Q: Following up on question on January about the cost basis for TOI on shares I received from the spinout.

I have this problem in my own accounting for TOI or for any stock where I have sold at a value more than I paid for it. (Nice problem to have!). But how to I account for its growth.

Or more specifically, how do you account for its growth? I would like to be able to judge its performance. Questrade always seems to have a non-zero purchase price though it seems a bit arbitrary.

Q: Could I have your opinion on NWH?
1) What do you think of the concept (healthcare facilities)
2) why was there a big drop a couple years ago, and has this been resolved or still an issue
3) what is the payout percentage and debt level
4) how are distributions taxed (I’m looking for ROC)
5) buy up to 2% or just stay away

Thank-you

Q: After a quiet year, P&C Insurance stocks are showing some buyers' interest, over past 2 months. We sold IFC and FFH positions, late last year. Do you think, the sector is showing some strength and it is a good time to re enter ?

If Yes, what would be your preferred route- Fairfax or Intact and why ?

In my personal view, Fairfax stock has shown remarkable resilience vis-a-vis Intact and Co is more diversified, with several interesting investments like Foran mining, Orla mining etc and potential for more similar investments. ( They sold their position in Eurobank ).

Thank You

Q: CLBT has been somewhat frustrating.....seems, to my untrained eye, to be more volatile than one might expect and somewhat range bound without any significant overall improvement in its share price. Do you still view it favourably, and if so, why? Its financials are not readily seen; when does it next report and what are the expectations? Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Looking for a CDN $ etf covering uranium - including physical commodity, miners, and companies involved in associated technologies. URA seems to fit the bill but is traded in US $. Is HURA the same -? Looking at both websites, I get the impression there may be differences but it's not completely clear. Can you confirm that it is or is very similar ? If not, do you still feel it would be a good choice or would you recommend another CDN $ traded ETF ?
Many thanks as always.

Thanks

Q: Hi 5 i guys. Nice start to 2026!! I have a small position in Frontier Lithium that I bought back in the Lithium heydays about 3 or 4 years ago. Since it is a very small position in our portfolio and it is in a TFSA, so the tax loss would be of no use, I just kept it so we would have a little toe hold in the lithium sector. The last few days FL share price has been on a rip to the upside but I can't see any reason why. In the past few years I have not noticed a strong correlation between FL's share price and the price of lithium, which I attribute to the fact that FL is still just a proposed project so the current price of lithium does not effect earnings, because there are no earnings. Is there something on your radar that might give us long suffering FL share holders an idea as to why the shares are up sharply the past few days? Would you use this rip to the upside to get out of FL or should I wait to see if it keeps its upward momentum? It seems like someone (person or institution) is trying to get a position in FL, but it is above my pay grade to figure out why they want in on FL. Our only other position in the lithium sector is an equally small position in E3 in Alberta (It least on that one I got a double and sold half my position is what is left is the house's money!!

Q: Could you help me to understand ZCS.L - accumulating units - ie. the nature and merits of " accumulating units ".
From the BMO web-site , this ETF appears to be identical to ZCS -their S/T Corporate Bond ETF except that distributions are made only annually .
Is this correct ?
Is this the only difference ?
For someone who does not need / want the income from ZCS's monthly distribution but just some FI allocation , is this a better option ?
Chart suggests so .
And would it also be a better option in this respect than HBB which makes no distributions but has a much longer ( undesired ) duration ?
Thank-you for the clarifications
