Q: Most of the focus on AI to this point has been on providers. What is your thinking about its widespread implementation? Should we expect significant dislocation of intellectual human resources for example? What sectors, companies will be less obvious beneficiaries? Are there published discussions of the potential transformations we should expect?
Thanks, Hugh

Q: Hello Peter,
From an earlier question on VFV in terms of foreign taxes, it looks like there is a double taxation as VFV invests in US ETF not directly in US stocks.. I would think i am better off with xsp excepts the etf hedges. Would i better off just investing in SPY or is there another ETF that is like VFV but invests directly in US stocks.. Thanks very much

Q: What is your current view on this small company? I realize its small size and the current market conditions will limit investor interest but wonder if some of the recent news and fundamentals provides any encouragement for a better future (3+ years) stock appreciation? Also given its volatility could you comment on if this is better held in a TFSA or regular account where losses, if any could be utilized?

Q: Like everyone else I suppose I am looking for the next great idea. Is there a company or two on your radar that is impressing you with their performance/growth outlook? Maybe tempting you to initiate a report on? Bonus points if it is already profitable, and/or approaching 1 B market cap. Double bonus points if you could see the possibility of them initiating a dividend one day. Just looking to build a short list for further investigation before next year’s TFSA contribution. Thanks so much.

Q: I'm not sure if I should take comfort in the fact that you still have ZRE in the portfolio or not, the last little while has been rough. If you were putting new money into the sector under current conditions would you stick with the equal weight ETF approach or would you just choose a couple of your favourite individual stocks like DIR and/or CAR (or perhaps another ETF that is not equal weight)?

Q: Hi, I’m overweight Telus, and although I like it, I feel it is stuck in this low range until it gets much better quarterly results. Do you agree?
So as a dividend investor I would like to sell part to a more reasonable weight, and would like 3 suggestion for another dividend replacement.( sector not a big issue). Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

Is L.PR. B an interesting buy for the income with a rate of 6.50% or is it better to wait for it to continue sliding downwards for a while longer.
In the current interest rate environment, what rate of return could help halt its descent. There are preferreds that reach 7 or 8% yield, depending of course on their category, the credit quality of the company, the sector...

Any information is welcome.

Thank
