Q: I have owned all 3 for a few years. I am wondering if I do just as well or better with moving the money to non covered call investments ? I also own ZWU which you like. Please deduct appropriate credits for a comprehensive answer. Thanks Steve

Q: As I read the charts CM - and others but particularly CM - had two periods of significant improvement beginning in Oct '23 and then Apl '25, peaking in recent weeks around 115, well above historic levels. There are three questions here - how stretched are the current valuation, what further progress might one expect, and what caused the value to rise so substantially? I am assume that AI prospects had something to do with the rise in valuation as other Canadian Banks have done well but have no info to support that idea or what might have made CM so outstanding. Look forward to your response.

Q: Is it a good opportunity to add Agnico Eagle shares, after 9% drop, Tuesday ?

Thank You

Q: May I please get you outlook on COR and MCK. Both have done well so far in 2025 and I wonder if you expect this to continue through 2026? DO you have a preference between the two?
Many thanks for your great advice.
Ian

Q: Hi Peter,

I wanted to get your thoughts on Telus. What do you think about the threat of opening up the competition in this area. How would you look at this risk and what % probability do you think it happens? Is Telus a buy at this level? Is the sector a buy or are risks to big to ignore.

Q: Two questions. You mentioned earlier today selling VRT and adding to NBIS to consolidate positions. Do you feel the growth is better in NBIS and outweighs the benefit of diversification? Overall direct AI exposure. I have VRT (3%) NBiS (2%) CLS (2.5%) NVDA (4%). Would you personally feel ok with this much direct exposure for the next 12-16 months? Increase or decrease? I didn’t included my 6% position in Google but maybe should have?

Q: I purchased this a few years agoon the basis of advanced technology for battery development and production. The company has seemed to evolve somewhat into a solar power business along with its battery production, and the stock has been jumping lately.
Any ideas on the future potential to hold for longer on this company ?
Thanks as always for your great evaluations and insight!

Q: Questions on PPL:

- Can you please provide a bear and bull case for PPL?

- How is its balance sheet compared to TRP and ENB?

- Is PPL different enough from TRP and ENB that one could own all three?

- If one were to own all three (and if BIP.UN is also owned - which has pipelines too) what overall total percentage range of Pipelines would 5i be comfortable with?

Q: You had recommended MUSA as a Best Stock Idea. It has dipped below $365 today. Do you still recommend this a good discretionary/cyclical name? Do you prefer others in the US? Also what would be a good entry point? Thanks

Q: The plunge in gold on Friday, followed by another today, have coincided with a steep plunge in the TSX on both days. Do we have any idea just how much of the outperformance of the TSX this year is due solely to metals, especially precious metals? Obviously a lot, since the TSX is now underperforming the S&P this month.

Q: Do you see this as a buy, hold, or sell.

Thank you

Q: Which ones would you add to today?

Q: This question will likely apply to any of the covered call funds. In your answer to Greg on Oct. 21, you stated that the yield on this fund was 14.02% but the one-year return was only 4.15%. The fund cost approx $13.06 a year ago and now sells for approx $13.70, which means that your capital has grown by 4.15%. But over that year, dividends totalling $1.92 per unit were received (for a yield of 14%). Doesn't that make the total return on this fund closer to 18%? I assumed that if the unit was worth the same or more than I paid for it in a year, the monthly dividend would not result in any decay and that this amount should be added to the increased value of my purchase. If this were a single stock paying 5% and the stock increased 5% isn't my total return 10%? Is a covered call fund calculated differently?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Hi Team,
Any news on PNG today? Seems to be on a tear but I can't find anything on it. Seems like every time I feel like adding to the name it takes another big leap up. A good problem to have I suppose. Would you recommend waiting for a cool down before adding more to this name? Or maybe just let the position grow on it's own merit? Right now its a 2.6% weighting in my stock portfolio.

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Did BAM split? Thanks!

Q: This marvelous stock has had a fantastic run during the year. How do you evaluate its sensibility 1) to a significant market correction and 2)in case of bursting of the AI phenomenon?
