Q: I'm helping my 27 yr old daughter with her TFSA investments. The TFSA currently holds GSY, KXS, LSPD, PBH and SHOP, which have all done very well. I got SHOP for her at $67/share, so it's done particularly well!!
I'm looking to add one more growth stock to the mix, and have been considering LNF, WELL, GOOS, DOO or ATZ, but am completely open to another suggestion to complement her existing holdings. Please rank these from best to worst for growth (with moderate risk) if you were add today for a 1-3 year hold. If you have another suggestion for a stock that may perform better over that time frame, please provide it.
Thanks 5i for such wise and timely advice, always!

Q: This is a comment and not a question, I have been very happy with the service since I joined, your insights and comments have been invaluable. I highly recommend the service to my friends and family when we are discussing the stock market. .
I enjoy reading the questions on all companies regardless of the country. I have gleamed knowledge on other markets and would be very disappointed if you were to separate the question databases by countries.
If a question is on a company or country that I do not have or want in my portfolio I will just scan and go on to the next question, I think separate databases are not needed.

thanks again for the valuable knowledge you pass on .

Q: I noticed that 2 analysts have reduced their price targets for Kirkland Lake significantly and it has been lagging behind some of the other gold companies recently.

Any ideas what has changed the sentiment on the company? Are you feeling less positive about its prospects going forward?

thanks for your insight

Q: Just wondering about the suitability of Fidelity’s Global Bond ETF (FCGB-T) for foreign fixed income exposure? There had been a question before about VGAB which I think is smaller, newer, and less indicated yield. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks,
