Q: Good Morning,
I currently hold a small position in SMCI at the break even point. I’m considering selling SMCI and adding VRT or ISRG for a solid growth name. Is this a move that you would endorse, and if so, which one would you choose at current levels. Feel free to include any alternative names if you see fit.
Thank you,

Q: I just read the third quarter results. The market reaction is horrible. It looks like its going to drop 30 percent at opening. My issue is I didn't see any red flags. Growth target is on track. The only negative was a drop in gross margin which was explained. Should I buy on the dip once the price stabilizes.

Q: Hello 5i team,
In light of ANRG slowly going back up, I am curious what the underlying problems were with the company? Ultimately it always comes down to too much debt, but that is only a result. Was it bad management or simply a bad high capital idea (converting waste to fuel). Looking at the recent new money being put in (Marny/insider purchases) it seems people are still confident in this company.

Are there other companies in this space that have actually succeeded in doing this?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: Good morning 5i team

TD's Oct. 10 news release regarding reaching a resolution of Anti-Money Laundering issues with US regulators stated, among other things that

"The total assets of TD's two U.S. banking subsidiaries (TD Bank, NA and TD Bank USA, NA) ("US Bank") cannot exceed US$434 billion (total assets as at September 30, 2024)"

I could not see any reference to how long this limitation applies. Does 5i know how long the limitation is to be in place?

What is 5i's view of the impact of this restriction on TD's ability to grow its overall company, broadly speaking, over the next few years?

Thank you

Thank you

Q: There are a few parts to this question...
I'm bullish on Bitcoin longterm and think it will appreciate well in the coming year or so and overall in the next few years (despite still being volatile).
If one were to borrow and invest in a non registered account:

1. Can you write off the interest expense if you buy Bitcoin from an exchange and hold in cold storage?

2. If you buy an etf -and can write off the interest expense- what are the trade offs in buying a spot etf (FBTC) vs. a yielding etf (BTCY.B)?
My thought is the monthly dividend payment on a yielding product would be about twice the interest expense in this case so that would be a benefit over the spot etf if there's sideways price action or bitcoin volatility. Can you comment on the basic tax implications of this plan as well as the investment plan. All things considered would it be preferable to own the spot etf? Any other thoughts or suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks very much
