Q: Hello, Hammond Power stock has been so strong ( $52 to $82 ), within a span of less than 2 months. We have a very small 0.60% position, started around $57. Based on your favourable view and analysts' commentary, we want to build the position up to at least 1.5 - 2%. Recently stock has traded in $78-$82 range. Would it make sense to start accumulating in $75-78 range, or wait until next quarter ? Market strategists believe that small cap stocks have a lot of room to catch up. We are just a little concerned with HPS.a stock's incredible 200% + rise, this year and a possibility of stock to falter, for any reason. Thank You

Q: Good morning,

Do you think it may be prudent to swap out Franco Nevada shares now (considering the growing list of political/legal headwinds) for something else?

If so can you give a Canadian suggestion for gold exposure, along with two other picks (any sector) for a possible year-end through January bounce (CAD or US)? Thanks. Brad

Q: Hello Peter,
I've held FNV shares as my gold allocation since Q4/2018. Currently, I have a "reasonable" return of 8% per annum including dividends. With all the legal drama FNV is realizing in Panama, is it wise to sell FNV and buy another streamer or hold FNV for the long run?

Sitting with a taxable cap gain of 28%. Seems like the impact of FM is going to be significant for future earnings. Please advise your wisdom. Thank you.

Q: Quick turn around in this stock, from a Private Placement to potentially tripling the Bitcoin rewards in the purchase of new machines. Volume seems incredible. Normally 8M shares on NasDaq, today 46M. Normally 1.5M shares on TSX, today 6.5M. I assume when high volume and a positive day is almost always a good thing? Maybe a hedge fund or ETF building a position?

Q: Hi, I noticed that in Wednesday's trading, around noon, someone placed two large BUY orders at $75.80, for 30k and 18k shares (Total trade value $3.6 mln ). Stock later traded down to $75.51. Within an hour, after the orders were filled, Someone placed exactly the same two SELL orders at $76.20, for 30k and 18k shares. The stock bounced back up and both Sell orders were filled just before market close. These were not Block Trades, as there were multiple sellers/buyers for all four orders. CIBC World Market was the broker, both for initial buy orders and later sell orders.

Assuming (safely), that both buy/sell orders originated from the same party, the trades resulted in a net profit of $19k, on a trade value of $3.6 mln. Are these, Day Traders ( using Margin or not ), making money on a small arbitrage? Is this type of activity not uncommon during volatile trading of a stock, like today ? Does it have a relevance to large interest in ATD stock, Or, there is just not much to read here ? I am just curious and trying to educate myself. Thank You

Q: Hello 5i

My TFSA needs some torque - can you recommend three US growth stocks and three Canadian growth stocks that you find compelling to buy today for a 3-5 year hold?

They do not need to be sector or risk specific.

Thanks so much - very appreciated!

Q: Hi,
I don’t usually care on daily stock moves. But today, in a generally positive market, BBD and CAE , in the same sector, were both down close to 5%. Any news or analyst comments I missed ?

Q: Hi 5i,
In an otherwise balanced portfolio, I'm looking for some ideas for my TFSA.
Current holdings are KXS, LULU, HPS AND ATS.

I'm open to adding to the above names but was wondering if you
could you please recommend 10 Canadian and 10 US stocks that you feel would work well in a TFSA at this time in the market.

Thanks!!
