Q: Not a question but a comment. I'm glad to see you are covering CRH Medical now. I had thought about asking the question a while ago, "why shouldn't I own CRH" to get the sell side argument in case I was missing something. But it sounds like you are agreeing that CRH has a bright future. Great growth, mgmt, and their expansion from the Gastro side to anesthesia services was very smart. I find them to be one of the better run companies in my portfolio, so far.

Q: Hi Team,
You've just added CRH to your growth portfolio. I've been tracking it for a while based on your coverage and a friend's position in it. Can you please comment on its risk level? My thought is to possibly move out of Gilead Sciences (GILD) in the US and into CRH. But I am concerned about its valuation after a great year, especially when compared to GILD which has had a very bad year (and may now represent a value opportunity or dead money). I also own Knight (GUD) and iShares Biotech (IBB). Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you. Michael

Q: Is the termination today of he Redknee deal likely to be of meaningful benefit to CSU ?
Q: CCL.B is up 18% today on news that it bought Innovia. Thoughts?
Q: Usually when a company makes a big purchase it's stock takes a hit, but CCL is up over 18% on the news of its purchase. Is this overdone? If you own should you sell now in expectation of a pullback, or contrarily if you didn't own now would you buy it here?
Q: CCLindustries hasten up ~18% this AM. Is it purely to the purchase of Innovia or is there another reason? Is this acquisition that benificial? Thanks for your insights.
Q: What is your synopsis on this company? It was recommended because of the high dividend.
Thank you
Thank you

Q: I have 7% of my portfolio in AAR.UN,Pure Ind. REIT, my only exposure to the REIT sector.I'm up about 40%& have enjoyed a 9% div. based on my purchase price 5 years ago.Income is not a big factor for me.Does Pure have enough growth potential, particularly in the US, to offset the expected interest raises in 2017 & further out?Should I keep Pure or sell in favour of ZUB, the BMO Equal Weighted US Banks Hedged to the Cdn.Index ETF? Would unhedged be better at this stage? My only US exposure is indirectly through TD & SIS.
