Q: With the VIX above 30 and sure to continue to be volatile in the coming weeks, how would you advise investors to step into the current market? Can you provide a couple of examples of companies you would be buying into this volatility?

Thank you

Q: Four oil companies make up 30 percent of my portfolio. Purchased during covid and have had big gains in all four. The yield on cardinal based on cost base is 22 percent. This is stupid I know but if not for these four my portfolio is a disaster. It’s basically kept me flat while the tech sector has taken a dive. Should I start to exit some of the oil positions and where do you go if the majority of the 5i favourites are all ready owned ?

Q: Could you please comment on the potential future growth and risk levels for each of these? Are any at risk of falling out of favour? Are there others here or in the US that you would recommend as 'better' or perhaps more reliable stocks to hold? I would be fine with US recommendations irrespective of size.

Thanks for your input.

Q: Good Day,

I have just started adding in to my cash account, which now has me considering tax ramifications. Since I am not looking to pay MORE taxes, what are some names you would suggest for a longer term hold with no or really low dividends and a long runway for growth. I have listed PNG GRID GRGD VNP and CLS. Would you add a couple other names and rank them with a comment on their preospects.

Thanks!

James

Q: Do you have 2026 earnings estimates for Aritzia and Groupe Dynamite? They trade on pretty high multiples of 2025 earnings, so just wondering how the p/e multiples look using the 2026 earnings estimates. Which do you prefer? Are they still buyable at the current prices?

Q: A question for the 5i team that will likely be of interest to a lot of us do it yourselfers. With 2026 in the headlights and big gains in the TSX where do you see opportunity going forward. 1-Could you make recommendations on sectors you think will out perform or under perform. 2-Which markets do you see with the best potential. 3-Your three top picks in growth and three top picks in income. I have a lot of built up questions that you are welcome to, hoping for a good in-depth response as per the norm. Crystal ball gazing but better you than I!

Q: Groupe Dynamite released a very strong Q3 earnings report on Tuesday, with same store sales growth over 30%, earnings per share up 75% and declared a $2.30 special dividend. I have been building a position in this stock since September. What did you think of the earnings report and do you still think it has good upside potential over the next couple of years?
