Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I'm lacking in Consumer Defensive, Industrials, and Basic Materials. Please provide some names you like in each of those sectors.

I'd prefer safe income stocks but I'm open to hear a couple growth suggestions.

Q: I am trying to steer my and my husband's TFSA's more toward growth. The stocks listed are some of the stocks in our TFSA's that I am considering swapping out in favour of growth-oriented stocks on my watchlist. Can I get your opinion? Do you think that any of the listed stocks have enough growth potential to belong in a growth-oriented TFSA?
Thank you, Doris

Q: Hi 5i,
I'm trying to put together a materials allocation for my portfolio that pay a dividend. These are the companies I have come up with that pay a stable dividend and appear to not have too much related business. Is more diversification needed and can you make recommendations. Also is there any better replacements for these companies I would like to have at least a two percent dividend. Thanks!

Q: Could you explain "goodwill" to me please.

Today on BNN Ross Healy was commenting on NTR and indicating that 60% of it's balance sheet was goodwill. I have googled it and am wondering if part of the answer is the customer base and the related contracts. If goodwill is intangible, then how to you come up with a number?

Is this 60% number something to be concerned about?

Thanks...Steve

Q: It seems like a lot of analysts are talking about a resource bull market especially regarding the inflation/stagflation discourse.
Do you feel we are heading into a resource bull market?
And, are there certain sectors you favour - Oil/gas, copper, uranium, food, precious metals?
Finally, are there any stocks within this very broad resource sector that you think is a standout. Please take as many credits as necessary
Much appreciated
