Q: Hello Team and good Family Day for the ones in Ontario,
Apart from the market fixation now on overspending on AI which costs a bundle and may not generate more profit, I read somewhere an analyst making a parallel between GE (pre-separation in 3 separate entities) and the 3 members of the Mag 7 listed above. He says they may be going the way GE did when the market started pricing conglomerates the way it did for the last 15 years which consequently brought GE to a very low multiple. What did it for GE, he says, was being involved in different and unrelated businesses, for one, and one strong entity pulling the weight of costly money losing members for another. He says it is also true especially in the AMZN and GOOG cases. What do you think? As always thanks for your strong insight, Adel.

What do you think of VIC 200? What makes it different from an ETF and would you recommend it for someone looking for lo-volatility broad market exposure? is there a better alternative?
Q: Came across this gold company from an article in The New Money which I read occasionally! What are your thoughts on this 1.6 Billion market cap co.
Is this a possible 10 bagger down the road?
Thanx as Usual

Q: Any comments on the Indian market, or lack thereof? Is it a good investment going forward? It looks like the biggest ADRs there are the banks. Their economy looks to have good long term prospects.
Q: I'm moving away from 30 equities to and few ETFs. What do you think of a portfolio made up of SPY 30%, XIC 30%, VIU 20%, and VAB 20%? Or would you rather XEQT 80% and VAB 20%?
Q: Our current Federal government seems to think oil pipelines are the answer to preserving Canadian independence, however as Adam Posen of the Peterson Institute points out, Canada has no internet pipes that don't run through the U.S., its satellites, or cables. Which of course means we have no access to the internet without U.S. permission. What Canadian companies would benefit if the government decided to invest in a Canadian owned and operated internet?
Q: Their latest acquisition seemed to be a good move into the drone data recovery space and with their latest earnings growth and strong business model (eg. getting paid their subscriptions for the gov't upfront to provide upfront cash) and growing focus on non-government areas (eg. military or private sector w/ the Corellium acquisition) what am I missing with this company? Why are investors staying away and creating such volatility when results are good.
Q: TFII reports later today. Could you provide quick summary and thoughts on the earnings after reporting today. Based on results and commentary, may be time to buy.

Q: As a part of the Constellation Software (VMS Ventures) portfolio, is Raia AI looking primarily to build a standalone platform for external customers, or is its main goal to act as the internal 'AI engine' that automates operations for all of Constellation’s 1,000+ niche software companies?
Q: Hi,
TS has sent out a notice of a class action settlement of 11 million, less around 3 million in legal fees, etc. You need to have invested in the shares between Mar 7, 2019 and Nov 3, 2021 and put in your claim by Mar 4th, 2026. I'm aware that often these claims are reduced to small amounts per client once all the dust settles, so I'm wondering if you've any idea how many potential claims could be expected based on the volume of shares sold at the time? Ditto for SNAP, which covers share holders from Feb 5, 2021 to Oct 21, 2021 who can claim by May 6, 2026. Any thoughts on either tickers are most welcome! Thank you for always having the answers we seek!
