Q: I currently hold BPY, but am considering selling it for a small

Q: With the trillions of dollars held offshore by US Corporations what would be the impact to European Banks when Trump approves the repatriation of these funds back to USA at a low tax rate. Would monies out of the USA be on deposit or held in government short term investments or US Treasuries. Would there be any negative impact to European Banks or local currencies ie Euro or pound etc when money is brought back to USA ? Bob

Q: Hi Peter and group as always I value your opinion. I am getting increasingly nervous about world affairs (Trump)- do you have an opinion on taking some risk off the table?If I decide to take some profits on my cash trading account do you know any way that can off set the Capitol gain?. Just to confirm my understanding is that the Capitol gain is due and payable immediately. Does leaving the cash in the account make any difference as to when the tax is due and payable. Thanks PS I understand this is 2 questions

Q: I am looking for growth within a 7 to 10 year time frame and would like you to rank Enghouse, Spin Master, and Envirostar in order of preference. I have a diversified portfolio and would be comfortable adding one or all three to my current holdings. Could you provide a one liner for each equity outlining their merits. I included EVI as a possible US growth stock based on a previous answer you provided the past week. Thank you.

Q: I've been wondering about growth vs. sector allocation. My portfolio is well diversified and has a growth bent due to my situation and not needing income for a number of years. The question is: when looking for growth, is it advisable to look for growth companies in all sectors? Or would you focus the growth more in certain sectors such as technology, and more stable companies in a sector such as financial? I need to add to healthcare, financials, telecom a bit but not sure if they are the best place to add small-cam growth, or look to find that in technology/industrial/discretionary. If in all categories what are best suggestions for small cap growth in health (other than gud), financials and telecom?
