Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: S&P500 forward p/e is over 20x (MAG7/tech influence), while equal-weight is likely more reasonable...how should we frame this? Apples to apples stay with the S&P benchmark for historical comparisons and say valuation is expensive? Looking at EW is more reassuring but is it rationalizing? Interested in your take...thanks

Q: Hello Team,
Do you have a preference between these for overall performance over the next couple of years, ie capital gain plus dividends and why. With LNG becoming a thing, I wonder if that swings it to TOU. Your comments would be appreciated. Also, what would you expect the total percent dividend going forward for TOU, including quarterly and special.
Thanks,
Barry

Q: I have a January 2026 call option on VRN.
As they are being taken over what happens to the option and any actions a holder would have to do ?
I am currently in a under water position and will most likely exercise if it goes positive to pick up the dividend differential.

Q: The ultimate falling knife and yet a pretty darn good company unless I misunderstand. Per your April 28 comment, waiting for things to settle was advised. It was around $420 then and down under $380 now and doesn't seem to have an obvious support level. At what point does this become a compelling buy where the downside is minor relative to the upside? Are we talking $300 floor and a return to all time highs as the upside?

Q: Re: Non-registered account. If a BUY transaction was done within the prior 30 days and now a PARTIAL SELL transaction is done resulting in a loss.....

QUESTION: Is the tax loss claimable or does the loss amount need to be considered superficial and added to the adjusted costbase of the remaining position? No further transactions would be contemplated for at least 30 days after the most recent PARTIAL SELL transaction.

Q: Hello 5i,
In response to Christopher's comment pertaining to Retirees - impending or current - another option would be to create that specific topic in the Forums. The forums have some extremely knowledgeable and helpful folks who contribute regularly and if members were directed to that venue, then perhaps even more folks could contribute with "real life, real time" input and share resource information, experiences, etc.
Cheers,
Mike
