Q: In January, you compared FFH to BN/BAM, saying, "If rates fall it may be able to make more deals, AND, its assets owned already may increase in value further." Do you still hold to this glass-half-full outlook, or should we be concerned that the (dominant) insurance side of FFH's business will be penalized for a lowered outlook?

Q: Do you have any views on Centrus Energy Corporation (LEU:US)? Its price has risen rapidly with uranium prices this fall but it still seems to be reasonably priced. It appears to be the only company that enrichse uranium in North America and would appear to be a vital part of the nuclear energy future.

Q: Hi 5i,
I've searched the miscellaneous question category back to early September and, surprisingly, haven't seen this or a related question:
It appears the chances of a Trump win in 10 days' time are at least 50/50. He has said he will impose 10-20% tariffs on everything the US imports. He has said he will look at the USMCA agreement, which could mean he'll just tear it up. There's no real reason to think he won't do the things he says he's going to do, and he may well do a whole bunch more, economically and trade related, that he hasn't talked about. Whatever actually transpires, his economic policy is likely to be very disruptive, both in the US and abroad. As Canada's largest trading partner (although we mean considerably less to the US, relatively speaking) the impacts could be significant here.
Do you agree the impact on Canada could be significant, what do you think the impact(s) might be and what, if anything, would you recommend a Canadian with a diversified portfolio of Canadian equities do to Trump proof the portfolio and reduce the shock?
Frankly, I'm worried ...
Thanks,
Peter

Q: Hello 5I, I am considering selling some of my ZSP(S&P500) ETF holdings, and rake some the profits and buy more Canadian index funds like the BMO ETF ZCN. Many financial experts feel that the SP 500 market is currently unsustainable and over priced.

Your thoughts in this matter would be appreciated.

Q: NVDA has 6 of 7 criteria for the definition of a bubble. Is there excessive exuberance in the AI space? More importantly are we in a bubble cause by excess hype and fear of missing out? Is NVDA in a similar situation as CSCO was a number of years ago with all mania surrounding it? Lastly, does NVDA really have an super moat that makes them near invincible, because would that not be the high of hubris…even the formidable Achilles had an exploitable weak spot and I wonder if there is a real danger NVDA & the AI space writ large has one too.
