Q: I am starting an RESP fund for my new son (initial investment maxed at $5000). I would like to begin with a somewhat aggressive growth-seeking small portfolio, and to then gradually add one or two stocks each year for diversification up to about 8 or 10 stocks in total. For my opening purchase, I am considering three stocks -- Kinaxis (KXS), Constellation (CSU), and Knight Therapeutics (GUD). Two questions: This seems to be a decent time to buy these particular stocks, would you agree? And would you replace any these stocks with any others? (I'm open to anything growthy, but have been considering Shopify (SHOP), Photon Control (PHO), Enghouse (ENGH).) Thanks, and great job.
PS: Should I wait to buy until a few days after the BoC rate decision, or has the market reaction more or less already played out?

Q: I am underweight in Engh and have taken a hit on it since buying in at 60+. My tech holdings are a cumulative 18%. Would you recommend a full position now ( to 20%) after the big drop or sit on the sidelines. I have a long time horizon, and am wondering if the bloom is off the rose for Engh, or should I wait for the next quarterly earnings.

Thanks as always.

Q: Enghouse is down sharply this morning by almost 4%. Is there something that the large institutional investors know or is something else causing this drastic drop on no real news? The second quarter Fiscal 2017 release is scheduled after market close on Thursday, June 8, 2017. Are some large holders of the stock expecting a poor quarter result? What are your expectations for the second quarter?

Q: Greetings, Peter & Co.
I currently hold AGT at a profit. I would like to replace it with another agriculture stock, small cap or mid cap, that has some growth and some dividend. Failing this, I would consider a moderate sized tech company that meets these criteria.
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: I am looking for growth within a 7 to 10 year time frame and would like you to rank Enghouse, Spin Master, and Envirostar in order of preference. I have a diversified portfolio and would be comfortable adding one or all three to my current holdings. Could you provide a one liner for each equity outlining their merits. I included EVI as a possible US growth stock based on a previous answer you provided the past week. Thank you.

Q: I own both these IT companies and both are below my full position of 4%. Which one would you choose to add to at this time. I am a long term investor, to be perfectly honest I tend to marry my stocks and am reluctant to give up hope. I still own MCR Macro Enterprises. Could you also advise me on if there is any hope for this stock if there is an energy recovery. Thank you for your service.
