Q: Can you please give your opinion on Sherritt's Q4 and year end result.
It looks like it lost money in Q4, but made money in the full year. The stock went down anyway.
Thank You

Q: All losers but long term investor. Would you rank them which are buyable to add to, hold or throw in the towel. Looking for 25% plus return in a 3-5 years horizon. Which fit the bill in your opinion. The best will be kept longer.

Thanks Yves

Q: I have US investments that pay a dividend some are stocks, some are LPs, and some trusts. I have just come across with holding taxes that are higher than I thought they were.

Where can I find details of how these are taxed for a Canadian holder.

Q: I’m looking to diversify a small portfolio in a TFSA by purchasing ‘some’ ETF’s with reasonable distributions and not too much risk to capital, the idea being that this is a growing ‘rainy day fund’. The most attractive ones, to me, involve at least some U.S. investments. I’m sure that the first thing you would say is that you are not tax experts. With that said, do you think that XHY’s income would be subject to the U.S. Witholding tax? And following that do you know of any online sources that list the tax implications of specific ETF’s re. Withholding tax? The most that ETF providers might say on their sites is that an ETF is TFSA/RSP eligible
.
I recognize that the tax does not rule out the utility of an investment. When would you ignore its’ presence for an investment? A long-winded question.

Q: Can I get your thoughts on Steris’ recent quarterly results? Is the drop in price overdone in your view?
Thanks.

Q: Why the drop recently?

What are its forward multiples vs peers?

Q: significance of wild trading.

Q: Hi, can you give me your thoughts on some Cyber security stocks?
Is now a good time to be edging into these stocks or should I be waiting for a pullback everyone seems to say is coming soon?
I'm thinking of starting a position in either Crowdstrike or Palo Alto. Which would you recommend or do you have others you would prefer?
Thanks
Harry

Q: Hi 5i Team -My question is actually more on the future of AI. In an answer to a recent question on Google, you mentioned that the company is investing heavily in AI. In your opinion is this a concern? From current information and articles it seems that AI has its flaws and maybe even ethical questions around some of its applications. Could you please provide me with your outlook on AI, its strengths and weaknesses, and specifically how this might affect an investment in Google - and other companies that are investing in this technology. It's Friday night so there's no need to respond until sometime next week. Have a good weekend!

Q: Hi,

I'm looking for a CDN growth/tech ETF and I was astonished to kind TLF has a dividend of 6.5%?? And TXF has a dividend of 15.6%?? Is this true and is it safe?

I don't understand why growth ETFs would have dividends like this? Of the 3 ETFs mentioned, which would you recommend?

Q: Hello 5 iteam,

Rogers Sugar was a good pick for us, may be the timing was right. Now, It is time for us to trade it for another company that have a bit more growth. Your thought on swapping this name for Maple Leaf Foods /Tyson Foods or Calmaine/ Saputo.

Q: Aehr Test System (AEHR) recently announce offering of common shares $25 million of shares. In a sense, for this offering, the working capital will be increase by $25 millions. But the total number of shares outstanding will be increase by $25 millions. In the short term, there is $25 million of shares available for sale.
My question,
(1) Is my understanding of what I said above is correct?
(2) what do you think, why a company raise money At-the-Market instead of through the dealer of slot sale to the public.
(3) what do you think, the impact on share price short term and long term.

Q: Hi,
I am pretty confident that I am correct! But wanted to make sure.

I need to help our adult "child" to buy a place. (Bidding wars have disappeard and some sense of normalcy has returned. Prices are still at least 10% higher than normal I would say!)

If I take 10,000 out of my TFSA, on January 01 2024, I can put in 10,000+6500=16500. Correct? Assuming in 2024 TFSA contribution remains at 6500.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Q: I currently own Aqn and bep.un and would like to ad another Canadian $ stock for a 2 to 3 year hold. Could you please give recommendations and reasoning? Thank you.

Q: Hi folks ... 2 questions:

I recently bought a 1/3 position in GXE. It's up 10% since. Is there any reason not to add another 1/3 at this time?

Is your current view on ATZ as positive as ever? Is this a good entry point?

Thanks for a great service.

David
