Q: A follow up to Mark's question on Oct 2nd regarding buying the Canadian Big Banks, you mentioned that you would not need to buy the banks in a portfolio. Can you elaborate and explain the thought process. Also how would you allocate a portfolio in terms of weighting in such a scenario.

Q: NVDA has been kind of left in the dust this year, up "only" 39%. LRCX, though, is up 90%, WDC is up 185% and SEA is up 190%. All good for me since I own all four but I'm wondering why the market seems to have turned away from NVDA. Especially in the last month, SEA and WDC are up 48% and 58% respectively, in the last thirty days.

Q: I have a glass half-full CSU question.

The valuation of CSU has compressed due to concerns about AI and CEO departure for health reasons. What about the valuation of the thousands of smaller companies that CSU targets for acquisition? Will these much smaller companies undergo even greater AI related valuation compression, and offer truly excellent, perhaps generational, opportunities for CSU to acquire? I would think that if small software companies are worried about loosing to AI, it would become a buyers market and CSU could selectively capitalize on the opportunity.

Appreciate your thoughts. Thanks

Q: If you were an income investor and wanted to invest in each of the 5 big banks, given current valuations and yield, what percentage of the money you have marked for investing in banks would you allocate to each?

Q: CSU has faced investor concerns recently, primarily due to the CEO’s resignation and rising competition in the AI space. However, I noted that two senior insiders purchased over $1 million worth of shares during the September decline. That typically signals confidence in the company’s fundamentals.

While AI competition is a valid concern, it may not be as disruptive as initially anticipated. The stock rebounded yesterday following the news, and I’ve initiated a position by acquiring one-third of my intended allocation.

Would be interested to hear your perspective on CSU’s outlook. Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter and team,
I would like your thoughts about Adobe who recently got a lot of downgrades from major investment houses of renown. Is AI going to affect their business to such extent? The same thing was said about Google a few months sho which lately rebounded quite nicely. Can they both be in the same boat? Thank you for your always interesting views. Adel

Q: Hello 5i,

I wanted to ask you about Renewables as i have nothing in that segment. Is there 1 particular renewable company you like/prefer (BEP-UN-T?) over others or would you suggest the better option would be a renewable ETF?

Always appreciate your assistance and insight.
