Q: Hi Peter and Company:
I am a growth investor, presently down on above 4 Canadian and 5 US companies.
Should I keep, sell, add or replace e.g. GC with TSGI.
Since US market usually outperforms CAN market I am fine buying all best US growth
companies that you will recommend...…..or mixture of US and CAN companies. Long term hold fine but not required. I will trade as required, i.e. when becoming aware of it. E.g. missed selling MX, where I had an nice gain but no alert to sell and now a significant loss.
Thanks for your advice
KS

Q: What is your view on 3M as a long term investment? I've always heard great things about this company and the shares always seem to sell at a premium, but when I take a look at growth either top or bottom line, it always fails to impress. What am I missing? Opportunity to pick up some shares here for the long term on the cheap with the recent drop?
