Q: With regards to 5i AI special report is there any advice for members as to where to start. There are a lot of companies in your report. Maybe if you could narrow things down to 5 or 6 companies from different areas of AI that could be a core holding.Thank-you for the report and helping me to understand theAI process.

Q: With most software companies in a bear market, assuming AI is not really going to destroy all software companies, doesn't make this environment good for acquiring software companies (while valuations are lower)? Does the market believe that the AI companies (Open AI, Google, Anthropic, Perplexity etc.) will replace all enterprise companies? I really don't understand what is happening right now to CSU, LMN and TOI. It seems very irrational. Your thoughts?

Q: I sold T in December for a tax loss, hoping to buy it back however the stock has risen by 7-8 % since, so would lose on the exchange.
I have since been looking at HME and was considering replacing T with HME in an income account. I would take a little hit on the yield however I think it would be a safer holding re-dividend safety and possibly a better growth profile.

Your comments please on this approach.
Thanks
Jeff

Q: I'm having difficulty deciding which of the listed losers I should dump and move on. I find it easier purchasing equities than selling them. Which one of the 3 (or more) would you ditch and what is your rationale?
On a side note, I'm a 30+ year long hard core self directed investor and appreciate the service you offer.

All the best-Dave from Montreal.

Q: Good evening,


1) I feel that the materials sector will do well in 2026, do you agree?

2) If yes, which of the above etf's do you think would do the best given market conditions, their holdings, etc?

Do you have any individual stocks you would recommend in the materials sector that you think would outperform the etf's?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Q: For a portfolio overweight in Tech, which would you suggest trimming? The highest weights are VGT and NVDA, with less in GOOGL and MSFT, and a small portion in each of CSU and SHOP. Thanks for all you do!
