Thank you

Q: Hello Peter, I called in BNN market call but could not ask the question. Good show.
Question is about adding new money on a regular basis. What do you suggest adding to - positions that are lagging ( and thus are at the lower weight now - some listed above) or picking ones with most attractive outlook (from fundamental perspective).
Can you please suggest top 2-3 names in each portfolio at this time.
Thanks

Q: On August 8, 2018, Peter Hodsons Top Picks on Market Call were Covalon Technologies, now down 78%; Spin Master, now down 23% and Stingray Digital, now down 17%. This doesn't give me much confidence in the recommendations made by 5i Research.

Q: Hi Team,
Could you please provide your take on the US Fed's recent interventions in the repurchase (repo) sector (overnight money loans). I understand this likely means the US Federal Reserve will resume buying more Treasury debt, expanding its balance sheet (a.k.a. quantitative easing). I don't fully appreciate what this means but am curious if you have any opinion on its significance to Canadian investors and their portfolios.
Many thanks, Michael

Q: Hi,

I'm looking for another lo volatility, long term dividend payer with some growth like AQN, which I own. I also own TD and RY. Can you pick two choices for me from the above list? (as there are so many different offerings from BEP and BIP, I hope these are the correct ones? If not please suggest the better choice.)

Q: Hi All at 5i! Tracy Britt Cool is one of Warren Buffett right hand people. She is leaving Berkshire to start her own investment company , similar to Berkshire, but handling smaller cap stocks. Do you know if this investment company has been established yet? I have been looking but can’t seem to find any information. Your assistance would be appreciated. Cheers, Tamara

Q: We already own MSI - over 10 years now. PEO would be a competitor and maybe a potential acquisition for MSI - what do you think? It would not make sense to own both, I do not think; especially since, PEO might be more speculative and MSI established and pays a nice dividend. Thoughts??
