Q: I bought this ETF in January 2025 thinking that the Trump administration would be good for the financial sector. I am down 7+% and the ETF is down almost 13% YTD. My logic dosn't appear to be all that logical! What do you think of this ETF? Buy, sell, hold? Any better suggestion?

Q: I am having difficulty understanding what benefits will accrue to a) Tomson or b) shareholders as a result of the return of capital being proposed by Tomson together with the corresponding share consolidation. I have never considered a reverse split to be a positive sign for a company's future. Why is deal any different?
Q: I’ve been putting some money into oil and gas stocks and energy service names over the last couple of weeks. That was a timely blog post on EFX yesterday, and my question relates to that company and PSI. Given the current elevated oil price environment, do you have a preference between the two (this question bakes in an assumption that you still like PSI, given that it’s in the portfolio, but correct me otherwise), or do you view them as complementary enough that owning both would be appropriate? If you do favour one over the other, please explain why.

Q: Hi. I asked this question yesterday but I don't think it went through.
I saw an interview with Prof. Janice Stein and Rudyard Kipling from the Munk School. Ms. Stein seems convinced that there is going to be significant supply shocks and oil at $175/barrel as a result of the war with Iran. If this is true, what stocks/sectors from your model portfolios are the best to hold and the best to stay on the sidelines until this mess is resolved?

Q: In response to a recent question on companies worth considering, 5i suggested ATD, CSU and CNR. I have 'some basic understanding' of ATD's and CNR's business, strengths, and financials. Just now taking an initial look at CSU, and wondering, how does a company with a P/E ratio (using 2025 EPS) of roughly 100, more debt than equity, and a negligible dividend rate so highly in today's uncertain environment?
Q: I bought ATRL late last year. For a while it was gaining bit by bit. Now it is losing steam. It looks as if it should be a good buy. What do you think?
