Q: Hi Peter and Team
Although a lot of down positions in my RRIF, I would like your opinion on whether to continue to hold XBC and Acuity Ads; both down so much that they make up less than 1% of the portfolio.
Would you hold on, or switch to a couple of your recent suggestions, ANRG and CTS (that have aslo dipped since your December reports.
Don't worry about tax loss and the RIFF is long term growth.
Cheers, Peter

Q: At today's prices what would your favourite 5, profitable and growing small/mid cap stocks be and 5 profitable and growing large caps be?

Thanks again for your calm, rational reassurances that this is not the first time (nor the last) that the market has taken an ugly turn down ........ and that each and EVERY time it eventually recovers to reach new highs. Its easy to make money when everything is going up, the key is to minimize what you lose (most often by doing nothing) when everything is going down.

Thanks for the wisdom

Scott

Q: I get that there is money moving out of growth (tech) and into other areas of the market. However, all the mentioned names here have CAGR of > 25% amongst other great fundamentals (free cash flow, equity,...). So long as fundamentals don't change, I can't see any reason to sell - only to add to these names on this opportunity. So long as business grows (and >25% is huge!) all these should be winners in the long term, no?

I've experienced significant whiplash with most of these stocks but am optimistic that with a longer timeline I should be okay.

I'm hoping for two things in your response:
1. Giving me comfort that my thinking is correct and if I hold on I should be okay, and;
2. Of the list, the one stock you would add to today.

Thx for the comfort,

Cam.

Q: Dear Peter et al:
You have built a stellar reputation by choosing some very fine winners. SHOP/LSPD/PBH/KXS and others which have gone to become multi baggers to use Peter Lynch's phrase!

From your new picks, your holdings in Growth portfolio and from your watch list which do you think are your next multi baggers? Can you gaze into your crystal ball and share your insights? I won't hold you to your predictions!! :) You may speak freely!! Once upon a time articles used to appear in financial magazines titled, "Next Microsoft is here"!! :)

I am asking this Question specifically to buy with new monies for TFSA/cash in RRSPs and some in non registered accounts. If not stocks , ETFs would be fine too.
Many thanks in advance.
Mano.

Q: I understand Converge acquired many companies to allow for wide geographical coverage and raised money a few times already. What's expected to be their main driver for revenue growth in the next few years (they seem to have a wide range or products)? Also, can you comment on institutional backing they have. Would you consider the company medium or high risk. I am just trying to manage my exposure appropriately. Thanks!
