Q: Hi 5i,
I have not done well in my TFSA (Other accounts doing well enough.)
I'm looking for stock(s) with good growth potential but low downside risk. I am comfort to not make great gains but don't want to keep losing in this account.
GUD seems the logical choice. Would you agree and are there other names that you would consider here even if growth potential is lower? Thank you for the great service.

Q: I have a small position in HEMP and have already taken my initial invested capital back when it doubled. With the change in CEO there has been a lot of positive news from the company and it looks like they have a good plan for growth going forward. They have a new processing facility opening soon and was wondering about adding to my position. Do you think this is a little safer than going into the MED/REC Cannabis?
Thanks

Q: Hi,
My question is: With the swamp that seems to be filling and not draining in the US, and the reported near-deal between BPY.UN/BAM.A (one of their biggest investors is the Qatar Investment Authority) and the Kushners in New York for 666 Fifth Ave., do you see any heightened risks owning BAM.A/BPY.UN? If so, what, if any action should an investor be considering?
Many thanks, Michael

Q: I have a small position in PFE (about 1%), and I am interested in increasing my position to about 2%-2.5% by selling off a similarly-sized position in BAC. My portfolio has about a 10% weighting in financials, while I only have about 4% in health care, which is why I wanted to make the shift. My question is whether I am better off simply topping up my PFE position, or selling PFE as well as BAC, and using the proceeds to buy either JNJ, MRK or GSK. I prefer to stay with larger cap names, and in this particular case, I am looking at US names exclusively. If you have another larger cap US name that may be worth considering, I would be very open to suggestions.

As an aside, I also have a 3% position in GUD which I plan to keep for the longer term.

Thanks so much for your time, and I look forward to your response.
