Q: What is your preference for about a 5% weighting Stantec or WSP Global?I have no other stocks in this sector of the market.Could you include info on dividend growth ,stability & growth from sectors outside Canada. I'm not adverse to some risk but don't want to "catch a falling knife" either.Thanks, as always, for your sage advice.

Q: I am considering the purchase of Milestone. It appears that its revenue and distributions are in $US. Could you advise if this complicates matters in terms of tax and what type of account (RRSP or taxable) would be preferred to hold the security? Would the discount brokerage convert the US distribution to CDN and would they usually charge a fee for this?

Thanks as always

Q: I am wondering what would be a normal p/e for Concordia? Also perhaps you can shed some light on the difference between cash flow and levered free cash flow.I understood the latter represented the cash left over after debt obligations have been paid. With their substantial debt I expected Concordia's levered cash low to be substantially less and yet Yahoo Finance shows cash flow per share of $4.10 and levered at $6.55.
As always your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Q: I had purchased both Amazon and Netflix in equal weighting for my US holdings, at 2.5% each. I rode the wave of Netflix to top $130 only to see it tumbling down right to where I started. No harm, no foul. The question is, though, is the long-term growth of Netflix intact, notwithstanding its recent slowdown? I tend to have faith in these behemoths re-inventing themselves, but it doesn't always work out. Would it make sense to move this money to Amazon, or does it make good investment sense to hang on. (The other position I was thinking of adding to instead of Amazon is NVDA, now held at 2.5%, roughly.) Thanks, as ever, for your sound advice.

Q: Thanks for the small cap suggestions yesterday. I was also thinking of a 10I position in Cara, Mighty Foods, or Restaurant Brands International. I would appreciate your answer based on the fundamentals for a minimum 24 month hold. I also know Cara's board has had some issues re: directors as insiders and objectivity going forward.
Thanks again.
