Q: GBT seems a bit ahead of LNF in terms of developing its real estate arm, but with a weak market, it’s paying a price for it. Is GBT a good stand alone investment, and secondly if I already own LNF to you think they will largely move together?

Q: So for those who aren't comfortable with an equity growth tilt or who may fear that after 3 strong years of performance 2026 may not provide the positive results many are forecasting, Innovator has in additioin to their buffer etf menu some dual directional etfs including DDSQ tracking the S & P for 3 months with a 5% inverse cap/buffer with a cap range of 3.1% - 3.85% and DDTJ a one year dual directional etf also starting to trade Jan 2 which has a 10% inverse cap/buffer and a cap range of 12.24% - 13.74%. Since I no longer believe in the tooth fairy I am hopeful you can look at these dual directional opportunities, break them down into simple understandable terms confirming what indeed they are designed to achieve for the investor over 3 and 12 months respectively both on the upside and downside and whether their goal is realistic. Finally would you recommend them in any way as worthy for investors seeking upside in an up tape though with a cap as well as providing positive returns in a down market and if both of those outcomes are achievable what are the caveats. Seasons greetings!!

Q: Hi, just starting to look at the bond market, do not want anything to do with U.S. tax filings. Would like like your three recommendations for Canadian bonds. Do you have a Canadian equivalent for BND? (Low mer and nice yield) also corporate bonds eg.XCB could you touch on risk compared to your three recommendations.
Thanks, happy, healthy New Year

Q: GIS, KHC, CAG and CPB are all near long term technical lows. I know these are not 5i type of investments. However, in looking for a reasonable value play and using Loblaw as a relative baseline of 10 (unless you have a better comparative), are you able to provide an overall approx. rating of each with dividend and balance sheet sustainability in mind? Are there any major concerns that would make you completely avoid any, or all of these?

Q: Can you comment on the impact of the Jan1st Chinese restriction of exports (some licensing conditions apparently apply) on silver, tungsten and other elements/metals? Has Shanghai effectively taken dominance over the silver market? The silver bugs are excited for expected huge stock price increases due to the high demand and low supply situation. My thanks.
