Q: Hi,
I recently heard a suggestion to broaden out of the S&P 500 given its large run up. the presenter suggested value small caps. I hadn't heard of them before. what are they?
what do you think of this presenter's suggestion?
how do they differ from the Russell 2000?
if there an ETF based in CAD?
how have them done in comparison to IWO or IWM?
thanks
Mary

Q: Good day,

Based on my last question, Your order was

____________________
We would rank, today: GOOG, ISRG, SHOP, AEM, CROX, ATD, WPM, LUG, ATS, NTR, TMDX, CELH, BCE, GAU
____________________

These were my proposed and current holdings. My investment account is not unlimited, and many of my "concerning holdings" are in the bottom half of the list, and although they are currently 5i holds, would 5i get out of them to initiate positions in more lucrative opportunities?

IE, would 5i move CELH, TMDX, ATS, and CROX to the "sell" column if it meant being able to initiate positions in GOOG, ISRG, SHOP, and AEM?


Thanks for everything!

Q: I am an income investor. I try and purchase equities who raise their dividend by approximately at least the rate of inflation. I hold both BCE and Telus. Given the announcement today by BCE that they will not be raising their dividend in 2025, what are your thoughts on selling Telus and purchasing BCE simply due to the spread in their yields in order to pick up the higher BCE dividend as sort of a proxy to make up for the lack of an expected increase?

Q: As a follow up to my previous question on OTEX, I would also ask that you comment on analysts downgrades related to OTEX moving towards organic growth and away from growth by acquisition. Isn’t this simply a function of its low stock price relative to earnings and cash flow? If a growth-by acquisition company like CSU bought OTEX then it would be immediately accretive to earnings because CSU trading at a high PE multiple. The same analysts would applaud CSU for its ability to grow by acquisition and call the stock a buy. I am not saying that CSU is a bad company, far from it, but I am wondering if analysts would better serve investors by focusing more on the organic growth of a company and not on what it might acquire in the future.

Q: Hello,

It seems that BCE is taking a page out of the BNS book by purchasing a US asset and freezing their dividend.

In the case of BNS they enhanced their credibility, in my mind, and I bought more and it is up substantially - thank you.

In the BCE case, this stunt has undermined my faith in their judgement towards dividend holders.

How does any co., let alone a highly indebted co., operating in a very competitive environment sustain a 10% dividend?

They are in the doghouse now - if they bite the bullet and cut the dividend in half they save $2B p.a. to pay towards debt reduction.

I can't see any reason why not at this point.
