Q: Your thoughts on GUD going forward in light of:

07:20 AM EDT, 03/24/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Knight Therapeutics (GUD.TO) overnight Sunday said G252 Capital has disposed of 2.5 million of its shares at $6.30 each, and no longer holds over 10% of Knight's outstanding shares.

G2S2 now owns 7.54 million Knight shares, for a 7.6% stake.

Does this limit upside of the stock price?

Q: I currently have about half my investments in US dollar (unhedged) assets. I would appreciate your view about the US-Canada dollar? Do you continue to see the Canadian dollar decreasing in value to the US dollar? Do you see the US dollar as having peaked, and trending lower versus the Canadian dollar, and versus the DXY?

I have been very surprised to see how strong the Canadian dollar has been recently given the tariff questions, and the fact the Bank of Canada has been decreasing interest rates more than the Fed.

Many thanks for your valued and insightful advice.

Q: Hi Peter, Can I get your thoughts on Maxim quarterly results. Also can you provide your opinion on the company and whether it is a buy hold or sell. Also is sale of the business a real possibility - the company looks clean and has no debt and simple share structure in an attractive sector.

Thanks

Q:

BCE is trending down, ex-dividend. If YOU would cut the dividend, would you wait for next earning release in May, or sooner? What would be the probability the stock stays flat, instead of up or down when/if the dividend is cut?

Is Rogers a better bet at the moment or just a hold (I just sold it for tax loss) ?
I’m sticking with my Telus for now.
Thanks. Have a good week.

Q: I own BN with no intention of selling, but I find the dividends of the other Brookfield's interesting for my RRSP account with the potential of some capital growth as well. I know this type of question has been asked in the past, but not since the market downturn. Would you see a benefit of owning any of the others along with BN, and if so, which ones, and what would your total percentage of Brookfield holdings be. Thanks!

Q: I am working on increasing my sector representation in Healthcare. I will shortly have filled a full position in ISRG, adding in this downturn. I have traded around UNH, and am planning to take it from a 1/2 to full position. I have 1/4 position in ILMN and do not think I should be topping it up; I perceive it to be risky. I need 2 more companies, or may need to take one or both of IRSG/UNH to more than a full position.

This provides me a surgical/instrumentation company and a service/product supplier. For diversity in the Healthcare space can you rank your preferred buys (with entry points) I'd appreciate 2 recommendations on the pharmaseuticals side and 2 on the biotech side, or as you may see that fits better.

While I am open US companies I do have a concern that the Trump administration will bring the DOGE and Executive Order train wrecks to health care. I would appreciate your views on this potential action and howe it may impact investment choice in the field.

Thanks as always,

Dave

Q: Sorry for the long list, but that's my IT holdings and I need help to get to a more disciplined IT portfolio. About equal weight, except for SHOP which was owned and is currently on watchlist. Question 1- please advise a limited high conviction IT - does 5 sound about right? It would really help me if you could explain why these are chosen as I want to understand my investments. Question 2 - which ones to sell outright so that can redeploy funds? Any to hold for potential high growth potential?
