Q: I am looking for a safe haven for cash. ZTL bond ETF appears to do well in a market downturn. Your opinion on it, and any other suggestions?

Q: Which would you pick and why? how long of a term would you leave your investment? Thanks

Q: Which companies (CAN/ US) and/or ETFs would you recommend to buy today for the best exposure to AI? This would be for an 80 year old investor who wants to allocate 8% of his portfolio to AI.
Thank you for your guidance.

Q: Hope all is well! Can you please walk me through the PSTH SPAC? From my understanding, units were originally sold at $20 and each unit consists of one share of common stock and a warrant for one-ninth of a share. With PSTH now at $25.40, if the market hates their proposed deal can you walk me through downside scenarios?
If shareholders vote down the eventual deal or there is no deal before deadline can you redeem for $20 and have a max loss of $5.40?
Is it correct to assume that the only way to lose more than $5.40 would be if the market doesn’t like the deal, shareholders still approve the deal ($20 floor goes away) and then the stock drifts lower on the back of company prospects?
I am interested because of Ackman involvement and the high implied vol on the shares in the options market. I am considering various bullish strategies (selling puts, risk reversals and covered calls) but just trying to develop a clear understanding of downside risks if the market hates their deal, shareholders vote down the deal or no deal happens.
I see the $23 strike warrants trading for around $9.20 with an 07/24/2025 expiration date, do only original unitholders get warrants or will unitholders that buy today and hold through a deal get a warrant for every 9 shares?
Thanks for your guidance!

Q: Just a note regarding those posters worried about the share price decline, it is noted today that the Company bought back approx 1M shares since November 10. Spent about 20M.

Q: My wife and I both have DC pension plans with our respective employers (with company matching), and generally buy into low-cost index funds that are available to us.

We each also have LIRAs (with pension funds from our previous employers), and for these buckets of funds we would like to buy mutual funds to benefit from good quality active management. MAW150 and DYN245 are two funds that have jumped out to us - if we were to buy these two funds alone, would a 50/50 split in each of our LIRAs be reasonable, in terms of diversification (both sector and geographic allocation)? We would be looking to buy and hold for a long period of time (~20 years).

Q: What are your thoughts on Pacific Gas & Electric now that it has exited bankruptcy after the wildfires caused by their equipment?
I see a new CEO, new board and was interested to see that it is now David Tepper's largest position at Appaloosa, Dan Loeb's largest position at Third Point and Baupost just made it a top ten position. Is this a good rebound play as California's largest utility? Thanks

Q: I submitted a question on this company, previously known as CB2 Insights (ticker: CBII), but not sure if it’s still in the queue or got missed. Sending it again just in case.

What are your thoughts on their recent earnings report and overall outlook?

Their primary business currently is providing subscription healthcare. I find it interesting that they’re a Canadian company running clinics entirely in the US. They claim profits are much easier to attain with US clinics as they don’t need to share revenue with the physicians. The doctors are only paid a salary.

Q: Hi there
When you took ENGH out of model portfolio I bought OTEX which has outperformed it by quite a bit in the last 3 years. I still really like ENGH too and it has come off quite a bit lately. I am wondering looking out another 3 years which you would prefer, in terms of current valuation and prospects, if you could just buy one of these stocks. And your rationale.

Much thanks

Stuart

Q: Can you comment on recent results. They seem to be great considering the environment.

Q: Nice to see DCBO is listing in the US. Are there other publicly traded companies in the US in the same space? Trying to get a sense of any valuation gaps between those companies and DCBO? LSPD was well received in the US so hoping DCBO catches a similar welcome.

Q: Hi 5i team,
The market is not very impressed with either CRM’s guidance and/or purchase of WORK. This pits CRM directly against MSFT in the work collaboration space. Is this a wise move by CRM? Is this a good entry point for CRM or is MSFT the better long-term bet?
Thanks again for the insight.
Dave
