Q: Hello Peter,
My Frescii shares have tumbled 50% and am not sure if it is worth holding. What is your opinion? Do i hold or replace it with prometic or crh medical or for longer term knight (gud). With respect to Jean Coutu, would you expect the stock to go above 24.50 at a later point (higher offer) as my average cost is about that range or simply let the merger go through and I will get cash and some metro stock. Thank you.

Q: I am reviewing my non-registered portfolio for cleanup and cash deployment. I have 29% in a global equity fund and 29% in cash; the rest are contained in 26 equities, for which this question is the focus. Diversification and risk not a concern.

I am looking for your advice as to whether I should sell, maintain, top up, or trim the following end member stocks in my portfolio:
ECN 0.2%
EFN 0.5%
ESV 0.03%
XTC 0.7%
HCG 0.9%
XEG 0.9%
LUC 0.4%
ASIX 0.1%
JAZZ 0.9%
HON 5.8%
MSFT 4.7%
SHOP 3.6%

With the equity fund as an anchor, a typical full position for me would be 2.5 - 3%. To deploy the cash, could you provide me with a list of 5 stocks (excluding SIS, ZCL, GSY, or KXS) you would buy today for growth and/or dividend growth. Based on this I will buy and top up the remainder of my portfolio.

Thanks for your help - deduct as many questions as necessary.

Q: When does pho and sis report and do expect good quarters.

Q: Aegon's latest press release stated the company will purchase 52 million shares to offset the dilutive effect of 2016 end year and 2017 interim stock dividends. Why didn't the company just pay and continue to pay cash dividends? It seems they are complicating what should a fairly routine process. Is there a tax benefit for the company by doing all of this?
