Q: Does the deal CRWV signed yesterday with Applied Digital have any negative implications for GLXY ? Is CRWV the only client using Helios Data Centre? Curious why CRWV signs these long terms leases and if they will continue to "rent" between having NVDA backing and there stock going to the moon, why not build their own data centres?

Following up on the Q&A re: Magellan Aerospace Corporation, can you please provide a sense of the pros and cons of this company as a long-term investment? Does it have any moat features? What are the risks and potential rewards going forward? What about position size - is a full position justified?
Thank you so much, Michael

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: 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: 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: 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,
