Investment Q&A

Q: My financial holdings are TD, BNS, BMO, MFC and SLF. With the recent surge in the banks I am looking to rebalance back to a 50/50 split between banks and insurance companies. If you were to add a third insurance company, which would it be? Or should I add a non-bank/insurance company like BAM or X which is still classified as financial? I am only interested in large cap, dividend-paying stocks.

Q: Please comment on the proposed merger between DV and CTGO. What does this mean for existing DV shareholders? Is it a hold? Announced this morning and it is trading lower.

Q: Good morning,

My question is on Circular Deals in AI investments:

Circular deals involve investment money flowing between companies that also buy from or sell to one another.
"A series of agreements negotiated among a small number of players in the artificial intelligence (AI) field is raising concerns about the potential risks of so-called circular deals." https://www.pon.harvard.edu/daily/dealmaking-daily/what-are-circular-deals/
Recently, OpenAI and NVDA reached a deal where OpenAI would receive up to $100 billion in investments from NVDA. This could be viewed as a circular deal, as OpenAI is likely to buy gear from NVDA, which will reinvest those profits in OpenAI, creating a cycle.
What are your thoughts on circular deals? In my view, such a deal could artificially inflate NVDA's revenues, potentially leading to a correction in the valuation of the companies involved. Is this practice proper or legitimate? These deals aren't only between these two companies, it appears to be widespread.

Thanks. I appreciate your all the videos that you provide: The Exponent, Monthly Rollup etc.
Seasons Greetings.

Q: Hi Peter
I'm curious if you recall your days at Sprott and before, specifically late 1999 and then 2007-2008. Did you get a feeling that the markets were overvalued (or had gone up too much too fast)? Did you make any defensive moves by taking profits, going to more conservative holdings, using options to protect downside, etc?
To me it looks like the conditions are ripe for similar declines.
Thanks, Greg

Q: I receive DKAM quarterly newsletter. These 5 stocks (MDA,PRL,VHI, ZDC and E) they are high on for various reasons for 2026. If you agree, which ones should I add to my TFSA and why?

Q: Hi Team,
The stock has fallen from C$293.53, a 5-year high to C$183.66 on 2025 Dec 5th. In the last report Q3 (2025 Sep 30) had increased revenue and profit and kept full year outlook. If someone is a long term investor, should he stay invested and add to the position (to take the advantage of weak market) or sell and deploy capital in some other Canadian Tech (only in Canadian company investment option). Your views about the company fundamental and future prospects based of AI fear in the market and not for any personal financial advice. Just to know as the fear of AI is really going to hit this company so bad?
Thanks
