Q: With the decline in the stock price of CBL my weighting has come down to 3.5% from a full 5% position. Would you buy at current levels to get back to the 5% or would you suggest a wait and see attitude for the next few quarters before doing anything?
Thanks for your help

Q: Does Stella Jones stand to benefit in a major way in the rebuilding of the Texas coast? Where would I dig for more information on this prospect? Without the potential to benefit from the disaster do you think a $60.00 share price in 12 months is likely or pure imagination?
Keep up the good work!

Q: Hi Team,
I own Shopify and Knight as my two main growth holdings. SHOP has blown the doors off and I am willing to be patient with GUD. As a possible re-balancing move, I am considering trimming SHOP and looking for a third growth company. I know you've suggested several alternatives in the Q&A before, but I am looking for a similarly high-quality selection. I already own OTEX and want to avoid the energy sector. Can you please name the top three Canadian growth stocks that you would suggest for further consideration as long-term holds that are not on the Venture exchange? Perhaps Kinaxis as one? Many thanks, Michael

Q: Hi. I have a question about Altagas. When the company converts the receipts to common shares next year, investors will only benefit if ALA is higher than what a person paid for ALA.R. Recently, I found the common share price has been drifting lower and lower than the receipt. At this point, what's the benefit of buying ALA.R? Currently, ALA common shares receive a higher dividend %. I'm thinking to buy ALA or ALA.R for income. Which one should I choose, or are there any others that you would recommend? Thanks for your guidance. Have a great day.
