Q: Hi Peter!

I'm looking to create a TFSA portfolio with an emphasis on growth. Given the smaller account size I'm looking to create a portfolio of 5 or 6 names. Can you provide some suggestions.

Q: Good Morning! Given the recent issues EIF is facing, would you consider the new EIF convertible debenture with a 6% coupon a safe investement if held to maturity and if so would such investment be best in a TFSA, RRSP or outside. Do you see the debenture possibly sinking bellow par in the near future and would it be better to wait and possibly buy it later at a more favorable valuation.

Thanks for your advice.

Q: NRG
Hi Peter, knowing your past involvement with this name it looks as if this name has upside momentum this past year and last Friday ,Robert McWhirter President of Selective Asset Management picked it as his top pick on BNN. Looking through their website, the projects in the pipeline leads me to think that the stock can double from here. Any thoughts?

Q: Peter,

You have commented in the past that you like companies to show some momentum in terms of sales and earnings. When we have skittish (down?) markets like we have now, with talk of declining sales and profits, how do you determine if that momentum still exists - wait for a few weeks of upticks?
Appreciate your insight.

Q: IPL.UN is it still a good time to buy?

From Reuters:
'However the company warned that while it will spend less on the expansion this year, costs for the projects are rising. It estimates it will spend a total C$2.9 billion on the lines, 12 percent above earlier estimates, because of higher labor expenses and changes to the scope of the projects.
The higher costs will be recouped from the shippers on the lines.'

Q: Hi Guys, as you said in your market update this downturn is a sharp correction. Would you be buying at this point or do you expect it to continue for a while yet and if so when do you think it would be wise to start buying, I'm going to start a TFSA investment account. Thanks, Nick
