Q: I am glad I bought a few thousand shares of frontier lithium in 2022. The seem to have a claim with various lithium deposits at or near surface. It is a big bonus that the claim is not far from the all-weather road and power lines that Ontario has built with that project to connect 16 or 17 first nations to the main power grid. Combining what looks like very good lithium deposits, in a safe, mining friendly jurisdictions with some mayor infrastructure not far away makes for an interesting investment. The chart on FL has gone almost vertical the past couple of weeks. I have not checked the volume and I am aware that the entire lithium sector has been strong lately, but is there something extra on your radar that can explain this rapid ascent in share price and if not, should I take some profits?

Q: Too good to be true alert: Can HMAX consistently deliver a 13% return using call options? This is near triple the yield on some of the big six bank stocks. It's hard to believe that a 13% return can be consistently delivered. Doesn't seem real. What might the downside be to owning this vehicle? Thank you!

Q: All losers but long term investor. Would you rank them which are buyable to add to, hold or throw in the towel. Looking for 25% plus return in a 3-5 years horizon. Which fit the bill in your opinion. The best will be kept longer.

Thanks Yves

Q: I’m looking to diversify a small portfolio in a TFSA by purchasing ‘some’ ETF’s with reasonable distributions and not too much risk to capital, the idea being that this is a growing ‘rainy day fund’. The most attractive ones, to me, involve at least some U.S. investments. I’m sure that the first thing you would say is that you are not tax experts. With that said, do you think that XHY’s income would be subject to the U.S. Witholding tax? And following that do you know of any online sources that list the tax implications of specific ETF’s re. Withholding tax? The most that ETF providers might say on their sites is that an ETF is TFSA/RSP eligible
.
I recognize that the tax does not rule out the utility of an investment. When would you ignore its’ presence for an investment? A long-winded question.

Q: Hi, can you give me your thoughts on some Cyber security stocks?
Is now a good time to be edging into these stocks or should I be waiting for a pullback everyone seems to say is coming soon?
I'm thinking of starting a position in either Crowdstrike or Palo Alto. Which would you recommend or do you have others you would prefer?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Team -My question is actually more on the future of AI. In an answer to a recent question on Google, you mentioned that the company is investing heavily in AI. In your opinion is this a concern? From current information and articles it seems that AI has its flaws and maybe even ethical questions around some of its applications. Could you please provide me with your outlook on AI, its strengths and weaknesses, and specifically how this might affect an investment in Google - and other companies that are investing in this technology. It's Friday night so there's no need to respond until sometime next week. Have a good weekend!

Q: Aehr Test System (AEHR) recently announce offering of common shares $25 million of shares. In a sense, for this offering, the working capital will be increase by $25 millions. But the total number of shares outstanding will be increase by $25 millions. In the short term, there is $25 million of shares available for sale.
My question,
(1) Is my understanding of what I said above is correct?
(2) what do you think, why a company raise money At-the-Market instead of through the dealer of slot sale to the public.
(3) what do you think, the impact on share price short term and long term.

Q: Hi,
I am pretty confident that I am correct! But wanted to make sure.

I need to help our adult "child" to buy a place. (Bidding wars have disappeard and some sense of normalcy has returned. Prices are still at least 10% higher than normal I would say!)

If I take 10,000 out of my TFSA, on January 01 2024, I can put in 10,000+6500=16500. Correct? Assuming in 2024 TFSA contribution remains at 6500.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Mano.

Q: Hi folks ... 2 questions:

I recently bought a 1/3 position in GXE. It's up 10% since. Is there any reason not to add another 1/3 at this time?

Is your current view on ATZ as positive as ever? Is this a good entry point?

Thanks for a great service.

David
