Q: It’s RRSP season. I am very overweight the US market (and tech) and with the declining dollar, I am considering buying a Canadian security.

Can you list your 5 favourite Canadian Picks for a Canadian RRSP. I already own GSY, Propel, TVK. Considering CNQ as I have no energy exposure.

You can be aggressive or conservative in your recommendations. I have no preference as to market cap or sector.

Please rank your favourites.

Thank you.

Q: I owned CLS in 2000 and unfortunately in 2001 and rode the dot com bust all the way down. What is different, if anything, this time around? My 1/4 position is now a 1/2 position, thank you, but it has gone up too high too fast, and I have a long memory. At these levels is it a buy, hold, or sell? Or is it a keep your finger on the trigger, which is not my preferred buy and hold strategy. How will I know when the tide is turning or turned?

Q: I'm curious about companies that have been rather lacklustre but somehow have experienced some catalyst that has allowed them to gain their footing once again and recently started to move up in value considerably. Not worried about size of company nor what sector they are in could you suggest 5 Canadian and 5 American companies that fit the bill.
