Q: Good morning 5i,
Once again thank you for the excellent service and advice that you give so generously. This morning there was a question about putting Boyd into a TFSA. I had been wondering the same thing. But, you mention that you dont really see it as a high growth stock. I imagine I would be better to put Google in, if I want growth. That means another capital gain, however. The beauty of Boyd is that you have to take the cap gain anyway. Getting to be a long story here. But, how would Parklawn compare with Boyd in putting in a TFSA?
thanks

Q: Hi,

I'm sitting with a 15% gain in Parklawn. I believe I bought on advice read hear so thank you. My question is whether it should continue to be held in a balanced portfolio or if you would exit a 5% position because a better opportunity exists elsewhere? To go one step further, I have done well on Medtronic and might like additional exposure to US healthcare. Could you recommend a) whether to sell PLC and b) what you might shift to if you agree with my alternative above?

Q: Park Lawn Corp. has been pretty weak lately. You would think that with the amount of space to burry people getting less and less, that that their services would get a premium. Through the media I’ve been hearing about eco friendly ways if disposing of deceased. Things like composting (essentially becoming flowers in your flower bed) to burying people by road side and planting a tree over them. How would such future changes affect The company?

Q: PLC and KXS - two stocks that you promote have fallen quite rapidly over the last while. This rally we have had over the last few days - they have not participated in. I am thinking of replacing them with stocks which have more upside potential - PIF is one of them with a 7% dividend. What are your thoughts on that? On another note - I was logging into one of the model portfolios and it asked me for a user ID and password which I have not come across before and I wasn't able to get in -- even though I put a user ID and password in, it didn't seem to allow me to go in. Thank you Dennis

Q: I see PLC just released results which fell short of analyst expectations. Had a quick look through the latest financials and noticed increase in revenue and net income, decrease in long term debt levels however this looked to be funded by a share issue. I get that PLC is acquisitive and doesn't have the cash flow to fund all of the acquisitions. But does the constant issuance of shares concern the team at 5i? I guess stock performance to date indicates market is not worried about it. Any concerns with starting a position held in a TFSA?
