Q: Bitdeer Technologies Group NASDAQ: BTDR

Buy or?

Thank you.

Q: Can I have your thoughts on WSBC? Thank-you.

Q: I have been asked by a 23 year old to provide suggestions for when she initiates her FHSA.

I immediately thought of the banks , which I believe is the premium Canadian sector for long term growth, growing dividends , and safety. I would also recommend a more Canadian diversified security (UMAX ) for her next purchase. Of the above banking securities ( all owned between my cash, tax free, and registered accounts ), which would you start with ? Would you be comfortable with UMAX as second pick ( admittedly hasn’t done much but provides diversification into large cap companies and a good distribution yield). I am only interested in Canadian securities at this point. Should I be comfortable with this approach? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks. Derek .
Any

Q: Your thoughts please, thanks.

Q: Hello Peter and team,
What do you think of Sagicor Financial and Aritzia? Also, the banks PE seem to be high in comparison to the past. Do you feel it is time to trim the positions in the index? Appreciated.

Q: Hi! Insurance brokers have taken a hit recently. Its seems the insurance cycle is against them for the foreseeable future. Companies like PGR have also taken a hit and seems' to be out of favor in the market, although the results did not seem alarming.

They, as well as the brokers I have listed, have a reputation to be be well managed and efficient and have had great returns historically. They do not reach these valuation levels often.

What are your views on the sector going forward and which companies would you recommend, if any?

Thank you!

Q: Hello,

"I'm down 16% on this stock, is patience my ally here?"

Thanks

Q: Hi, can you please help me understand what Accelerant does and your thoughts on it as an investment?

Q: The USA banks have reported excelling results this week.

Do you expect the same from the Canadian banks?

And given that I am adding to my financial holdings is the risk reward better with US banks or Canadian banks?

Finally where would you place BLK and BLX in terms of potential upside in the next few years?

Q: Hi

I was wondering your thoughts on BMO and its sale of branches to First Citizens Bank. What do you think of the transaction, any issues with BMO's credit quality (does this improve), is there an overhang on the stock with the pending deal and timing of the close. Overall - is BMO more attractive after this announcement and do you view it as a buy, sell or hold.

Q: Intact has been losing ground since the end of July and I can't find any news that might suggest a weakening of fundamentals. Any reason that you may be aware of?

Thnx,

GM

Q: Hello and thank you for all your advice. Hut hit an all time high since 2021 today. Do you still see some growth for this stock or is it time to take profits?
Thank you.

Q: Are you able to provide comparable alternatives in the US. Your top 3, ranked for long term return . (10 year hold)

Q: I am thinking of starting a new position amount these three, which one has more upside? Will this sector be negatively impacted by AI or Crypto adoption? Your guidance is greatly appreciated as always, thank you.

Q: Like Herm asked yesterday. It seems PRL and GSY are moving in tandem towards year lows. At some point and tax loss cannot be utilized in TFSA would you consider a swap or better to hold? Can you suggest at what price this would make sense or do you think PRL will eventually have more growth potential? Thanks Larry
