Q: Hi 5i,
Concerning the CGX recently announced sale of Player One Amusement Group...Do you consider this positive or negative for the company and what are your expectations for this company, are they really as bad as share price seems to suggests?
Share price is not far off Covid lows when business was zero...Are they effectively managing increased interest rates cost on current debt or is that a big ;problem also.

Current longtime shareholder pre-covid and trying to make decision hold or sell, my time line is 2 year time frame.

Thx

Q: I know you don't like comparing ETFs to single stocks...but I'm going to put a question out there anyway. I currently hold TELUS in a non-registered account. As I've held it for a very long time, I'm up 20%, but I feel the stock is stalled for a number of reasons. Given that I bought it for the dividend as well as some growth, I would appreciate your advice on trading it for HMAX. Please compare total estimated growth for both T and HMAX over the next 3-5 years. Additionally, with interest rates expected to begin falling next year, how would that impact the price of HMAX? Thank you.

Q: MoneySense recommended HXT as one of the best Canadian ETFs for years, but not in 2023. Is there any concerns that the government may crack down on Horizon's Total return funds that do not pay out any dividends?
Thanks!

Q: Hello, Lumine shares have rallied almost 20%, since TD initiated coverage on Nov 14, with a BUY rating and $28 price target. Based on its present valuation and growth prospects (5-10 years), vis-a-vis, CSU/TOI, would you be comfortable increasing current position size of 1.75%, even after the run up ? Or would you suggest to add to 3.50% TOI weight ? ( CSU, already being a large weight ). Thank You

Q: Hello 5i,
I am considering to let go of Ford and Magna as I don't see an EV catalyst for Ford and I am not sure about Magna since the Apple car rumour has disappeared !!!!
If I was to sell both, I like to add to one of the other tech companies ( listed above). On an evaluation basis which one is cheaper and that it has the forward momentum to excel in terms of their existing products and AI?
Thanks
Carlo

Q: Your recent inclusion of the stock to the growth model tweaked my interest. The company was unknown to me. A q and a search showed that you have been positive on this company for a while. I checked out the charts. A two year chart shows a nice saucer and handle (consolidation) formation (though the handle a bit extended) through 2022 and mid 2023 and then the breakout. In July/August price jumps from, in round numbers, $27 to $37. October sees a 20% sell off but then there is a quick rebound back to the 37ish level (very positive). My question is, are you aware of any fundamental reason for the price increase in July/August? I have not been able, through my limited resources, to find one.
Thank you
Neil

Q: In my open (unregistered) account, I currently own VGRO and am looking to invest some funds in ETFs . What is the difference between ZLU and ZLU.U? How would your rate the above ETFs for growth over the next 5 years? Do these ETFs hold similar investments (stocks, bonds, etc)? If I invested in 2 ETFs, which ETFs would be complimentary? Can you suggest similar ETFs with better growth potential in the next 5 years? Thank you
