Q: I listened to Chris's top picks on Market Call a couple weeks ago. One being TSX and another gentleman had mentioned it yesterday as well.
I now see it at times as a recommendation at 5i. Is this a higher conviction profitable investment for 3-5 year time frame after the Aussie additions?
Also do we have any profitable Cobalt miners or an ETF in Canada to invest in?
Thanks in advance. David

Q: First, want to thank you for the service provided over the years. I recently reached a financial milestone (another 0 at the end of the net worth statement at age 33) and 5i played a massive part. Biggest elements were the great stock picks (obviously) which allowed me to outperform the market quite a bit, as well as the reassurance to stay long when the market has a fit.

My question is can you provide a list of top picks for long term growth that are less associated with AI. I'm heavy in AI, want to stay overweight, however would like to slowly diversify a bit over time. Open to a mix of risk levels.

Q: I'm looking to close out some minor gaps in my portfolio & I would really appreciate your view on TMX & Loblaws (obviously 2 very different companies). Are you currently liking them? Would you buy today? Are there other alternatives in their sector or industry that you would prefer instead? As always, thank you for your great advice.

Q: I was thinking of selling both QSR and TOU and buying SU and/or adding to EIF, X, or H. What do you think of this move? Would you have any better suggestions for stocks that pay a dividend but also offer some growth? I also have FIE in the financials space so no more financials and I own CNR already. Thank you.
