Q: Hi,
Last week it reported Q1-2025 earnings. It missed its EPS and revenue also come lower but from the share price movement this news is considered as positive as share price reached 12 month high. Can you please give your analysis on this kind of scenario? Is this considered as selling opportunity to take advantage of rally or there is some positive news under the numbers which normal investor did not see?

Q: Hi,
In your answer to Neil yesterday, you said that there are numerous high growth software companies that remain down 20%.+ Could you name several you like, both US and Canadian? Thank you Mike.

Q: I am up 140% on GLXY. Thank you.

I believe the strong recent performance is due to its NAXDAQ listing.

If this is the main reason it is up in a few days/week this news will be old and it will most likely pull back.

It's RSI is overbought and CCI is bearish.

What is your take on this? Has it hit a short term peak and will pull back shortly?

Q: For the long term what are your top 4 Canadian picks excluding Tech & commodities?

Q: Does CSU and PLTR operate in SAAS industries and are there any similarities in the business in which they operate?

Thx

Q: So I bought GLXY at its peak of $34.00 and then watched it drop precipitously and then bought more at $15.00 so averaged out at $19.50 , it’s now $32.00. What a ride ! In my TFSA and still own.
I bought it because it is well managed, diversified in the crypto world, solid financials , future Nasdaq listing , and looks to benefit from Trump’s support of crypto.
While I have personally experienced its volatility I wish to mitigate such extremes as I recently experienced. I am worse at selling than buying a stock ( common to many investors ?) so am looking at stop loss orders. I believe you are not a fan but David Burrows uses them on every stock so thoughts vary on them. He uses point and click charts ? I was thinking of just using a simple % such as a 20% decline since it has such volatility. What is your suggestion on selling stocks and using certain dynamics when determining when to sell ? Thanks. Derek.

Q: Whats your current favorite financial in Canada ? 2nd choice ? How does IFC fit in ? Thank you.

Q: Hi Team,

Can you please compare the valuation to it's peers and comment on its long term outlook?

Thank you

Q: Hi 5i
How were Glxy earnings today? Do you have any concerns going forward and do you expect the Nasdaq listing to be a big positive or maybe neutral for company shares ....
Would 5i continue to buy at these prices in the current market environment or wait ? 1 - 2 yr time frame?
thx

Q: Hello,

From all the companies in any of the 5i portfolios, would you be able to list which have been buying back shares or have had high insider buying within the last 6 months?

Thank you.

Q: What's with the steep dive of DOL of almost $8 in share price in the last five days and high volumes?

Q: Hello 5i
It's my understanding that GFL (industrial sector) was added to the BE portfolio in May 2025. Were there a total of two purchases totalling a 2.5% new position weight for that equity?
GFL's CEO is Patrick Dovigi and 5i considers it a big plus that Dovigi is also the founder of GFL.
1) can you please compare his pay package to those of the CEOs at WM, WCN and RSG?
2) in light of 2 above, can you shed any light about the governance of GFL and profitability of that company when C-suite compensation is factored into your thinking?
3)Dovigi's 2024 compensation seems out-sized by many factors. Was there a specific reason for that in 2024 or does relative overcompensation persist over multiple years at GFL?
Thanks in advance,

Q: Please comment on Kneat's earnings.
