Nebius Group N.V. (NBIS $78.09)
Q: How would you rank these for growth? I own GLXY and NBIS already. GLXY is 3.5% and NBIS 1.62% position. I could add more to NBIS or start new positions in either CIFR, IREN, HUT or HIVE. I see you recently started a new position in HIVE, but assuming you could choose between all of these companies, how would you compare or rank HIVE to HUT, IREN and CIFR as new AI/HPC plays from bitcoin miners? Thanks!

Currently have GLXY, BN, SIS and T.
What will be good holdings to add to this? If sector diversification is not taken into consideration, what will be good to add?

Q: Regarding Steve's question on Nov 25, 2025 about the TFSA withdrawal and re-contribution limit.
Using his example, if one were to withdraw $122,000 today, could one re-contribute $40,000 in '26 then $40,000 in '27 then $42,000 in '28 or does the re-contribution rule only apply to the following year and ONLY the following year?

Q: Dear 5i,
I have a diverse portfolio with stocks and ETFs. Most of my portfolio is doing well. Want to know your thoughts about a few of my holdings that are not doing so well - Adobe, Nike, Accenture, TMO, IDXX and Telus.
What are your thoughts? Should I replace these with a US ETF or hold on. Thanks for your valuable advice as always.

Canadian Utilities Limited Class A Non-Voting Shares (CU $42.28)

ATCO Ltd. Class I Non-voting Shares (ACO.X $55.57)
Q: I own Canadian Utilities and Atco Class 1 shares and they have appreciated nicely over time. How would you rate their prospects for growth in share price for the next 5 years?
With today's economic climate with the US, and the Canadian government's stated intention to push for big Canadian infrastructure projects, would one of these companies be a stronger bet?
Do you see the current dividend level as being safe for both companies going forward?
And, is there a good reason to own both of these stocks, given that CU is a sub of Atco?
Thank you for you insight and have a great day!

Q: Hi everyone at 5i thank you all for the great information love this service. So from an analytics point of view I am overweight tech and under weight industrials. Given the recent pull back is this a “good“ switch? This is in a registered account so no tax implications. I’m not that good at charts but it looks like there is some support at $500 for AXON? The other tech stocks I have are NVDA, SHOP, AAPL, CSU, LMN, TOI, of these CRWD is the worst performer only because of the date of acquiring it. I would love to hear your opinion. Thanks again for all your help.
