Q: I have recently become aware of the potentially valuable AI aspect of the otherwise uninteresting (to me) bitcoin mining business. Which firms are best situated to profit from AI?
Best regards

Q: What 5 Canadian and 5 US stocks are currently the best to buy and hold?
Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
Under current market conditions, could I have your top 3 sectors to invest in today along with 4 (2 cnd and 2 US) of your favorite names from each sector.

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Hi group what's you top pick in the top 6 sectors.( In order of preference with some dialog on each pick). Is it time to go all in verses averaging down. Days like yesterday should shake loose so supers buys?

Also can you comment on risk (i am 74 yrs old) along with a few stocks or elf suggestions in Bitcoin / digital in general

Q: Could you please comment on the results and status of SBC. Thank You

Q: I wonder if HPS' compensation policy includes SBC annually. If that's the case and we look at the stock's performance over the past 3 years, the stock was $12. in 2022. If the options are vested after 3 years as is often the case or worse if vested 5 years is'nt there a danger of putting a lid on the stock price until the options are totally vested and cashed? I'm worried that the money invested in the past year will be dead money no matter what PE shows. Right or wrong?

Q: I see CI MSCI Canada Quality Index Class ETF (FQC.TO) is no longer available. This was an ETF that seemed to following 5i's investments strategy. It's replacement CI Canada Quality Dividend Growth Index ETF (DGRC.TO) is very different, with a much different sector allocation.

Is there another Canadian ETF that you would recommend as a replacement for FQC, that is similar to the 5i strategy?

Thank you,
CR

Q: What is you opinion on STC update release today? It implies revenue growth is returning for fiscal 2025 (as of July 1) and very low debt leverage less than 1.5 X EBITDA by yearend. Currently trading less than 1x revenues with big free cash flow, it seems like a good buy as new Management continues to execute its turnaround.

Q: In spite of Nvidia’s recent drop, I still find myself quite “tech heavy”, and I’m sure I’m not alone! Thinking of trimming, how would you rank these: NVDA, AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, MSFT, SHOP.

Q: Hi Group i am light on small caps what is the best way to play it or would you just wait?. If you like a better way than Russell growth/value please advise.

Also light on healthcare /financials/ industrials could you give me you top 2 picks (stock or ETF) in each of these sectors c/w short note on why you like them

Thanks for your help

Q: Hello; Could you please provide some insight on ECN, I own the
stock, is it a buy, sell or old.
Thanks for your great service.

Q: Hi Team,
After the sell off of the last couple days now what are 3 of your favourite Canadian stocks you would be keen on buying today for a long term hold, regardless of sector ranked best to least. Also if there are any US names available as cdrs that are good buys today after some extreme selling I would be interested in those to.

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: If you believe there is a rotation happening in the market from mega caps and the direction of interest rates is lower (speculation US rate cute in september), what are your favorite CDN and US names (2-3 names each) that may outperform in that environment?

Thanks as always,

Dave

Q: In the "rotation" that is moving through the market what would be your top 5 stocks in each of the US and CDN markets that stand to benefit most (listed in order of conviction if relevant) and a brief note as to why.

Thanks,
Terry

Q: Could you please give me your opinion on HUT? It's had a good run the past couple of days. Thanks for all you do!

Q: I’m reviewing your report on GLXY and am somewhat confused with the ownership structure.
I am trying to understand this relationship and have a few questions.

GLXY only significant asset is 33.7% ownership in GDH.LP.

Am I correct that an investment in GLXY is an indirect but full investment in GDH.LP?

If GLXY only asset is the investment in GDH.LP why would GLXY have 440 employees worldwide?

Who are the other significant owners of GDH.LP?

Does GDH.LP trade on a market or is it private?

Based on your recommendation I did take a position on GLXY and I have done very well with it. And thank you in this regard.

I am now deciding if I should trim or hold and understanding this company structure will help me in my decision.

Thanks John

Q: From a pure growth perspective - what are five or six companies that excite you most right now?

Q: Could you please recommend 5 US stocks (any sector but tech) that have a good outlook for the next few years. I am not adverse to risk as this would be for my TFSA.

Q: Is CTS still a favourite 5i small cap pick?
