Q: Hi,

I have read with interest but considerable skepticism the Q&A on crypto. Lately I am starting to learn about stablecoin. Irony aside (pegging a digital currency to despised fiat currency - lol), I do think stablecoin is a possible solution to the “wild west” of digital currency.

Having said that, stablecoin is still very new, and the main player, Tether, is private. There are reports about lack of transparency with its operations despite having leading market share and significant assets under management.

With the recent eye-popping CRCL IPO, and the seeming success of Tether, can you provide some insights into the stablecoin space and how a Canadian investor favouring a long-term, total return strategy might participate without speculating?

Thank you for your valued opinion.

Michael

Q: If you buy a limited partnership in a pipeline in the US at tax time you will get forms saying you may have to file a US tax return. This happened to me once and I don't want it to happen again. I was looking to purchase "weat' as there is a real drought setting up in the central plains but am worried that a product like this might trigger another US tax reporting problem. Right or wrong ?

Q: Hello 5i,
Of the mag 7, I hold MSFT, GOOGL, and META. Please suggest the next mag 7 to hold or just add to those that I already have. This is for 7 to 10 years. My portfolio is balanced in all sectors as a blue chip, dividend, value investor with some growth. Eighty years old.
Thank you for your great service.

Q: Greetings 5i,

Made a killing on Oklo and sold with the last pop. 114% thank you, Ill take that and run. Possibly will revisit Oklo if there is significant pull back from its highs.

All the same selling Oklo has left a spot in my portfolio where I would have liked to keep something related to the energy needed for all the new AI data centers. My main question is regarding GE Vernova, which I think trades both in CAD and USD. I see that GEV has started construction on a SMR near Toronto with at least 3 others approved. Is this a fair play on the need/push/development of SMRs for Ai and datacenter needs?

Cheers!

Q: I have been patiently waiting to add a water themed stock to my US holdings. AOS has underperformed this year, what is your thoughts of taking a position in AOS? At what entry price would you be interested in taking that position. Is XYL a better alternative, if so, what entry price would interest you.

Q: Hello 5i,

POWL was a favourite for electrical power grid growth at one time. There is speculation that their next few quarters may not be as "surprising". We are considering selling and adding a replacement in the sector or a stock in another sector, or just wait out the uncertainty of the market with short term Treasuries.

How confident is 5i in future growth for this niche sector in the US and would you stay in this sector if the dividend withholding cost rises? Please list your top 3 stocks in this sector or an ETF if that is preferred.

Thank you
