Q: In light of Seema’s question today… “Please share your suggestions for 3 best index funds for TFSA as of today and non registered account for 5-10 yrs. What are your thoughts on CSU, GLY , SHOP to add as individual stocks. Thank you” …what do you think of keeping it simple and just contributing to XIT? XIT’s combined weightings of SHOP, CLS, & CSU is approx 70%, so this may be another reasonable way to invest in Canadian tech.

Q: Greetings 5i, I know that you have answered several recent questions on Telus including the dividend sustainability. But given the drop today (Nov 18) of >5%, which appears to be due to the JP Morgan downgrade, can you please refresh your thesis? Is the market reaction overdone? How does the current situation with Telus compare to that of BCE in the months leading up to its dividend cut? Thank you.

Q: Dear Peter:

Given your long experience working with some giants like Sprott and running funds, given the current market conditions, do you think Fund managers will sell and lock in their profits for year end performance figures or buy into weaknesses for a better performance figure next few quarters? Won't their buying and selling behavior affect the volatility?

From whatever I read, it seems that year end performance bonuses are important for many in the industry!!

I am not asking to "time the market" but to withdraw money from my Registered account for living expenses:)

Q: After being beaten down for several weeks, Lumine and Topicus shares jumped, Today (Tuesday), by 15% and 7%, respectively. Volume was not huge, but price action appeared to be good.

Do you think that this could be a sign of year end tax loss selling abating ? What would confirm this thesis ?

In theory, should it also help Constellation Software stock regain some strength ?

Both LMN and TOI are still down over 50% from their highs, but at least, it looks like a positive sign, as long as it does not reverse course.

Thank You

Q: What are your thoughts on the ETF SPMO? Would you see this as a reliable investment for a more growth forward investor during the long run? Would you combine this with a more stable dividend ETF to balance risk? Or would you prefer see someone invest in a Broad market ETF such as VFV. Thanks

Q: Hello, I am looking for a reason to keep my ENGH holdings. It's trading at $19 ( and I paid $31 orignially).

Would a pullback in prices of the massive U.S. A.I. companies affect ENGH's price? I understand that investors are questioning the high valuations of companies like Nividia.

Could a pullback in the A.I. industry valuations create buying opportunities for ENGH?

I am hesistating to sell ENGH at this point because it is profitable, has a good balance sheet, and the dividend is still attractive. But, if management continues to stay on the sidelines for investing its cash for much longer, I am concerned that the stock price will continue to fall.
