Q: What do you think about the concept of AI, with the corollaries of ‘vibe-coding’ and lowered barriers to software creation, affecting the above businesses?
I hear an increasing number of guests on CNBC and posts on X predicting the ‘death of SaaS’ because of this.
The above companies all benefit from perceived niche software, and charge fees that reflect this. Is niche software not going to be so hard to penetrate in the future by new, cheaper entrants?
And will this actually have to happen to affect the share prices of the above at some point, but just the expectation of it happening? Thx.

Q: Wesdome reported recently n the stock was hit pretty hard vs performance of peers today. Their Results didn’t look bad to me. Is it expectations in this sector?

Whilst there looks to be some rotation of money out of the biggest players into mid cap Gold Miners lately Wesdome doesn’t look to be a recipient of that. Any thoughts on this trend n if so do u see opportunity to rotate some Capital outta AEM into any smaller players today n if so your preferences?

Q: Question for Peter only.

After going through multiple recessions, depressions and big drops in the market do you or your cohorts have a reasonable guess when the next one may occur and what would cause it?

The day, month & year it might happen?

How big a drop percentage wise?

How long will it last?

Would Ai be able to come up with an answer to this?

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i team,

I'm confused about PRL's dividend sustainability due to negative free cash flow (−$57M in 2024 and −$3.7M in Q2 2025) and high leverage (112% D/E). Your March 2024 report assigned a B+ rating and positive outlook might be because of strong revenue growth (38.68%) and high ROI (30.33%), but didn’t address these cash flow issues. What am I missing? Is there something in their business model or cash flow timing that supports dividend sustainability?

Best,
Matt

Q: In 2025 June, it was confirmed by AGM that PKI is being acquired by SUN:N for US$9.1-bil. SUN:N was offering C$44 or C$19.80 = 0.295 SUN:N units. At of today PKI:T is trading around C$38/-. Do you think that SUN:N will pay C$44 once the transaction related formalities is completed or its better to sell now as the price of C$44 might be lower. Your views appreciated.
Thanks

Q: Hi Guys
Thanks for all of your great work. I asked a question a couple days ago and accidentally hit “private question”.
You accidentally sent me an answer to someone else’s question.
I’m looking for your top 10 stocks for a TFSA and 10 for non registered account for 5 to 10 yr hold. Moderate risk for a semi retired couple. Also, I’ve held CGXF.TO and was wondering if a 5-10 % allocation in the non registered account is something you feel is fine.
Thanks!
