Q: Please provide your assessment of this company. MSA CN

Q: Happy Holiday Season all! Our question is not about a specific stock but rather we will need to take a fair sum out of our TFSA and/or non-registered account within a month or so. We will need to sell stocks from a well diversified portfolio. Can you give us any direction as to which sector it would be best to target for this withdrawal. We would likely re-invest the money over the course of te next 12-18 months.

Q: Assuming stable oil prices and no Trump tariffs ( having no expectations on these 2 assumptions occurring or not ), which of these 2 companies dividends will grow more quickly ?

At what price of oil have the companies stated that their current dividend level could be maintained before lowering it ?

Thanks. Derek.

Q: AGVO seems to be leaving NVDA in the dust good you give us a your thoughts and would you consider selling some NVDA and buying agvo

Q: What are your thoughts on VEEV recent earning? I have less than 1% in VEEV and have become frustrated with it after 3 years. Who is the leader in this sector? Who do they compete with? What kind of prospect do they have? Add, hold or sell?

Thanks

Q: Can you give me your opinion on this Company again, I know things have changed in the last year or so.
Jim.

Q: What is your opinion of QTRH? Is it a buy?

Thanks

Q: For a three year or longer time frame I intend to buy two of these stocks: SYK, ISRG, UBER or AMZN. Which two would you pick and please give your reasons.

Merry Christmas to all your staff

Q: I read this morning in the G&M there’s a push by consumer advocates for government legislation to be broadened to include restricting highly profitable credit insurance charges by alternative lenders. To what extent is even the threat of this a headwind for Goeasy and Propel? As as second question, should this restriction find its way into legislation, to what extent would this impact Goeasy and Propel?

Q: To get a well diversified portfolio of value oriented stocks, with a large component of cash, can I do better than simply buying BRK?

Q: BCE is so hated right now, it's trading like it's doomed if the dividend doesn't cut substantially. Dividend is now yielding 11%. Is this the next AQN or do they have a chance to turn things around with divesting TSN, laying off more people, etc? Was the Ziply purchase too high? Is the Air Canada Wifi deal a bad one or even move the needle? Is the Palo Alto partnership also bad? Seems like every news story coming out just drives the price down. I never want to catch a falling knife, but is the story really as bad as it looks right now and could this be a good opportunity to actually get in low with a high yield? Even if they cut it in half it would still be a great yield at this point. Maybe I'm blind, but I'm seeing more upside to this than downside at this point.

Q: Looking at beginning a position in Brookfield, but am hesitant when looking at price relative to 52 week high, yield is low, and P/E is very high. Could you please outline the rational for your support in light of the foregoing which may or may not be relevant. Thanks

Q: REITs have declined substantially since 2022. The payout has remained steady, but the market value of units has dropped.
What needs to happen in the markets to create a turnaround in this sector?

Q: Seasons Greetings to all at 5i, and fellow members as well!

Our Real Estate holdings include DIR.UN, FSV (thank you 5i for this stellar pick!), and XLRE. Portfolio Analytics indicates that we should increase weighting. I was considering adding to DIR.UN, or starting a new position in CHP.UN. If this was your portfolio, what would you do, or is there even a better opportunity? Thanks as always.

Q: AXON stock has taken a breather after reaching a high of $690, recently.

There have been some analysts' upgrades ( Price target as high as $800 ) and renewed enthusiasm in this Co., in light of the reports that the new incoming US administration will be focused on more spending on protecting US borders and law enforcement.

AXON stock's addition to Nasdaq 100 Index ( Dec 23 ) was also confirmed, this morning.

Many companies involved in production of military grade drones have also seen their stocks flirting with new highs, after reported sighting of drones in some parts of US and its defense bases.

All of above bodes well, I believe, for AXON Enterprises, being a pioneer in some of the most modern technologies and innovation to support the growing security needs of the Governments. Do you suspect that there could be a meaningful impact of possible US tariffs and competition from its larger US competitors?

How do you see the company's growth trajectory and its capability to justify its high valuation (per your recent comments)? The volatility of this stock was in full display, in Monday's trading when, after reports of Nasdaq 100 inclusion, some investors took profit and stock traded as low as $603, after opening much higher.

We recently initiated a position and after some addition, today have a 1.5%, weight ( ACB $635 ). Would you be comfortable adding on dips like today for long term, as a core holding ?

Thank You

Q: I am holding a half position in AMD- registered account. what would you suggest - average down, hold or sell?? Since I am over 90, a really long hold may not be of much interest. thanks Jim

Q: Fast rise and recent fall. Is their enough substance with this company to stick with it?

Q: NVDA
looks like it is slowly loosing ground what do you think?
Thank You for a good service.
