Q: I wish to build a 3 year cash reserve to cover market fluctuations in retirement. Looking for liquidity and safety, and ease of use. I am considering HISA, money market funds, GIC's or Bonds ?
My account is at Investorline so would have to be available through them. Are any of these preferable or do you have other suggestions?

Q: Hello, I have long been a fan of Peter Hodson's team. Introduced thru Ellen Roseman's investment club.

I own JRVMF in my TFSA. Originally bought about $2,000 CDN worth of shares several years ago. I listened to my geologist neighbour.

Just received a package on the company's U.S. Chapter 11 proceedings (received by regular mail February 21, 2025, must respond by 5 p.m. CT February 25, 2025).

Package includes 1) notice of "Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization" 2) "Notice of Non-Voting Status" and 3) a form for those who "elect to opt out of the third-party release" which must be returned tomorrow, Feb 25, 2025.

I gather I am not entitled to vote on the Prepackaged Plan. I assume this is a standard thing. Any advice on how to respond would be appreciated.

Never listen to your geologist neighbour. Thanks!

Q: Hey gang!

I have a question about Aritzia Inc.

How much share price decline can we expect in a Trump-tariff situation? What is the tariff risk?

Your report notes the seasonality of ATZ with most revs coming in during Aug-Feb (the third and fourth quarters).

If I were looking for share price "pop" or a surprise, when would the seasonally influenced numbers show up? Would it be in the upcoming earnings report (Q4)?

I ask because I see a lot of ATZ clothing being worn, and I expect the numbers to be extra good.

Having said that, 5i made a great call on ATZ months ago. Is there room for more growth?

Regards,
David

Q: In response to one of the previous questions you indicated that with 70% of of its business in the US tariffs will not affect its business much. The stock has had one of its largest price drawdowns and as we know much of this is due to the very poor Q which in its history is also rare. Do you think that this dramatic price reaction is over done as investors believe the tariffs will have a much greater impact then reality. If you didn't own the shares could a case be made to buy? If not what price or circumstances would move it to a buy?
