Q: Hi Team,
after today's decline in DRX that seems overdone I am thinking to initiate a position in DRX. I am very tempted to sell my NFI stake and make the switch for shares of ADF Group. What would you think of the move and would you have any other suggestions to replace NFI in my Portfolio.

Q: I bought BIP.UN in a registered account about a year ago. Looking back, I would have been better to buy BIPC.

Looking forward ie over the long term, do you think that BIPC will continue to outperform on a total return basis?

Q: Hi there,

I’m a long term holder of NPI, of course it’s been very weak along with the renewable sector. Last several days it’s showing some life.

Is it just general movement with rest of the utilities in anticipation of lower interest rates or is there something else? Longer term HOLD ie. +3-5 years (also own CPX).

Thanks a lot!

Q: I wanted to push back a little on the last answer. You noted they have high debt. The release said they have over 200 million cash and no external debt. Also you referred to eps next year as dropping to 2020 levels. The company started in late 2022 and I see forecasts as growing. I do agree the sentiment is horrible and I believe it is tied to the short position and tactics. However I really think this is a great buying opportunity when this stops dropping and settles at an ridiculous level. I was hoping you would agree.

Q: Hi Team,
I do not own Tvk yet, mostly being hesitant that it would be tied to the oil and gas sector too much which is highly cyclical and I now mostly avoid resource stocks after being burned in the past. However Tvk has not fallen with the recent downturn in Canadian oil stocks. Still riding new highs daily here it seems. I guess my question is do you see a lag effect coming here in possible weakness coming for Tvk being that the oil sector is once again getting hit? Or is it diversified enough to completely avoid this? I am wondering if a better entry point might present itself down the road a quarter or 2? The
Thanks ,
Shane

Q: Is it possible for Sherritt to file bankruptcy due to debt and what would happen to assets/operations? Nickel prices have been poor. They have a complex asset structure entangled with Cuban businesses so it's not foreseeable to be bought out due to political risk but their large refinery in Fort Sask also poses a concern for environmental reclamation to the government.

Q: The Aug 1 2022 investment by Pepsi and the Aug 1 2024 management amendment and payout schedule seems foretelling. Am I reading into it?

I have a very small position today. Is it buyable today for growth and a possible total buyout by Pepsi?

Q: Can you recommend a few small cap. tech companies tied to AI that could have outsized gains due to their unique potential with higher but OK debt that may provide further leveraged gains with interest rate declines?

Q: This one year new ETF holds around 100 US small caps and tries to select the most profitable in the field thus ideally removing what many experts lament as the main issue with holding broadly the Russell 2000 namely the large number of high debt unprofitable companies therein. Would appreciate your view on the strategy, the managers, and the holdings of this ETF and of course any other comment. Thank you.
