Q: CSU has faced investor concerns recently, primarily due to the CEO’s resignation and rising competition in the AI space. However, I noted that two senior insiders purchased over $1 million worth of shares during the September decline. That typically signals confidence in the company’s fundamentals.

While AI competition is a valid concern, it may not be as disruptive as initially anticipated. The stock rebounded yesterday following the news, and I’ve initiated a position by acquiring one-third of my intended allocation.

Would be interested to hear your perspective on CSU’s outlook. Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter and team,
I would like your thoughts about Adobe who recently got a lot of downgrades from major investment houses of renown. Is AI going to affect their business to such extent? The same thing was said about Google a few months sho which lately rebounded quite nicely. Can they both be in the same boat? Thank you for your always interesting views. Adel

Q: A follow up question to Matt's question on WBI, are there any issues in investing in this company from a Canadian investor standpoint? You have mentioned implications for MLC's in past.

Q: Would like your opinion on this stock- seems like a massive move due to AI - is it sustainable or too late? I guess the short thesis isn't working ...

Q: Hi there, with such high interest in Chatterbox ( to be listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange on Oct 3) and with the QYOU being a majority shareholder, how should this affect the QYOU stock price going forward? Keeping in mind that India has banned Tik Tok and that Chatterbox is the "Tik Tok" of India.
Thank you,

Q: In preparation for Armageddon (debt crisis, China invades Taiwan), what commodity stocks or ETFs would you recommend to provide a hedge to an otherwise balanced portfolio?

Q: I own BRK but i want to reduce some USD exposure so i am thinking of moving to the Canadian hedged version.

1. Are there any concerns with that? I assume the return is just the BRK return removing currency fluctuations less hedging costs?
2. Do you know what the cost of the hedging is?
3. I see a few tickers (BRK.NE; BRK.TO)... why are there multiple and what is the best one?

Thank you.

Q: Goeasy has paid and increased dividends consistently for some 10 years. The payout ratios appear to be very reasonable and the growth has been strong. This seems like an enticing stock to carry in a dividend orientated portfolio. 5i has it in the growth portfolio. Why not in your income portfolio as well?

Just curious, Stephen S

Q: Thanks for this idea, Bloomberg Space profiled the satellite imagery industry as in high demand, especially in Europe:

"The rebranding comes during a lucrative year for Earth observation companies like Vantor and competitors like Planet Labs and BlackSky Technology. These firms have seen a spike in deals, revenue and stock prices as countries realize the need for real-time Earth observation data in an increasingly unstable and geopolitically tense world.

European nations in particular have been driving this demand as they seek to lessen their reliance on the US for space-based military capabilities. In March, President Donald Trump’s administration temporarily suspended satellite imagery sharing with Ukraine, which is used to inform the location of Russian troops and infrastructure damage during the war."
