Q: As a follow-up to Larry's question on July 10, which pre-supposed my own, I had one more point: I am looking for two companies which will need to be cashed out in 2 years. Do these two fit the bill, or would you recommend something else? Just looking for growth. Dividend not important. Feel free to suggest two others which might have more bang for the bucks. Sectors not important, as I'm well-diversified and comfortable with present portfolio, thanks to 5I of course. : )

These two new positions would be "mad money" undertakings. Thanks.

Q: I know that these 3 are intimately linked. I am wondering the advantages and disadvantages of each. As far as dividends and dividend growth, they rank PWF, POW, GWO (decreasing).

I am trying to chose one, but unsure which is better. Could you please outline the pros and cons of each?

Q: What do you make of the recent announcement on Sedar (July 3rd) regarding Michael Wekerle's acquisition of more shares in Mogo? Can anything be read into this purchase? I suppose he's either expecting the stock to go up for some reason or is positioning himself to take over the company (if that is even a realistic possibility, which I don't know). I would be interested in your comments. Thanks as always.

Q: Can you explain why Fortis shows a negative free cash flow, and how this relates to its dividend? Is it because they have long term contracts in place, so they are able to predict further cash flows? When I compare it to Canadian Utilites, their free cash flow is positive. I feel like I’m missing something with Fortis.

Q: A recent BNN interview appeared to suggest that ecn had or was becoming a facilitator of finance rather than engaging in direct exposure to the finance obligations, collecting fees for arranging the engagement, and the TD notes on this Co indicate that it is becoming an originator and asset manager, which to me seems to indicate a similar strategy. Would this not make ecn more economically sensitive to the sectors it participated in and less affected by the passage of interest rates and how would this affect your appraisal of ECN?

Q: I would expect hydro one to sell off today. Do you think it is a buy at his time and how much of a discount from yesterday's close should one pay given the uncertainty that will exist in the short term? This would be held by a retired person in an income Rrsp account. Thank you.

Q: Thinking on selling some (not all) of my Tourmaline and picking up a bit more Vermillion (likely top up VET so it and TOU are both about 10K each of my portfolio). Would you agree with this move and should I see more upside in VET over the next 36 months ?
