Q: This stock has experienced significant value decline over the past several years. Based on the most recent results and forecast, I’m becoming concerned about the long-term prospects for the company.

1) While I’m willing to hold through a downturn, I’m considering whether it makes sense to maintain my position or exit.

2) The company continues to increase its annual dividend and execute share buybacks. However, I question whether these actions meaningfully improve EPS compared to reducing debt. Is this a case of short-term investor appeasement, or would the market penalize a shift toward debt reduction?

Can I please get your thoughts on the company and the EPS question. Much appreciated.

Q: How should we interpret the 'Best Stock Idea' list of stocks - say for example Blackline Safety. It is not in any of the portfolios (unless I missed that) and it doesn't show up in answers to questions about best stocks for growth, return from large drops etc.

Are the 'Best Stocks' just new ideas but not necessarily ones with large conviction from 5i?

Curious to get more insight into this section. Thx.

Q: I have a $50K bond maturing next week in a non-registered account and plan to re-deploy the cash amongst the six equity holdings already in that account for long term hold. Are there any amongst the group that I should hold-off on, or are there any that I should over-weight?

Q: Hello 5i
I have no direct exposure to Europe by design.
I believe it is time to change that.
Do you believe the European markets could continue to perform well?
What is your favorite ETF for this exposure?
Thank you
