Q: Hello 5i team. I have NFI New Flyer and XTC Exco presently as industrials. I would like to add a bit of money to my industrials exposure and I am asking for your direction or recommendation either from the 5i's portfolios or outside of. I prefer to stay in the Canadian area. Risk is not a major factor for me in regards to this selection. Divi's make me a happy but also not a final decision maker. I can simply add to either of the above names also. I have twice as much XTC as I do NFI.
Thank you
You have been a tremendous help to me.

Q: I've been a long suffering shareholder. Stantec has done several acquisitions in the environmental and water infrastructure areas but no traction because eps never seems to grow. Is it time to move on? I like the sector exposure so would SNC or WSP be better growth options?

Q: Trying to decide how to allocate a full position or two half positions in a TFSA. We are growth investors with a 20+ year investment window. Currently most underweight in materials, energy and industrials. Plus I would like more non-North American exposure, if possible. WSP seems like it might be a good option. With the current market climate, what opportunities are there for me? Energy companies provide the least growth atm, correct?
