Q: Some of my favourite smaller cap stocks. Would appreciate a ranking on 2 fronts. First, please rank from 1 to 12 for the upside potential for the stock price over the next 5 years. Second, please rank from 1 to 12 the downside risk for the stock price over the same time frame. Understood that all are higher than average risk. ATZ, BRM, CPH, GRID, HPS.A, KSI, MDA, PNG, PRL, TGH, VHI, ZDC

Q: Good morning 5i,
I logged on this morning (Friday) quite sure there would be a question (or five) and answer regarding MDA's recent quarter, but surprisingly not.
If the question hasn't been asked and answered by the time this one comes up, please provide your fulsome opinion on MDA's recent quarterly results and your opinion of it going forward. (I've done well by it so far, but I wonder if it's now reaching its reasonable limit based on all the factors - both tangible and not - that drive share price.)
Thanks 5i,
Peter

Q: Hi 5i,
In registered accounts I hold these financials: POW, BNS, CM, EQB, PRL; these tech: TXF.B, HTA and the industrial MDA. I've held them for a long time and I'm pleased with all of them.
However, given Trump may be serious about decimating the Canadian economy (witness latest threatened increase in steel and aluminum tariffs) and likely can do a lot of damage even if he doesn't completely succeed, I'm considering cashing in holdings in Canadian names and replacing with US names through purchasing CDR's (I don't have a US account and don't plan on opening one). A few of questions arise:
1. Do you think my reasoning makes sense, or would it be an over-reaction to make the move regarding all or some of my above holdings?
2. If the move is worth considering, can you suggest CDR alternatives for any of the above names you think should be replaced?
3. If I do replace any of the above CDN names with equivalent or nearly so CDR's, what can I expect regarding dividend income compared to that from the CDN holdings (all of which - except MDA - are currently yielding based high, based on long ago purchase prices)?
Please deduct as you see fit.
Thanks 5i,
Peter
