Investment Q&A

Q: I am an income investor and am overweight energy at 13.82% of my portfolio. FRU (4.63), CNQ (1.93), ENCC (1.17), TOU (2.72), EMAX (3.37). How would you reduce the energy holdings down to a more reasonable 5-7%?

Thank You, Jim

Q: Good Day,

Michael asked a question on Oct 27 re: bubbles, and the financial post article you referenced as the answer is behind a paywall.

 Could you discuss some of your thoughts on what position you see the markets in with respect to a bubble?  I'm not sure if it's just that I've positioned myself (with 5i and the 5i forums' help) so well to capitalize on this years themes, but watching my investment accounts' total value rise like it has seems unsustainable.

Is gold flying because many are thinking the same?  Is it a good time to position for a correction/bear/recession?

Would "positioning defensively" consist of moving weighting to the income portfolio names (if it were you)?  Are there any other names you would add to (Non O&G/Financial, I'm flush there)?  

Thanks for helping us all navigate this wild ride!

Q: Is there any way for the average investor, me, to have access to AI tools to help or make investments? Every thing I read now is "Learn how to use AI"

Do you use AI?

Thank you.

Q: I read your recent material on KNSL. I have been an owner for quite sometime and watched it bounce up and down between $420 and $500 in the past year. The reaction to earnings was surprising to me and I intend to add more. Please share your perspective on earnings and what you might expect to happen with the company over the next quarter or two. Is accumulating here sensible and do you still like it? A 12 month price target if not too much to ask would be great as well.

Q: Based on what happened to companies in the recent pullback are there any of your favourite Canadian growth stocks that provide better investment opportunities today than they did last week? If so, please list them in the order that you would purchase them today.

Q: With major banks like JPMorgan now planning to offer crypto-collateralized loans and expand into digital-asset services, I’m wondering how this might affect Galaxy Digital’s competitive moat. Could the entry of large, well-capitalized banks put pressure on Galaxy’s market share or margins, especially in institutional lending and trading? At the same time, what advantages does Galaxy still hold that could help it maintain its position as a leading “crypto bank”? In other words, as more traditional financial institutions begin offering similar products, why would institutional clients or investors continue choosing Galaxy over a major bank?

Q: Peter; ZOND did a presentation on Oct. 20 in the US. Did you see any news coming out of the meeting? Thanks.

Q: My portfolio is income based. I have capital losses in BCE, CAR,UN and ENGH. What order would you sell them in or should some be held? I am looking to replace some or all with the following; BIP.UN, NWC.UN and/or RCI.B. How would you rank them for acquisition?

Q: What is a good entry price for AEM.

Q: Some consider Telus to be a potentially significant beneficiary of AI, through its Telus Digital. Do you share this view, or is it really more of a slower growth telco?

Q: Orix (IX) is a Japanese financial services large cap ADR with a 3% dividend trading at 11X PE. With the pro-business govt change there would you be a buyer?

Q: What does the market expect Monday from Celestica with regards to earnings and revenue? Thx

Q: Aecon Group up over 12% on Friday. Is this a company that you like? Would you stay invested or take profit and move on. If so, is there a company in the space that you like better for the long term.

Thanks

Dave.

Q: As a Canadian, I'm not sure if its best to deal with Canadian or USA.
If AEM is a buy, what price would you be comfortable with.

Thank you,
John G.

Q: Hello,

If it keeps getting better, the cost of the 5i subscription will surely skyrocket like many of their favorite stock picks. Just kidding, thank you for everything you do, I really love the improvements you're making.


Thanks !

Q: Hi, if I want to buy two out of these four stocks, which two would you recommend?

Q: Hi,

Thanks for your continued service!

Savalai asked about bubbles on October 21, 2025.

You laid out some criteria that could be used to determine if markets are in bubble territory.

If you were to assess each criterion where do you think markets stand?

Thank you, Michael

Q: My goal is to have $1,000,000 TFSA, currently at $320,000 (CAD) but have $40,000 USD cash in there from trims to CRWD (ty from 2018 <3) and PLTR. For US stocks I own SOFI, CELH, AMD, GOOG, META, AMZN. My plan for my TFSA is put new contributions in CAD and put in your CAD recommendations. But for the USD I have, can you recommend some US stocks WITH buy prices (willing to wait for drops to pick up stocks at a lower price)

Q: What role can a Preferred Share ETF play in an income portfolio? With the current values of the bank stocks would it be reasonable to move some of the bank monies into a Preferred Share ETF to take advantage of the higher payout? If so which ETF would you recommend?
