Investment Q&A

Q: What are the earnings estimates for 2026?

Q: I would like to sell one of these bank stocks. In what order would you sell? Are there any of the Cdn banks that you feel are over priced or have less upside potential? Thanks for your exceptional service.

Q: I am having trouble deciding between market weighted versus equal-weighted ETF's.

Is it true that equal weighted portfolios often have a higher Sharpe ratio (better risk-adjusted return) but exhibit higher volatility (roughly 10% more) than market-cap weighted ones?

Q: CN Rail stock seems to have benefitted from the HALO theme as well as business prospects turning for better, after lagging the market for almost 18 months. The shares have gone up 15%, within a short span of 4-5 weeks.

Does it make sense to initiate a New position at current levels $150-$152 ( 52 wk high) or wait for some pullback/consolidation ?

Thank You

I'm interested in investing in etfs with an interest rate between 4 - 6% with some potential for Capital gains.
Low risk
Your recommendations please

Q: 1. Can you please suggest a list of 10 companies suitable for a Smith Maneuver account? Additionally, please provide 3 to 4 ETF recommendations. For each suggestion, please assign a rating from 1 to 5, where 1 is least preferred and 5 is most recommended. Finally, could you let me know if HDIV is a viable option for this type of account?
2. When optimizing or rebalancing an existing portfolio, do you prioritize the Sharpe ratio or the Sortino ratio while still respecting individual sector and stock limits?
3. When adding a new position, if a company passes all your initial fundamental and technical checks, do you utilize correlation or covariance as a final risk-management check?

Please feel free to use all the credits needed to answer all questions in detail.
Thank you.

Q: Brookfield many different Brookfield stocks.

Which one would have the most upside?

Thank you.

Q: Do you thinks any of these stocks are a good buy now and how would you rank them? Add any others you think should be included in this space?

Q: I am starting to read more about the risks for Netflix with respect to their bid for WB. Particularly in light of the improved offer from Paramount this week, and comments from the Trump Administration that suggests they likely will be involved in some way in approving a deal at some point, however that ends up looking.

My question is this - in the event that Netflix loses out (my view is that it is 60-40 they do lose out, either on price or regulatory/DOJ hurdles down the road), do you think there is upside in their stock price near-term? And I have also been reading that if Netflix does not get WB, they may take a run at Disney.

What are your thoughts on this?

Thanks as always.

Q: Hello 5i
Bloom Energy has continued to surge since your Oct.16/25 answer to a question. Does it look less speculative now? Any new developments?
