Q: Hi,
Having read a lot of Q&A s on both these stocks, I know you still support a Hold position and bit cautious because of tariffs drama but not too worried about the management or long term prospects of either company.

My question is this. I have GSY and understandably now I am down. I was up a while back before it trended down. However I did take the profit in PRL! (Lucky me!)

Should one sell some of GSY and buy with that money a position in PRL now? To hedge one's bet in that risky lending domain? Or add to GSY gradually and wait? If I am right in interpreting your answers, you think PRL has more potential for faster growth and rebound than GSY. Hence I am contemplating on such a move.

Many thanks in advance.

Would you kindly rank your preferred order of purchases among the names discussed? Are there any that you would consider "table-pounding" buys at current levels?

Please also include your thoughts on CNQ, as well as FOUR, ROAD, and CLBT.

Thank you,

Q: On GSY earnings . Revenue was up 10% and yet profit " fell " ..... As GSY's business model is pretty simple { earnings based on interest charged on the amount lent } Could 5i explain how if more money was taken in { revenue } how it is possible for profit to fall ? ..... It's kind of like a bank saying it lent 10% more money but somehow we lost money { profit } .... Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: PRL came in with strong earnings a few days ago. Whereas GSY has been on a steady downturn lately and is down 8.5% today alone. I would have thought they would trade somewhat in sympathy with each other being in the same industry ..... I'm down about 20 % on GSY right now and considering abandoning it for greener pastures ..... If it were to at least level out I would be inclined to stay the course but it isn't ..... Need 5i advice on first what is going on ? And second why it is going on ? Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: I have some money to invest. Could you please let me know, in order of best stocks to buy.
Read Answer Asked by Dorothy on April 25, 2025
Q: Hello,

How do I track the purchase buy backs of a company? More specifically, I'm curious to know how GSY and Enterprise Group (E.TO) are faring in their buy back programs.

You sometimes send out a link to websites but I can't find the post so I apologise if this is a repeat question.

Thanks.

Q: I'm holding PRL with a fairly big loss and I'm wondering how you would approach this situation. I'm fine to hold unless it makes sense to sell for the tax loss and buy GSY. If yes would you return to PRL after 30 days for long term? I assume they will move in a similar way.

thx, Mark
