Q: I just noticed the jump in these shares over the past 3 days and thought there may have been news out on earnings but see that the last earnings release was Nov 6. Checking all the news sources I have access to has yielded nothing. Thought I would check with our ears to the street people, (that's you), and see if you have heard anything.

Q: Half of my RIF focuses on steady, monthly income and the other half on individual stocks. To balance safety with higher income, I am looking to have equal weight in FIE and HMAX. As I rely on this monthly income, what do you think of this approach for long term holding? Can you suggest better alternatives?

Q: I have been considering selling the following companies for tax loss. Do you think they are reasonable candidates? Or do you think there is too much bounce potential going into 2026. Would you be able to rank them in the order you would consider selling them from most attractive for tax loss to least. Thank you.

Q: Curious about how 5i adjusts their individual stock allocation in the portfolios. Do you annually take a broad look and make adjustments or do you just clip a stock if it becomes overvalued or to much within the portfolio. With the new money do you add to another stock or put the proceeds in cash.

Q: If I do an in-kind transfer of a security from a non-registered account to my TFSA, and the security is at a loss, is there any way to eventually capture the capital loss, such as when the security is sold within the TFSA. Or is the capital loss gone forever?

Q: Dear Peter and team:

Season's Greetings! Many thanks for all the words of wisdom. I am an "old man" and I have been part of many "services" like this. BUT Peter has put together a "different" team. I believe yours is a team that combines the "Art and Science" of investing very well with integrity. Bravo and Best wishes.

Question for the team: Hope this is not too "intrusive"!

What do you plan to buy with your TFSA contribution of 7000$ in 2026?!

Q: CLS: heading down - still very high P.E., very high price to C.F. etc. Selling due in part to profit taking for year-end? Lofty price going into 2026 of $600.00 per share? Buy for TFSA 100 shares? Risk vs potential as I do not follow this one and know very little about tech.

Q: Hi,

The last question/answer about MEQ was in June. There was something about it on
BNN Bloomberg, and I'm interested in your thoughts. You earlier (June) mentioned debt, but that it's also a potential strong compounder.

I'm interested in your thoughts. A possible purchase today? As well as reasons why or why not, please.

Thank you for your service!

Q: Reported U.S. core inflation is 2.7% for November and the trend appears to be downward. I think you have expressed the view that tariffs are inflationary. Given these numbers, would you be revising your opinion on this matter?
