Q: I hold the balanced portfolio complete and have 20% of my total portfolio in the u.s. i like cgnx and evi but am looking at possibly some canadian stocks that would mirror these two or be part of the solutions. Could you please give me your thoughts on this matter and your recommendation of some stocks that would fit the bill.
Q: I would like to buy Kinaxis but it is near the 52 week high. What are your thoughts? In general when a you know a company is a good company, would you still invest when near its 52 week high or do you hope for a pull back?
Thank you

Q: I see that SHOP is going through a pull back today (Mar 30). Do we know what kind of agreement or contract that Shopify has with Amazon regarding their working relationship? If so, how long is the agreement/contract for?
Q: While I was successful with Canopy I was reading about the Horizons Medical Marijuana Life Sciences ETF (TSX;HMMJ)slated to start trading next Tuesday might be an interesting way to get back into this sector.It covers 11 Canadian and 4 US companies with a fee of .75%.Any insights? Thanks Paul.
Q: I must be naive.I thought conference calls would be a grilling of the ceo. I have been reading the transcripts and they are usually love ins with analysts asking softball questions. Nothing has changed. I presume at the end of call the analyst hangs a strong buy on the stock and the other side of the bank calls the ceo preparing the placement to sell more shares. I think this would good info for followers of 5i since every other question on Bnn
Market call asks what the analysts rate the stock which drives me crazy.
Could you email the list of great canadian ceos I missed it?
Q: Hi team,
What is your outlook on Canacol Energy's latest numbers? It is now the second largest producer in Columbia and could it be a takeover candidate? Seems like a good entry point ,since I have a two to three year time horizon on this one!
Many thanks,

Q: My emerging markets exposure is currently 100% weighted in India via Farifax India HLDGS. I am looking at adding either Russia (RSX) or South Africa (FAH-U) to the mix. Which country do you feel has the better growth potential or is there a third country you prefer at this time? Is this targeted country focus better than an emerging markets ETF like ZEM?
Your thoughts and feedback is greatly appreciated and I understand this is outside of your coverage universe
Q: 10,000 Americans a day will reach the age of 65 and this will continue for the next 19 years. That's 3,500,000 a year times 19 years. More walkers, hips, knees, wheelchairs, nursing homes, retirement homes, pain pills, drugs. More of what Savaria ( SIS ) produces. Great for Savaria !
What other Canadian & U.S. Companies will benefit from this great explosion of aging of America . Is Canada in a similar situation. Baby Boombers, Bob
My question is in regards to Kalytera Therapeutics. My stocks of Santa Maria Petroleum were converted to Kalytera when the company decided to get out of the oil business and refocus in the cannabinoid space. Is it a keeper, buy more or sell ? What are your thoughts on this company.
Q: You were not enthused with this issue when it did an IPO on November 1,2016. Have you changed you view? If not what would you recommend as a good place to park cash.
The cash balance usually $100K would fluctuate; but would never go to Zero.
Q: I am considering selling DH now rather than wait for closing of the sale. I would like to replace it with 1 of the 3 mentioned. Which of these 3 would you suggest or do you have another good alternative. I am thinking that my replacement would likely make up for the amount lost by not waiting for the closing of the DH sale. It does not have to be a Dividend payer.
Thanks 5i for the great information and advise that you give. It has certainly been very helpful and profitable for me.
John
I'm looking to add a 5-10% Gold position to my portfolio and would appreciate your views on this line of thinking.
Do you consider Gold as a volatility hedge a worth while endeavour? And if so, what 2 or 3 companies would you recommend for a Balanced portfolio approach?
