Q: Hello Peter, you've recently answered some questions as to current investment options for growth-oriented TFSAs, including the above companies. My TFSA has funds to permit three "growthy but not OVERLY risky" new investments. Whether from among the above choices or not, can you , considering the recent changes in market prices, please suggest your top 3 current choices to add to a TFSA (on top of my fairly balanced overall portfolio). Thank you!

Q: As a newer subscriber to 5i, i am interested in purchasing your BE portfolio. The above names have had huge run ups and I don't know how to approach them. Which ones are buyable at these levels?
Of the ones you deem buyable, can you comment, for each, as to whether a half position or full position should be taken.
And can you rank these in terms in terms of your preferences at current levels?

Thank you for your excellent service, as always.

Q: I'm a late 20s investor looking to augment my company group retirement rrsp (invested in MF's - Index/Mawer) with individual stocks. My goal is to add positions until I'm close to the Balanced Equity portfolio.
At this time, which of the above (or another if there is a better option that I haven't listed) would be a good idea to start with? Thanks in advance.

Q: Savarias results look good. Could I have your comments. Thanks

Q: Being a relatively young investor in my late 20s I think I should be allocating more of my portfolio to high quality growth stocks. (I likely have too much allocated to blue chip dividend cos) I have owned ATD.B, CSU and SJ for some time and was wondering if you could suggest some other similar consistent growth cos to look into?

Q: Hi , can you please provide the estimates for Revenue, EBITDA and EPS for the quarterly release, next week. Thanks

Q: After reading one of your blogs I am wondering if you can provide a list of companies in the past year that have instituted a dividend for the first time or have increased it by a considerable amount like savaria has done. And that will not cut a dividend just instituted. Thanks.

Q: SIS is up sharply today... Any thoughts on what is accounting for this?

Q: I'm planning to purchase 1 or 2 of the following stocks after the US election. Could you rate these 4 stocks in the order that you would recommend them at today's prices. Also which one is more under valued?

Q: Hallo I5, my cash position is over 25% and would like to buy one or more of the above stocks with div. income in mind and some growth. I would appreciate your help in my selection, perhaps suggest better ones. I like the chart of MFR.un but can not find any information MER, holdings, etc. I also own MAW104 and Maw105 in my portfolio and I am up 25% on both, should I take profit? Many thanks for your advise. J.A.P.Burlington

Q: Hi- can you compare and contrast SIS and ZCL please. Who gets the nod if room for only one?

Q: just a comment, great interview with marcel bourassa ceo of savaria just seen on bnn,done from his plant in brampton.
he has a guy working almost full time on m&a, and in the last 2 months he says he has made 2 offers on companies, but he also says it is very important to buy at the right price.he has 45 million in the bank and thinks he can do an m&a up to 200 million.
he and his brothers bought the company 20 years ago for 200,000, now market cap 400 million. dave

Q: I have 7000$ to invest in my cash account med. risk and no energy .as overweight. Sold above stock also have $5000 in rrsp to invest,, Help Please Med risk, Thanks in advance Cliff PS Wonderful service!!

Q: Hi Peter & team: Greetings! with reference to Tamara's question regarding who will be next US president, I hold the 3 US stock with total of some 10% gain (that is all I have in US$ and it is about 4% of my portfolio) should I hold or sell? Some money managers still recommend it. SIS I have some 30% gain and it is only less than 2% of my portfolio and you still favour it, should I take some profit? Honestly taking profit is difficult as it increases my total income and I may face a clawback of OAS. Please feel free to take my credit points as I have lots of it! Thank you.

Q: what would be the downside risk of companies like NYX, PBH, SIS

Q: Hello Peter,
Given the issues with some world banks, I have decided to hold off buying XLF. Do you think i am overly concerned here? Second, Sienna Senior Living is either stable or goes down a bit where as Chartwell continues to grind a bit higher. Any idea? Lastly, ATD.B has pulled back a bit. Do you see this as a good opportunity? Alternatively, i was simply thinking of increasing my weights on Savaria Corp given the results and forward guidance and Knight Therapeutics as it seems like it is becoming a health care fund with great management. Please advise fo your thoughts. Thanks again.
