Q: I have been thinking of replacing PKI with EIF in my RRIF over the last few months. During this time PKI has been steadily rising ( in a weak/ declining market) while EIF has been following the market down. The EIF decline has been quite substantial from what I see is a strong company with good prospects. Is there something wrong with the company that us retail investors don’t know about. ? Is there a rerating of the company going on ? Several analysts have been more positive on PKI. Should one expect strength in this stock to continue. ? Trying to figure out when ( and if ) I should make the switch. My gut says to wait this out. Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks. Derek.

Q: Most of the focus on AI to this point has been on providers. What is your thinking about its widespread implementation? Should we expect significant dislocation of intellectual human resources for example? What sectors, companies will be less obvious beneficiaries? Are there published discussions of the potential transformations we should expect?
Thanks, Hugh

Q: Hello Peter,
From an earlier question on VFV in terms of foreign taxes, it looks like there is a double taxation as VFV invests in US ETF not directly in US stocks.. I would think i am better off with xsp excepts the etf hedges. Would i better off just investing in SPY or is there another ETF that is like VFV but invests directly in US stocks.. Thanks very much

Q: What is your current view on this small company? I realize its small size and the current market conditions will limit investor interest but wonder if some of the recent news and fundamentals provides any encouragement for a better future (3+ years) stock appreciation? Also given its volatility could you comment on if this is better held in a TFSA or regular account where losses, if any could be utilized?

Q: Like everyone else I suppose I am looking for the next great idea. Is there a company or two on your radar that is impressing you with their performance/growth outlook? Maybe tempting you to initiate a report on? Bonus points if it is already profitable, and/or approaching 1 B market cap. Double bonus points if you could see the possibility of them initiating a dividend one day. Just looking to build a short list for further investigation before next year’s TFSA contribution. Thanks so much.
