Q: Good afternoon! There are two parts to this question:
1) You mentioned that BN would recover FASTER than Canadian banks, and given its having dropped more than any of the banks' 5 year highs, would you also say it has MORE upside, regardless of speed of recovery?
2) You mentioned that you see recovery for the Canadian banks, and that buying them is a good idea in the long term. I absolutely agree and have "doubled down" on that basis. However, you stated that you would not hold them at the 30% level of a portfolio. What do you think would be the MOST percentage-wise you would be comfortable with in a 100% stock dividend-payer retiree's portfolio?
Thanks! ... Paul K

Q: Hi Peter, I was wondering what your thoughts are regarding CSU, TOI and LMN as it relates to Artificial Intelligence. What role do you think software will play in this revolution and do you think that part of the move in CSU, TOI and LMN has been a result of the AI positioning by investors in these software companies. Canada has a smaller tech space than the US. Are these companies in the early innings of this AI theme and do you see higher prices for all three. I

Q: I am not sure if you are following the NKL proxy fight with Pelham but both sides seem to have some valid points. However, I find it hard to believe that the Board was going to give themselves 5% of the company in stock based compensation this year for what appears to be a holding company with little need for strategic planning. When Pelham pointed this out the Board removed the stock based compensation for this year. I'm inclined to vote for Pelham's directors. Do you have any comments or insight for me and others?

Q: Yesterday CGI Group announced that they have partnered with Helsinki University Hospital to produce an AI solution for analyzing brain CT scans and detecting brain hemorrhages. They noted that the solution may be offered to hospitals around the world and that it may also be used to advance the development of other AI-based healthcare solutions in the future.

This seems like an interesting new field for CGI and I am wondering if you think it is of significance in their future growth.

Q: In a recent answer you said "We feel that the slightly overcrowded flight to safety in large-cap tech names can open up opportunities for smaller and mid-sized names".

Is there a canadian ETF that reflects an investment in small and mid cap tech in Canada that is worth investing in right now ? And if not is there an American one ? Thanks

Q: Hi team,

I recently trimmed my position in NVDA and I would like to add the proceeds to my dividend income.

I currently owe BAC, BX, DFS, DUK, HAS, GLW, KMI, NVT, PAC, SWKS, VZ, WMB AND ABBV for dividend and some growth. I would like to add one or more US company to this list.

Any suggestions to add to this list? And, what company would you replace in this list if you have any concerns?

Oh, I'm not a big fan of tobacco companies.

Thank you for the great service and I really appreciate your insights.

Stephan
