Q: Hi Guys

Boy DOO and LNR took a big haircut today. Do you think this is justified on the new tariff schedule, or a bit overdone? Aren't Linamar parts covered by CUSMA? Given they make the majority of transmissions for some US auto makers does this make sense?

Any other CDN manufacturers you can think of that are vulnerable too? eg NFi

Would you be a buyer here for either one of these companies?

Much thanks

Q: Hello, gas prices have gone up, fertilizer prices also, so there is a real risk that inflation will pick up at the grocery storemin a few weeks/months. Will chains like Metro or Loblaws gain from this? What happened in 2022-2023 when grocery prices when up quite a bit? Thanks

Q: Looking at some of the construction/engineering stocks. Since early summer of 2023, the larger companies STN and WSP are up about 50% and 30% respectively, but the smaller companies ARE and BDT have been massive winners, as ARE is roughly 4 times what it was then, and BDT is roughly 6 times what it was, gains of about 300% and 500%. Is the vast outperformance from ARE and BDT just a case of smaller companies being able to grow faster, or is there something fundamentally different in their businesses? Dol you think that ARE and BDT will continue to outperform STN and WSP?

Q: I am just starting to do the Smith Maneuver. I am planning on "deploying" about $200k to start and then CDA monthly and then, if and when there is a market drop, buy more.
My time horizon is at least 10 years but maybe more, if all works out.
Please recommend stocks and/or etf's; both Cdn and US.
Thanks for your knowledge and help.
I appreciate being a member.

Q: Typical Canada/BC that they pulled approval for Chem trade to produce sulphuric acid right at the time of a major global shortage and when the need for a North American supplier is critical.

Is the 17% drop today about right based on this news? What do you think the chances are this get overturned? I recently bought after looking at the macro situation and need to decide whether to drop and move on or if there is recovery potential. Given that Vancouver and BC is involved this could drag on for years, no?

Q: Hi 5i,
I have 300 shares of SES. It is in my TFSA, so no tax consequences if I sell. What is your opinion of the best option to take? Get shares of GFL, combination of shares and cash, or sell shares . We don’t need the cash but I want a company that has potential to grow.
Thank you for your opinion.

Q: Do you have any thoughts on CUBE? I don’t have a lot of REIT exposure in my portfolio (just a small position in DIR.UN and some ARE at a large loss).

Thinking of maybe either taking a tax-loss on ARE and redeploying into CUBE or else just buying CUBE with cash available in my portfolio (my sells are usually wrong, so I tend not to sell often).
