Q: Seems like the renewable energy area has a future. Could get your top 6 stocks that you would purchase for growth and dividend? Which would be most affected if interest rates were to gradually rise? Thanks for the great service. Would like to stay in the cdn market, but a top us one or two would be appreciated.

Q: More and more I’m seeing news such as the recent European Central Bank announcement their investment decisions will be guided by concerns around climate change. Following this theme, I’m interested in a ground floor (albeit risky) position for my TFSA, where tax-free growth is my only consideration. Could you discuss the relative merits of these 2 companies.

Q: You sometimes mention that a particular stock would be OK for a basket of small-cap stocks. I am intrigued. I think you mean like a mini ETF where you track the whole as one investment. I think I have done something like that with a very tiny portion of my overall investments. I have a separate little portfolio with these 4 stocks, KUT, QST, MTLO, PNG. This group has been doing well so far this year with the exception of KUT. But I am interested to learn what stocks you might suggest for such a “basket”. Also how many stocks would you put in it?

Q: Good Morning:
In a well diversified portfolio I have above "growth" stocks at 1.5-2.5% weighting in my TFSA. They've all performed the same either slightly down or flat and was wondering if you would add to, hold or sell any of these for long term hold.
Thanks For any advice.

Q: Hi,

If I understand correctly, 5I isn't very bullish on the oil and gas sector now; however, it seems like you have high expectations from QST. I can see the appeal that QST can have regarding environmentally conscious needs, but wouldn't the companies they serve have to start doing better before QST would see huge growth?

thanks as always for your insights,
Brad

Q: I have been away for a few weeks and went back to listening to my business podcasts. One that I enjoyed tremendously is the National Post podcast on climate change. It’s great listening and I do love her co relation of the climate change situation and the hysteria about it to a Monty Python skit , the fact that a lot of people are willing to blame yet very few are willing to talk about solutions. Great listening and a great explanation . the link to the podcast.

Q: Can you please help me understand why Blackline is valued at 2.5 times QST when QST seems to have way better metrics ( profit, gross margin)? While QST's revenue is not growing as fast, one can argue that QST only chooses to sell prodcutt aht it can sell/rent where there is a profit etc. QST's management is probably a least as good as BLN. Do you think there is a discount because the CEO of QST is a woman? Maybe it is just investor relations, lack of private placement of QST shares? Or fear of regulations or lack thereof hurting QST. Anyone who follows the climate change debate would see methane reduction as one of the the big news story of the past year.
