Q: Hey guys - thanks for the great service!

From Well Health FY 2024 reporting - I read Well was penalized $2.8B USD for the Circle business billing. "Company recognized an expense of USD $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, for estimated settlement costs."

For a company with a Market Cap of about $1B.....this settlement cost appears to overwhelm any chance to remain solvent looking into the foreseeable future. What am I missing.

Glenn

Q: I hold WELL, LMN, GLXY , EIF in roughly equal amounts in my TFSA and they are approximately 5% of my total cash and RRIF portfolios. My initial TFSA set up was for small cap growth stocks as other portfolios are full of banks , utilities, pipelines etc. Am retired and have enjoyed playing the “ riskier “ side of my portfolios , but haven’t made much money at it ! Am looking at selling it all and buying HTA for its
10 % distribution while keeping me in a growth sector. I like the idea of getting some money NOW instead of waiting till I sell. What do you think of this approach ? Possibly split the portfolio with HTA and EIF ? If I sold in stages in what order would you sell ? Thanks Derek.

Q: Good day,
I read a snippet of something on an investment forum about proposed US tax changes with regard to withholding charges on US dividends. From what I understand, the changes, if implemented would mean the US would begin to charge withholding tax even on dividends in RRSP accounts. Would you know anything about this?

Q: I read somewhere that the recent weakness of BEP.UN/BEPC is due in most part to tariffs on China imports of solar panels and wind turbine components, rendering many projects in the pipeline to become uneconomical and thus,materially reducing expected future growth. What do you think of this thesis? -- Or in your opinion, is the weakness in price are mainly caused by general market conditions and bad sentiments?
