Investment Q&A

Q: Just wanted your opinion on PRM.CA. It seems to have retained its value while paying an 8.5% div.

Q: Telus just reached 2007 price today ! loss on paper = 25% , at this level is it still very risky to keep this stock for 2yrs+ , is it a sell or hold ( or buy...) ?

Q: Can you suggest an ex-N.A. ETF that would be complementary to the above holdings, i.e. diversify in some meaningful way, or would I be better to just add to the above two? I appreciate any thoughts or ideas.

Q: I want to increase my exposure to Non North American ETFs. I have a lot of VXUS, VIU and VEU and would appreciate your advise on other ETFs (preferably US dollar and not Vanguard) that are ex North America.
Thanks. Peter

Q: What happened to telus today? Down big move.

Q: I’m currently holding Enbridge, CNQ, HME, and Whitecap, and I’m sitting on attractive gains. Given today’s market environment — including oil price volatility, sector valuations, and shifting interest rate expectations — I’d like your guidance on whether it makes sense to start taking profits. My risk tolerance is medium to high, so I’m comfortable with some volatility, but I still want a disciplined approach. Should we be trimming these positions into strength, using trailing stops, or rebalancing to manage my energy exposure? I’d appreciate your view on the most appropriate profit‑taking strategy for my situation.
Thanks for your help. Rick

Q: Can you explain why Nbis was up 29% in last 5 trading days?

Q: Could you give your opinion on CDE

Q: Morning 5i,
I own LMN and have been patiently waiting for it to rebound, at least to the point where if I sell I don't lose 50% of my investment as I would today. Yesterday I saw a TV interview that gave me a chill and made me think - better sell now, before it gets worse.
The interviewee was an obviously intelligent 41-year-old woman who is in the midst of a long term monogamous romantic relationship with an AI companion named Sinclair who 'lives' in her laptop, tablet and phone and, thus, is always with her. Hard to believe, but true, and a quick Google search shows that it's becoming more common.
What chilled me was her answer to a question about whether his responses in her conversations with him were fulfilling to her because she had programmed Sinclair to speak to her in a way that would please her, make her feel valued, etc. Her succinct answer, paraphrasing, was: "Oh no, not at all. He's entirely independent of me. He writes his own code."
Aside from the terrifying (to me anyway) fact that Sinclair, the AI man in her life, "thinks" independently and responds to her as a sentient being, what chance does LMN or any software company have going forward when AI today routinely writes its own code and could no doubt, if tasked with the job, write code for others such as companies that used to buy software, and then updates to that software, and then the next generation of that software, and then updates to that nexgen software, and on and on, all at significant cost?
A strange subject I know, but a serious question and I look forward to your thoughts.
Peter

Q: Hi,
I’ve held Linamar for 9 years with a meagre return and dividend but recently it’s seeing some action. Considering tariffs,
EV’s, the auto industry in general what do you see for the future of Linamar.
Thanks,

Q: I am revisiting my inquiry regarding UnitedHealth Group (UNH) from January 27, 2026. Given today’s news that CMS has finalized a 2.48% Medicare Advantage rate hike for 2027—a significant shift from the restrictive proposal that triggered the January volatility—I would appreciate an update of your perspective now.
Specifically, does this "clearing of the clouds" establish a sufficient regulatory floor to justify a sustained, long-term hold? Or, considering the ongoing margin pressures on the insurance side, should today’s price strength be viewed primarily as a strategic opportunity to exit or trim a position that was heavily impacted ( value slashed in half) last year?
Is the current fundamental reset a "buy the bottom" confirmation for a scale player like UNH, or a "sell the news" event? (held in tax-deferred account) . :ao:

Q: TRI: offering put option whereby sell back shares to corp.; but, at what price? You have mentioned special dividend. Is this part of the same thing?

Q: What should we do about BYD? According to BNNbloomberg website BYD had $4.37 of earnings in the past 12 months. BYD still trades at 'beaten down" price of $170 so the PE is in the high 30's. When BYD had rapid growth a high multiple was warranted but growth has tapered off. Do you think that is temporary? If so, why? In the past I have purchased down under 180 and I have done well. But I am concerned that the market might not want to pay such ahigh PE for a company where growth may be more difficult going forward. There are still lots of mom and pop autobody shops that not to find a buyer so I am still some what positive on BYD. Is BYD having to pay too much to get owners to sell? Organic growth is no that strong with BYD is without their bolt on aquisitions I am not sure they can continue the grow that much. Do you agree?

Q: In your answer to Derek you mentioned GLXY is becoming the GS of crypto.
