Q: I hold these in my tfsa at a huge loss. It doesn't look like they are trading at all. EVMT has said trading halted for months now. What should I do? I'm tired of looking at them!

Q: Good morning 5i: I have just listened to the podcast focusing on energy. Michael briefly discussed his research and thoughts on SES, but did not mention the acquisition by GFL. I suspect this may be due to the fact that the podcast was recorded prior to the news. My question: does the acquisition by GFL affect his remarks and opinions as the management will differ? Thank you.

Q: Silly questions. Is there a methodology to holding cyclical stocks? By being "buy and hold" am I missing out profitable opportunities?

Q: Thank you once again for the fabulous service, and thank you to everyone who posts questions. I find I learn a lot and get some good ideas from the collective community.
My Question:

Currently invested in WCN. I'm wondering if I wouldn't be better off to switch to GFL? I'm wondering if maybe there's more of a growth opportunity?

Alternatively, are there any other more growthy non- AI related companies you could suggest for a long term hold? (We currently very happily own WSP and BN)

Thank you,
Mike

Q: I'm puzzled by the fact that NTR hasn't spiked recently, with the Hormuz chokehold, farmers wailing about fertilizer costs, the Ukraine war etc. It's a cyclical stock, I know, and the market looks way forward but I'd have thought the current conditions would be excellent for NTR's share price. If it's not popping under these conditions what happens when Hormuz clears, etc. That could be a while. Can you shed your bright light on my little mystery?

Q: Hi. My very helpful neighbour has had a baby, and I want to give a gift to get him started on stocks. Do you have a recommendation for something that would still be a safe and good investment 20 years from now? I'm looking to spend between $300-$500 CAD. US or Canadian stocks would be fine. Thanks, Marg.

Q: Have you tried using the LLMs to see how well they perform as AI Investment Advisors? If so, which one do you recommend? I find the various models a bit overwhelming to choose from. Would Perplexity be the best, because it seems to offer access to both Claude and Chat GPT for a slightly lower subscription price?
