Q: Hi team. A few months ago I asked about the best stocks and/or ETFs for my 32 year old son to invest $12K of RRSP $. We didn't get to this yet.... In the past you recommended a few ETFs. What would you recommend today. I'll help him get this invested through a self directed plan next week. Thank you!

Q: What do you think of women's clothing maker Groupe Dynamite (GRGD)? The sales and profit growth looks pretty good. Stock isn't cheap, though, at about 25 times earnings. I figure you prefer Aritzia, but would GRGD be a decent addition to a small cap portfolio?

AEG has done well lately. I bought it several years ago as a contrarian play when it was out of favour. So I am up and wondering if I should take my profit. I remember the saying that bulls make money, bears make money but pigs get slaughtered...if you know what I mean.Ha! Ha! So do you think there is any further upside or has it run the course?

Your thoughts on LULU, RH and CROX? I bought them recently in expectation of a China tariff deal ultimately getting done. (NKE's Q results released today probably doesn't hurt sentiment). Are there any other names you would be interested in for a significant bounce?

Thanks as always.
