Q: Following up on a question from Larry posted earlier today, but from a different perspective… Actual receipt of dividends is less of an importance to me and my focus is about the long-term prospects for a company (and of course, the increase in its share price). What is your view on NPI going forward? Do you see reason to view it favourably and to keep as an investment, or is it time to take the loss and move on? Please provide some of your analysis for your conclusion. Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Engineering stocks, specially WSP, have lagged the market this year, despite lot of positive news around data centres build and Canadian government spend plans on infrastructure projects. WSP actually is trading near its 52 weeks low.

Unless there is a solid catalyst to lift the stock over next 6-12 months, would it make sense to step aside and assign these funds elsewhere like financials ( Canadian banks ) or other industrials ( US aerospace) or even Tech ( CLS ), where there is better momentum and more visibility ?

Thank You

Q: Microsoft's C$7.5 billion investment in Canada (over the next two years), part of a larger C$19 billion commitment through 2027 may benefit some Canadian companies like GIB at 52 wk lows and CLS at 52 week highs.
I like beaten up dogs like GIB vs. high flyers.
What is your opinion of GIB these days.

Thank you

Q: As I muddle my way through determining which holdings to purchase or add to and which to reduce or sell outright, I can't seem to ignore the backdrop of tariffs and an unpredictable Trump. If CUSMA goes down the toilet and duties are applied to almost all goods I can't see how there wouldn't be cataclysmic damage to our country. I am increasingly worried that as an investor I am not discounting the likelihood of this accurately. I am wondering if you could comment on this and discuss what your thoughts are. I would like to be able to better formulate my own opinion as to the risk I am taking with equities and your input would be valuable.

Q: I'm analyzing some pharma companies for a potential single company to add to the portfolio. I know you like Cipher in Canada. I'm looking for outsized long term returns, so I'm excluding mega caps like Eli Lilly etc. More looking to get in earlier and hold a company that has the criteria to be a big name down the road. Can you compare CPH to KRYS, which is a US company that filters pretty well for what I'm looking for. Let me know which of the 2 looks like the better choice? Thx

Q: Good morning 5i.

I would appreciate 5i's comments on Forward P/E ratios published in major reporting entities like Globe Investor.

Are these based on consensus analyst projections of forward earnings? Do the forward earnings forecasts exclude large non-recurring transactions (that could flip a 'real' 22 Forward P/E projection into a more attractive looking 11?

In summary, what advice would 5i have on the above, and how much should one take an "attractive looking" forward P/E into consideration when thinking about a stock?

Thank you.

Q: I just read Peter’s rockets and duds, I would like to jump on the bandwagon for these 3 companies - if it makes sense to do so.

What advice can you provide given the rocket ride so far? Can they go up more in the near future? Thanks.
