Q: I currently hold CALF and SLYV-A as part of my small-cap part of my portfolio. SLYV is up 21.05%, while CALF is only 5.21% in one year. IWM is up 28.42% in the same period. I want to sell CALF and buy IWM. Alternatively, buy IWR as a mid-cap may have better potential.

Q: Greetings:
I have held the above in my RRIF for quite some time, and under water. The interest is adequate, but eaten up badly by the loss of capital. I thought that as interest came down it would benefit the MIC'S, but not so!! What is the outlook for this one? Under what conditions would it improve? Is it just poor management?

Thanks, BEN.

Q: Good morning 5I team: Today's question is on a small cap on the NASDAQ ticker LX. It is in the Consumer Financials space and is a FinTech company. With the continued move to going digital for 'everything' is it time to pull the trigger on this one and take a nibble? Thinking of holding for 1 to two years and adding a little along the way. Would love your thoughts! I fortunately don't need to convert CAN to USD so this isn't a factor in my decision. Thanks!

Q: Could you please provide your current thoughts on taking a position in this company. Technically, it seems to have bottomed after a long steady decline. The recent CPKC announcement is encouraging. How is their balance sheet.
Thinking about a TFSA investment. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated!
Thanks for all the help you provide to the retail investor!!

Q: Hi Team,
What would be some of your best ideas in the small/ mid cap space today either US or CND that you see having the best potential over the next decade (medium risk). Or alternatively if I wanted to play it safer what US based etf would be suitable to play the theme here assuming small and mid caps will show outperformance in the next few years? I am leaning towards the US sector as outperforming canada at least in the next few years.

Shane.

Q: TH They make a lot of announcements but shares don't move much.

Is it just too small a company or do they not have the right products for the masses ? RAK

Q: Good evening 5i Team,

Can you please give me your current assessment of Profound Medical?

I've held this stock for about five years. It peaked in 2021 at just over $35, and with the recent drop (due to yet another financing), it's down to about $10.66. I've listened to each earnings call, and it's been the same message for years now that widespread adoption of their non-surgical MRI guided prostate cancer/BPH treatment is just around the corner.

Their "First-time CPT code reimbursement for TULSA" is to be effective January 1, 2025, and they recently partnered with Siemens in a co-sales/marketing deal.

Is more patience (along with patients) warranted here, or is it more likely time to move on? Thanks, Brad
