Q: Retired with a longterm (10+ years) investing horizon and a solid pension. My TFSA is primarily growth and all Canadian with some US exposure (WSP, PRL). I’ve got some $US I want to put to work in my new unregistered $US account. I realize you don’t want to get personal but if it were your money and you were looking to start a new US based portfolio with solid companies a bit on the growthy side what 6-8 companies would you consider?
Thanks so much.

Q: We’re retired with comfortable pensions and a 10 year+ investing horizon. To date we’ve invested in Canadian growth companies inside our TFSAs (we’ve tried to access the US market through companies such as WSP and PRL). We’ve recently opened a $USD trading account and want to start investing in relatively stable US companies with some growth potential. ISRG is one we’re considering. Could you please provide a list of 6-8 companies you’d be looking into if it was your money. Thanks so much for all you do.

Q: Hello,

I own KMP.UN and just received a large package from them requesting I vote for or against.

They are asking shareholders to approve the plan of arrangement as Appendix E.

I made an attempt to go through it and understand what they were proposing but admit it wasn't clear to me.

Could you please clarify what they are asking shareholders to vote on and interpret it for us in simple talk.

With thanks


Sheldon

Q: What do you think of QXO? As far as I understand it is a very brilliant founder who has grown similar businesses, put in hundreds of millions of his own capital, has a lot of the same team in place, and is looking to grow and build in a fragmented industry.

What do you think/what can you tell me about the outlook of the company/valuation, growth prospects, etc? I see it has almost 1/5th of its market cap in cash.

I'm a bit weary of these types of situations after GUD, but also that could just be a shortsighted behavioral bias.

Q: Hello,
I'm looking for a way to park some money for one-year to pay down part of my mortgage after that. What are some low risk options to maintain liquidity if I need to use the funds for some emergency?
Thanks for your help!

Q: Hello 5i
I just noticed that in answer to a question you have put adt.ca ahead of premium brands in its category as a favourite pick. I have been worried that adt direction may be looking for a big way to make their mark in their acquisition. I have wondered whether that would bring them to abandon their usual caution. I hold pbh at now, a quite small capital gain and have been thinking about selling it. Just wondering what makes you so confident about this deal. And also, whether it is good enough to make the switch?
Thanks for this great service
