Q: Can you please rank the quality of these U.S. Consumer Staple stocks with regards to the increasing of their respective dividends going forward as well as the rebounding of their business when sentiment turns favourable towards this sector?

Q: Hey 5i, these consumer staple stocks have basically done nothing over the last 10yrs. They used to be a place to go when you were concerned about market pricing with a little growth and a dividend. Have things fundamentally changed or is everyone just obsessing over AI and technology and forgetting this sector. Also is there anything buyable in the sector with some growth and a dividend.

Q: Good Morning Everyone,

I’ve heard a stat that claims that ~80% of the returns since “liberation day” have come from 10 stocks. (MAG 7, PLTR, ORCL, AVGO)
Is this true? Is this unusual?

May I have 10 each of your favourite CAN and US value stocks to look at please?

Thank you!

Q: I understand JNJ resold the rights to purrell to gojo a while back. This company I understand is private. Is there a publicly held company that manufactures hand sanitizer. It is hard to find any anywhere and I imagine when found the price will have gone up dramatically. Maybe an investable theme?
