Q: I am considering these two stocks for my wife's RRSP. It is fairly diversified with 21 stocks and most sectors but only A&W Royalties Fund in the consumer sector. I like PBH because it is more defensive but QSR has a better yield. In the past I have concentrated on income but am trying to add more growth to the portfolio. What are your thoughts on these two? Is there another consumer oriented stock you would suggest instead?

Q: Just a comment to add to your comments about NFI in a previous question.
While the 40 electric busses ordered by Montreal & Laval may not be significant as compared to the 4,000 they have sold in the last 12 months,
the more important thing is breaking into the Quebec market (probably the
2nd largest market in Canada next to Toronto/Ontario). Lets face it Quebec is notorious for paying whatever price to support Quebec companies. Should these buses perform well it could be very beneficial to NFI.

Q: Hi
I'm a bit confused over how to assess growth companies on a valuation basis. I understand you can use a PEG ratio to factor in future growth, but a lot of the growth companies out there have PEG ratios that are far above one. How then would I know whether a company is "undervalued"? Would you compare to peers in the same sector or compare to historical values? Is there a PEG ratio that you have in mind above which you would never invest?
Thanks!

Q: IDM Mining, traded on the TSX - V.

I don't own this, don't typically look into penny stocks and I've only recently been made aware of this company. However, IDM is surrounded by other projects with great resources (Bruce Jack, KSM Seabridge, Garibaldi) and they appear to have support of local communities and First Nations. Stock is trading at $0.07 and apparently have gold reserves at 7.53 g/t. The "Golden Triangle" does have some pretty incredible mineral deposits:

Q: Hi,
Since your comments are often extremely intuitive and helpful, I am keen to hear your thoughts on the new Communication Services sector in the US. As it will reclassify a few stocks I currently own, I am wondering about the potential effects, if any, of ETF managers rebalancing sector specific funds on some of the stocks involved. It has crossed my mind there might be a significant number of changes required on multiple ETFs, but am not sure whether this may affect stock prices, or would it just see increases in volume for a period of time? Is there an opportunity here for picking a few stocks, possibly growth ones, that may gain from the reclassification?
As always, we appreciate your insight.
Dawn
