Q: Comment on: Question asked by Adam on November 09, 2025:

... Is there financial planning software available to DIY investors that you have used yourself or heard is good that can be used to to model some of these different scenarios in an attempt to minimize taxes and maximize the value of their after tax portfolio?

Summary: Financial planning software I've tried/used to manage our large DIY recently converted to RRIF portfolio.

- Adviice: My go-to app for DIY planning for simplicity and shared access with my financial planner
- MoneyReadyApp: Generates plans similar to financial planners ($$$), but requires serious effort and good financial knowledge
- Wealthica: Basic
- WealthScope: Wealthica add-ons for deeper analysis - Good
- Zigma: Could not import from TD WebBroker
- ShareSight: Could not import from TD WebBroker

Q: I have held GSY for many years, and watched as it grew and grew. This sudden crash to about $20 strikes fear into me. Can this be just the work of a short seller report, or is there something fundamentally broken at GSY? Or do you really think this is one helluva good time to buy a pot full of GSY?
Keep up the good work. Wish me luck, or at least sensisble investing.

Q: Why is stock down 5% today, after decent earnings ?

The most severe downgrades seem to come from Jefferies ( $4500 from $5850 and RJ ( $4300 from $5250), although most other analysts have made only moderate changes.

As you mentioned in your comments, stock has seen the largest drawdown in its history, now almost 40%, from its high, on the back of AI related concerns and CEO stepping down.

Do you foresee any meaning recovery/catalysts, over next 12 months, or it would be prudent to lighten up based on its horrible technicals ?

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i team,

Do you think software can serve as a hedge against AI? If that's the case, and since they are mostly down, is it a good idea to start accumulating? Please provide some solid names in Canada (I have CSU family), the US, and internationally.

Best,
Matt

Can you give me a 1 (low)-10 (high) ranking on these as to which you BUY/ADD right now for a 3-5 year horizon?

Thanks.

Q: FEEDBACK Re Timelines for answering questions.

I have been a happy 5i’er almost since Day 1. Lucky me. A very rewarding experience…. perfect , maybe not - but I haven’t found a better service or something at lower price for 5i services.

Over the years and given all the questions I have asked, my recollection is that having to wait longer than 36 hours has been amazingly rare. And none of my questions have ever been lost.

Maybe I am just lucky …but my experience has so positive. Thank you.

So call me Happy Camper.
