Q: Hi There. Please correct me if I am wrong but I understand that Google, Microsoft and Amazon are stake holders of Anthropic. Can you please tell how much % ownership they have in Anthropic? Do you think this is a reasonable way of getting exposure to Anthropic? If yes, which stock if any would you purchase? Many thanks.

Q: Hello Team 5i & Everyone!
I occasionally listen to Lance Robert's posts. Today was one of those days and anyone worried about the software sector may find part of this video interesting to watch. He answers a question from his audience about A.I. and the sell off in software stocks at the 15 minute mark approximately.

Hamilton Utilities YIELD MAXIMIZER TM ETF (UMAX $13.44)
Q: UMAX has been going straight down since 2022. Time to let it go? I have individual utility stocks ( ACO.X, BIPC, BIP, BEP, CU, FTS,
H.TO ).
If so what dividend paying replacement would be suggested, or just keep it, or sell it and add to my winning covered call ETF's ( NXF, HDIV, HMAX, HYLD, IWO, NXF, QMAX, SMAX, VDC, VDY, XLY, ZQQ, ZRE, ZWE, ZWH.U)?
Healthy 80 year old value /dividend investor with stocks and ETF's in all sectors with an outlook of 5-10 YEARS (I hope).

TIA!

Q: Unless I am mistaken, I believe that CSU only reports GAAP earnings, yet every website I check seems to list their "adjusted" earnings. If this is in fact the case who exactly decides on these adjustments and comes up with the adjusted EPS figure?
Q: Fairfax Financial is down 14 percent YtD and it trades at a very low P/E around 8. What would stop you from making this a core holding when much of the market seems expensive?

Q: Tech stocks have been taking a beating recently and QMAX is feeling the pinch, down ~18% in the last three months. What price would you suggest as a good entry point?
Q: I have 8% cash in my portfolio after I sold all my CSU in December. I would like some suggestions as to what AI related stocks to purchase.
Q: Hi,
Hopefully this question is general enough to not be considered personal advice!
I've done very well with Zedcor and Kraken (thank you!). You often mention their high valuations. I wouldn't mind taking some profits to put elsewhere.
Given the recent sharp decline (especially Kraken), would you say it's still richly valued enough to sell a bit? Or might it be better to wait for a rebound, given its volatility?

Q: I have owned this for a few years now. I had to be patient but you seemed to hold it in favour throughout.
I thought my patience was rewarded with good growth in 2025, but over the past few months, it has lost all that growth.
Can you explain what has been going on?
I'm also low in healthcare in my portfolio. This seems like a good time to redress that. What would be your top three buys for a long term holding? Do you generally prefer companies or ETFs for this sector?
Thanks for all the great work you provide. I was happy to renew recently.

Q: Other than the price, what is the difference between these two ETF’s? What would a complimentary ETF which does not sell covered calls be?
