Q: Hi 5i, In a recent TD analyst TECK report management stated that, "No material impacts from U.S tariffs — Management addressed the issue of potential tariffs on its conference call, noting that while they sell some finished products from Trail into the U.S., they did not expect the imposition of tariffs to have any meaningful impact on its business other than potential impacts to global GDP". Teck is premier company currently trading at a decent price so it seems as if TECK would be an excellent buy at this time. Can 5i give us 5 more superior quality Canadian stocks that appear to be well positioned to weather the US tariff storm? Yes bulletproof would be nice! Thanks, Chris

Q: Good day
At what price point would you say Alphabet, Oracle and PHYS.CA are screaming buys. If it is easier you can use the price of gold in US instead of PHYS. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Q: Hey 5i,
Has TFII found a bottom after their latest earnings report and subsequent reversal of their relocation of head office or will an announcement on tariffs cause a further drop? Are they still considered investable over the next 5 years? Would you buy this dip in share price?
Would you consider NBIS a buy at their current price? Where would you place them on the risk scale (10 being highest) over the next 5 years?
Always appreciate your advice.
Dan

Q: Q (Private): They just released their updated plan (until 2029); what are your thoughts on what they have proposed in terms of revenue / margin growth along with the strategy.

This stock has been painful to own over the last couple of years so not sure if this is a needle mover or more consistent w/ their past performance.

Didn't seem like a big catalyst.....

Q: In a recent comment on SAP the Debt was characterized as “pretty high” and a “concern”. Could you please quantify? The Net Debt / EBITDA looks to be around 2.0x which could be viewed as quite normal or even “good”. Perhaps the fact that the company has failed to grow despite carrying some Debt is the issue?
