Q: I have an observation, as well as a question. I have held this company for a long time and am at a $31 cost base. Several times, I have taken profits to maintain a 4% weighting. I am at a loss as to why it was targeted more than once by short sellers over the years, and generally added on those dips. Now I am online and I see that despite the great quarter and upgrades by most analysts, Morningstar has a 1-star sell rating on it as of 8/13/25. It has been negative this stock constantly, which seems contrary to performance. I looked at new estimates and am wondering if you go along with the low $80 ish ranges or do you expect a bit of profit taking to kick in here? Thanks for your help over many years.

Q: Hello 5i,
Please comment on EIF earnings. This company seems to make money compared to AC over the last 20 years (16 for EIF). Can this continue? Have it's debt ratios actually improved? Are they facing a cliff?
TIA,

Q: Just trying to understand this type of instrument. Why would PGIC drop from $90 in 2006 to $4 in 2010 and then trade between $17 and $4 up to 2025? I don;t need specifics, just a general answer would do. Thanks.
Further to my last question on PGIC, (you may have covered this), why would this not recover after 2010 with the rest of the market?

Q: Good Afternoon.
What is your opinion of Chemtrade? Does it have some growth potential? Is the dividend safe? Also, I have owned Topaz for a while and it has been hovering around the 25-26 dollar range. Is there much growth left in this company?
I am considering switching from Topaz to Chemtrade for more growth and a higher dividend. What is your opinion of this move?
As always, thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Confused by the reaction of these 3 names. EMA/FTS up materially and BIP.UN down so far this year. Thoughts on why? Also on EMA with a 29% return YTD the stock must be stretched. Would you suggest a switch to BIP.UN?

Q: Good Morning,
I am a retired income investor who recently received a small $40k USD inheritance.
I would like to purchase US dividend paying equities (for geographic exposure) but am concerned about the withholding tax.
Is there any vehicle available to avoid or lessen the tax? I have no room in my registered account.
What are you highest conviction US stocks with plus 4% yield and some growth potential.?
Thanks Dave

Q: I am overweight in FTS and wish to reduce it and diversify into H or another utility. Do you think that H would be impacted if Ontario decides to retaliate to US tariffs by cutting off US electricity? Is there another utility company that you prefer? I already own some EMA.
