you would scratch from or add to the list? Particularly add, after all there is no point in commenting on my picks when 5iR's might be completely different. I apologize for once again presenting 5iR with these investor conundrums. However, it seems to me the Team always does a smooth job of skating through these dilemmas. Thanks Team. Chris

Q: Knight, Celestica and Lundin Mining are all trading at close to 1:1 price to book (per the Globe). Is that meaningful at all for any of these companies? Is it a "value" indicator that suggests better days may be ahead? Your thoughts, please. With thanks.

Q: Hi, I currently hold all companies in your income portfolio (except I sold Cineplex a while back) and would ideally like to go down to holding approximately 30 companies in total from the 50+ I currently hold. Going forward I would like to continue following the income portfolio but would like to add about 10 from your balanced portfolio. Which 10 from the balanced portfolio do you feel would most complement the ones from the income portfolio? In other words what are your favourite 10 from the balanced portfolio. Thanks, Mario.

Q: What are your thoughts on Mammoth Energy Service (TUSK)? Although it is a young American oilfield service provider it seems to be doing the right thing in vertically integrating their operations so they can provide frack sand from their own mines and pressure pump it into wells with their own equipment and even cement the well. Is this are a smart idea or should smaller companies just try to concentrate on one part of the horizontal/fracking boom.

Q: Hi 5i:
A previous question asked by Joseph today about the newly issued Series 21 Preferred Shares. I have that issue and it is currently listed as PPL.PF.A with my Scotia iTrade account. Hope this helps.
A previous question asked by Roy today, you listed PPL.PR.U as a minimum preferred to consider. That symbol I cannot find. Do you know what issue you are referring to?
Thanks so much.

Q: I currently hold these 3 in a us tfsa among a few others, and im looking to add to one of the 3 listed. BA recently announced 20% dividend increase and 18b buyback program, which seems very positive. NVDA also seem like a good time to add with recent pull back to sub 200s with no fundamental change. Then V is just doing what its been doing for years and years with slow and steady climb. Which would you preferred to add to and why?

CRA has announced $5500 contribution limit for 2018, when does it take effect? Is it immediate on jan. 1?
