Q: Besides CNR, NWC, TIH, and BN, I'm looking for 5 other quality Canadian companies that have at least somewhat of a moat, and are resistant to AI and other types of disruptions to their businesses. I'm looking for companies that are not technology, banks, pipelines, materials or the other Brookfields. Can you please help? By the way, if you do not agree with the four I've listed, you can also let me know.

Q: Hi everyone at 5i thank you all for the great information love this service. So from an analytics point of view I am overweight tech and under weight industrials. Given the recent pull back is this a “good“ switch? This is in a registered account so no tax implications. I’m not that good at charts but it looks like there is some support at $500 for AXON? The other tech stocks I have are NVDA, SHOP, AAPL, CSU, LMN, TOI, of these CRWD is the worst performer only because of the date of acquiring it. I would love to hear your opinion. Thanks again for all your help.

Q: A couple of favourites amongst growth investors. Which do you think has better long term relevance? Does HIVE in Canada essentially have the same product offering as IREN?
Thanks

Q: In your opinion which one of these high yielding companies, telus, sobo offer the best return over the next 5 years?

Q: Further to my previous question,would you consider these all as a buy at this time?
Thank you

Q: Hi crew, as QYOU did a 1 for 12 reverse stock split, could you confirm that the warrants price is also multiplied by 12? I believe warrants were at .06 so should now be .72 to purchase.
Thx,
Kevin

Q: Hi crew, can I get your thoughts on the recent quarter and do you see this company continuing to be successful?
Thx,
Kevin

Q: Are you aware of any studies done comparing the accuracy of performance of stocks using - Technical Analisys vs Fundamental Analisys? If so what are the results is one method more accurate.

Q: I am looking at fixed income potential across sectors as a low risk offset to my equities and would appreciate your recommendations. It doesn’t look like the space has good future prospects overall with rates having just dropped.
Of notable options, high interest saving accounts, bond funds, utilities, dividend index’s and perhaps reits, the reits and dividend indexes have superior yields.
Could you please comment on the space overall, which sectors are advisable and possible suggestions for purchase please?

Q: I hold VEQT, QQC, XDIV, QDAY & GIAX. I am selling all stocks and moving to ETF. My goal is to keep it simple and less monitoring.

Do you think there is a need to own SP500 & TSX ETF. If yes which one would you recommend.

Thanks for your excellent advice.

Q: Please give your opinion on the following "F" series funds. Any comparatives would also be appreciated Deduct as many credits as necessary.

Q: I currently hold modest positions in both FEZ and VGK, and I am evaluating whether to add to my European equity allocation despite the generally weak performance over the last decade. I would value your view on:
• FEZ’s concentrated Eurozone-only exposure vs. VGK’s broader developed-Europe approach (includes UK, Switzerland' I am unsure about the UK’s prospcets),
• how their sector weights differ— financials, industrials, and consumer names,
• concentration risk in FEZ versus the broader diversification of VGK,
• the impact of European macro conditions, rate cuts, and currency trends on each ETF,
• whether it makes strategic sense to overweight Europe at this time,
• and whether increasing one fund offers a clear advantage or if adding to both provides meaningful diversification.
Your reasoning would assist greatly.

Q: Do you have a preference between DXJ and EWJ for Japan equity exposure? DXJ has outperformed historically—largely due to currency hedging but this may not continue. I would value your detailed view —and reasoning on:
• attractiveness of hedged vs. unhedged Japan exposure in the current reckless debt levels,
• fundamental index differences (TOPIX-based vs. WisdomTree dividend/quality tilt),
• concentration risks and sector biases of each,
• DXJ is already held and I could add to it but I wonder what you think of how each ETF fits into strategic vs. tactical allocations,
(whether holding both funds offers diversification? Or would that be unnecessary overlap?)

Q: Do you have a preference between FXI and MCHI for China equity exposure outside pure tech? I would appreciate your rationale e.g. index methodology and coverage (large cap vs broader market), sector weights, liquidity and cost, risk concentration.
Any structural advantages or drawbacks? Assuming portfolio capacity permits, does holding both make sense from an incremental diversification standpoint, or does one ETF sufficiently capture the intended exposure?

Q: I think a lot of utilities tied to the wind-farm industry have taken quite a hit since Trump came back to tilt at windmills (Orsted, for example). But Trump won't be around forever. Assuming a significant rebound following his demise, what companies provide the greatest opportunity going forward? Please include one or two Canadian investment opportunities in your answer.
