Q: please suggest 3-5 Canadian etfs for an 18 year old's first TFSA portfolio - something to keep him interested in the concept of growth through investing, including stability and risk. My thoughts are S&P, Nasdaq, Russell, large-cap and crypto. But please use your own judgement - thanks!

Q: Are the increasing delinquencies and fraud risks with auto lenders priced into GSY's pullback recently. With Tricolor, Firstbrands and Primalend now having major issues in the auto lending space, and a short report released not long ago which pointed out concerns with their auto lending risk. Its hard to tell if the pullback is mostly broader economy concerns and the auto risk may be another factor that will pull it down as delinquencies are increasing in North America, and if so we likely see more downside. Also does Propel do any auto loans, and if not does it seem like the better buy since its being dragged down with all the lenders? Thx

Q: Hi 5i,

A little disappointed with the performance of these two stocks. Are there worth holding? What would help sway your decision one way or another?

If you had to replace them with two stocks that have a higher likelihood for better performance, which would you choose?

Thanks!

Q: Hi Team,
Between NVDA and CECO, which "stock" would you consider having the most share price potential over the next 5 yrs? I am considering trimming some NVDA profits for investing in CECO, if this move makes sense. Currently I hold a tech heavy portfolio.

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: ASML reported last week and said it expects strong growth going forward due to AI. ASML has a nice niche business. But they also said they expect demand from China to drop significantly in 2026. China accounted for around 40% of the current quarter orders. Plus, China is restricting exports of rare earth materials which ASML needs for their machines. ASML said they will feel the impact in a year or so. I have a smaller position in ASML and a nice return. I was prepared to hold ASML but now am wondering if next quarter and 2026 results may be disappointing. Would you continue to hold or sell? Thanks.

Q: - Hello 5i Team,

I remember a member's comments recently about keeping Canadian company shares in a US$ brokerage account in order to receive the dividends in US$, only to discover the circuitous route the money took to finally arrive in US currency. I was so sure the company in question was Brookfield but am unable to find the question again.

Can you help please? Thank you.
