Q: Hi team, I have owned all of the growth portfolio since the beginning and I would like your opinion on those three companies mentioned. As you know I am down significantly. Do I sell ,hold or possibly switch ? I have about 4or 5 stocks that I started to build from the balanced portfolio.
Thank you!

Q: My question from yesterday must be lost due to time out. Hardwood Distribution is off its 52 weeks highs, due to soft results, last quarter and possible short term impact on its China imports (11%) of its sales as a result of 200% anti-dumping import levy. Company's last NR did say that it has been positioning for past 12 months to replace the sources. I am planning to take a small position in the company to gain a stable name exposure to residential construction sector ( with large US exposure). HWD also has a solid dividend record. What are your thoughts on the company and its current valuation ? Thanks

Q: I have read today the Morningstar Credit report. I own 10K and made 23% so far :-)
Their leverage scares me, gone much higher since your last opinion on TMO, while they only have 600 mill in cash. Can I stay or sh I sell out.

Q: I am setting up an all ETF portfolio for a 20 yr plus holding period and I have a two-part question. The first part concerns the makeup of the Canadian/US component. Is it better to go with a combination of SPY and XIC or would including CDZ and VIG provide stability and perhaps a bit more growth to the mix (keeping in mind that I intend to hold at least 5% of each but don't need income yet)?

Secondly, I am looking for higher risk assets for my TFSA. I was thinking of IWO. I know that there are specialized sectors I could include but I looking for a fairly hands-off approach. Do you think this approach would serve me well - I know that it is only one asset type - or is there a better mix out there that would still be quite manageable?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: WITH OIL SEEMING TO RECOVER SOME, MY CPG WILL LIKELY BE CALLED AWAY AT $ 12.00.
COULD YOU PROVIDE A FEW LAGERS IN THE OIL SPACE THAT MIGHT BE REPLACEMENTS AND ARE REASONABLE TO OWN. (have 1/2 positions in WCP & SGY )
THANKS

Q: My TFSA is all in Can $. I have $12000.00 to add this year, so would like your opinion, on the US Tech sector, or the US Bank sector.
I would buy a ETF. At this time would you go hedged or unhedged?
Thanks for your continued support.
