Q: Thanks for answering my previous question on WEF (western forest products). I have been taking a closer look at wef and trying to decide if I should liquidate my smallish position. One thing I noticed is that WEF has nearly $300 million 'on deposit' with the USA government. This is for the softwood lumber tariffs that they have had to pay over various years. This is a unique situation but what does it mean to be 'on deposit". Does any of this money ever get returned to a Canadian lumber producer? If not, then why does WEF even mention it? I found out about this in a WEF press release and I made a perfunctory search of the balance sheet and I could not find anything, although I am certainly not any expert navigating balance sheets. Does it appear on the balance sheet but I just missed it? Is this a complete non-issue or is it a hidden source of future revenue for WEF?

Q: I own TOU and TPZ and like them both for long term holds. TOU was recently added to the 5i income portfolio. Why go with TOU as apposed to TPZ, which is more of an income structured investment. Do you feel that TOU will offer a better total long term return both with respect to their dividend and capital appreciation?

Thanks.

Q: My research points to many experts believing that the semiconductor chips will be shifting from NVIDIAs current offerings to cheaper custom silicon, setting up many of the names like AVGO, MRVL, QCOM,AMD and ARM well. Out of these names, which ones would you own, based on price and growth potential.

Are any of these resonably priced at this time and can be bought immediately or shoud I wait for a pullback.

Lastly, seems like NVIDIA has sold part of its ARM ownership today. Is ARM still a name you like and at what price level does it become a resonable buy. Thanks!!
