Q: Hello Peter,

After Fed Powell's update today, is it reasonable to push the pedal for a Santa rally into the new year? If so, what sectors in the US would you look at? Would you look at anything in Canada at all? Any stock suggestions for a 'rational exuberance' would be most welcome.
Looking forward to your perspective.

Regards

Rajiv

Q: I am looking at starting some new positions (3) in an unregistered portfolio – and doing so without regard to diversification or taxation – simply the best combination of a trio of stocks that based on current evaluation and their prospect for the greatest total return over the next 2-3 years.
I have reviewed your current answers over the last few weeks to a variety of similar questions and from your answers have identified a list of the stocks from those answers that I currently do not hold:
BN, DOL, DSG, EQB, DCBO, TFII, HEI, ODFL, SAIA, BKNG, ISRG. AXON, BRK.B, LLY, X, CPRT, ULTA, URI, DIR.UN, AW.UN., HPS.A, FIVE, PM, EIF, ENB, NEE, ABBV, TSLA, TOU, CELH, VRT, GLXY
Which trio (or Quartet, if you prefer!) of stocks would have your strongest conviction.

Thanks,
Terry

Q: Industrials 12% target allocation - what allocation do you advise? I have Full positions in WSP VRT and Partial Positions in ATS TFII HEI and AXON. Based on your advice, I would also like to have positions in URI HON TRI TIH HPS.A. Need to sort out what to own as Full and partial positions. Please rank for full and partial positions with entry prices for those not owned and what to drop from this list. I have a bias for serial acquierers along the lines of CSU.

Q: Dear 5i
The mean analyst recommendation in Yahoo finance is 1.8 whereas in 5i s website under market data it shows 1.22 for VRT . I assume the market data you show thru your website has more accuracy and therefore more validity . Is that a safe assumption .?Out of curiosity where does your market data come from anyways ?
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Team
Now that the "B" word has been mentioned in reference to MPW I guess my buy and hold approach does not work this time. Could you suggest two or three possible stocks that could help toward a 60% recovery of funds in my RIF account .
