Q: In looking at old emails/threads on 5i research I see there’s been nothing in the past year for these two companies

What are your thoughts with these two companies with the recent gold prices and holdings for the next year?

Q: I was given the above five ETFs from a friend to consider adding to my portfolio. I assume the criteria of ranking the ETFs are the same as stocks, so I would like your recommendation on how you would rank these five. Also which ones amongst them five are the ones that you would strongly recommend that I should/"must" own.

Thank you.

Q: So many members ask questions where they ask you to rank a number of companies which they suggest. Let me change that up a. bit. Please rank the top 10 Canadian companies that YOU think have the best chance of yielding the highest returns for 5i members In 2026. Perhaps an unfair question but I"m curious.

Q: The State of the Union address by Trump is on Feb 24th in the evening. The Supreme Court will release decisions on Feb 20, 24 and 25, and these are the last dates until July 2026. I predict they will wait until after the State of the Union address because Supreme Court judges attend the State of the Union, and they don't need Trump criticizing them in public and will release their decision on Feb 25th. If they decide the tariffs are unconstitutional, which sectors might be the winners?

Q: Just a comment, I'm sure I'm not alone in this situation. All down 30-45% in my TFSA. I hate it when it feels like everybody is wrong and you and a few others think you are right, or are we? It feels like Armagedon. Been there before. It's not fun but they now only represent 5% of my portfolio so I will survive but my TFSA will take a huge hit this year.

Q: Well after 50 years in the market, what have i learnt.
Never fall in LOVE with a stock, protect your capital, sell a portion of a stock when you have made your cost back. Thinking that you are up say 50% in a stock, you have not made a PENNY until you SELL. Investors have a thing in there head that is called GREED, i can make more on this stock. I can name all kind of stocks in say 5i that clients would be very happy if they would of taken some profits a couple of months ago. It takes a long time to make up a 50% loss.
Thanks Again
