Q: Hey 5i, these consumer staple stocks have basically done nothing over the last 10yrs. They used to be a place to go when you were concerned about market pricing with a little growth and a dividend. Have things fundamentally changed or is everyone just obsessing over AI and technology and forgetting this sector. Also is there anything buyable in the sector with some growth and a dividend.

Q: Good morning, could you please identify 8 "safer" companies you see at or close to the bottom of their trough at this time that have a dividend (% of dividend does not matter)? For example my guess would be CNR which was at $178 in March 2024 and now at $135 with a yield of 2.63% at this price.
Thx,
Kevin

Q: You had recommended MUSA as a Best Stock Idea. It has dipped below $365 today. Do you still recommend this a good discretionary/cyclical name? Do you prefer others in the US? Also what would be a good entry point? Thanks

Q: I am thinking of selling my full position in TCS and investing the proceeds in ATD. This will reduce my Technology holdings to market weight and increase my Consumer Discretionary holdings to be closer to market weight. What do you think?

Q: I need to raise some capital. Please advise in what order you would sell these equities. Are there some you would not sell? I am more of a income investor.

Q: I am constructing a dividend growth portfolio with the intention of holding all positions for the longterm, holding the following equities in equal weight (likely only one of MRU or L - or should I include both?), with 80% of the portfolio consisting of these individual equities and 20% in the ETF VGG.

Would there be any in this list you would not include, and are there other Canadian equities you would consider for this list? Is this the appropriate number of positions for such a portfolio. Please deduct multiple credits as required, thank you.

Q: You just published an excellent article by Michael Huynh on Canadian Companies that issue monthly dividends under certain criteria. Is there any chance you have the same criteria used on Canadian companies that issue quarterly dividends with the same criteria. With staggered investments I don't need to be that focused on monthly issuers.

Q: On Sep 12, 2025 you commented:

GIB.A can benefit from AI, and it is heavily investing in AI, but some consultant roles can be replaced by AI, and overall we think there are more interesting names in the market right now for the growth model portfolio.

Who are the more interesting names? Canadians, American and Why do think they will do better?
