Q: Having held FTS approx. 10 years I have enjoyed the total return. Now looking (in a well diversified RIF) at taking the gains and redeploying into CNR for some yield but predominantly capital gain over the next 3 to 5 years to bolster portfolio size due to increasing req. withdrawals (also own TFI and looking for similar upside on this). Thoughts?

Q: Hi 5i, Digital coins question, As of mid-2025, there are over 17,000 cryptocurrencies in existence (1 7 0 0 0 lol) ; Bitcoin and Ethereum account for most of the total crypto market cap (~70%) ; these two are the darlings of the digital era "the GoTo" to be in the game.
Most cryptocurrencies lack real-world use cases, active development, or sustainable communities. Many are speculative, abandoned, or outright scams. Besides Bitcoin and Ethereum, what other coin(s) would you favor ? thanks

Q: Wanting to diversify my bank stocks heavy cash account into more growth opportunities over the last couple of years , I have added BN, LMN, GSY ( and have done well , thanks ).
I have followed FSV and TFI for years , never buying. Basically , both were too expensive in my eyes. However I now see FSV as an asset light company with blowout earnings and TFI a company with strong management caught in a cyclical downturn. Which would be your next purchase and why ? Thanks. Derek

Q: I hold this in my TFSA currently at a loss. Years ago when i purchased it was for the div but now I am looking at a more growth type strategy for the account. What is the likelyhood Magna moves up over the coming months? I fear these tariffs will delay upward movement. I also find it hard to swallow the loss in the TFSA but still looking at all options. My growth in that account are Google, Nvidia, AMD, Amazon

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Thanks to 5i’s suggestion a while ago, our holdings in WSP have grown substantially. Recently, we initiated a small position in STN, which currently appears to have better momentum than WSP.

Since 5i approves of holding both, if this was YOUR portfolio, would you sell enough WSP to balance STN and WSP at 50/50?

Thanks as always for your guidance.

Q: Good morning team. I'm sitting on large gains on these three in my TFSA. (thanks 5i) As might be expected their position sizes have become rather large and I am cognizant of the concern that "pigs get slaughtered"! Sooo, what to do. I sold half of Shopify some years ago and diversified into Unity Software and Lightspeed. We know how that went. Should have kept all the Shop! I'm comfortable with a large position in CSU but I'm wondering if it's time to trim some Nvidia. What are your best 3 tech ideas for diversifying my TFSA. (I also hold most of 5i's other canadian tech companies.)Also, could you suggest 3 good ideas for diversifying away from tech? Thank you, Rod

Q: Hi 5i
I used to watch and trade MX (45.64) and looked at it again today. It seems to be quite bouncy so recent pullback is tempting me. I notice CEO Rich Sumner has been accumulating shares at prices $49 to $58 (from G&M site). Is there any reason that it tends to swing so much? Approx. what % of revenue comes from Europe and do you see any catalyst that could cause a pop?
Thanks, Greg
