Q: Good Morning,

Our RESP for my 13-year-old daughter is currently valued at about $42k. It is comprised of 25% Google, 25% AMD, 25% DSG, 13% Apple, and 12% VMD. Wondering if you could please give me a few ideas for another stock or ETF (Canadian or American) that I might add to this mix, as I will be contributing another $6K soon. Thanks. Brad

Q: Could you please tell me what is the risk of buying this preferred today? I believe it resets in Sept 2027. Rates will likely be lower then, but what would the yield and price look like then relative to today's value and rate. I'm looking for USD income but with a dividend tax credit benefit. Any other suggestions (MG, NTR, QSR?) instead of this strategy? Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
Just had a look at ATS balance sheet which your report on Sept 5th suggested had improved. Can you help me understand how the more than doubling of "goodwill and other intangibles" which in march of 2020 were $800+million, compared to march 2023 were $1.7 billion will impact the company going forward? How did "intangible" assets grow so much and does this typically inflate assets on the Balance Sheet? Total debt in that time frame has also doubled. With reporting due next week(?) is there anything else you can shed light on for we shareholders?
Does ATS usually meet or miss on numbers?
TIA,

Q: TEAM has a lot of people selling. I am still hanging on to it, but due to the amount of people selling, I think most people sell and buy a stock with more up side i.e. Alphabet, NVDA, MSFT, etc. which in the long run will probably be a better move than waiting for TEAM to bottom out and recover. What is your take on this? Thanks again.

Q: Hi,

Total return, long term investor with a diversified portfolio. I have a tiny position in BAM that I either want to add to or sell. If I sell, I could put the proceeds into BN.

Does it make sense to consolidate into BN or to build a bigger position in BAM? Which is likely to have the best total return over the next few years?

Thank you, Michael

Q: Adding my two cents on the recent interest in direct registered DRIP programs, I would like to highlight the fact that some companies offer a direct share purchase program as well. Depending on the company, there may or may not be fees. I have several direct holdings and have found the ability to send a small cheque to add to my holdings as funds become available to be quite beneficial over time; especially with respect to the companies that permitted this with no transaction cost.
