Q: - Hello 5i Team,

I remember a member's comments recently about keeping Canadian company shares in a US$ brokerage account in order to receive the dividends in US$, only to discover the circuitous route the money took to finally arrive in US currency. I was so sure the company in question was Brookfield but am unable to find the question again.

Can you help please? Thank you.

Q: In looking at a long term chart for AC it appears there is some seasonality to the stock's price, with the price peaking in January. In my experience air lines do not make good long term holds but there appears to be a potential to take advantage of the stocks seasonality. Please confirm if my observation is correct and provide your thoughts on Air Canada's current financial health and near term opportunity for growth. Thanks.

Q: I want to raise a bit of cash for a balloon payment on my mortgage. I can sell BCE at a loss, which would offset good gains earlier this year. Alternately I could sell NTR for a slight profit. I also own a bit of Telus (also at a slight loss) but no other Ag stocks.

Which would you be inclined to sell?

(PS - had some trouble getting website to accept this question; please ensure it only appears once in your queue)

Q: Hello Team 5i & Everyone,

Based on the metrics you watch, in your best estimation, do you feel that the US markets are in late cycle?

I’ve seen that there’s a “debate” that we’re either late cycle of this current run since the 2022 lows, or we’ve started a new cycle since the April 2025 low. Time will tell.

Thank you!

Sandra
