Q: Good Afternoon Team 5i,

Are you watching the US30Y? I’ve heard that the Trump administration blinked on tariffs initially when it hit 5%, (and the bond market is the more important market to watch this presidency.) Thus, if the US30Y gets up to 5% again this is something to keep an eye on and watch how the market reacts.

Do you feel this narrative potentially holds some truth? If so, would you please explain why the administration would want to keep the US30Y below 5% please?

Thank you.

Q: Given that the US$ has fallen lately and Trump would like it to fall further in value against other currencies, would you consider it wise to take some US$ profits off the table?

Thank you,

Q: VHT is hitting some lows, being effected by UNH which is a 4.7% position of the fund. Do you see upside from here, or is it a cautionary sector right now? How do you see the sector going forward? Thinking of stepping in as my healthcare part of portfolio is low. Thanks.

Q: I know 5i doesn't like to give out portfolio weighting advice so I won't ask .... I'm considering increasing my position in GDXY to 10% { from it's current weighting of 4.72% } . With the US dollar on a rather steady decline, and Powell unable to lower rates due to tariff inflation .....I think the outlook for gold is positive .....

First given the first two facts would 5i consider this a conservative , moderate risk, or risky approach ? ..... And second what dollar amount would gold have to drop to take me out of the black of that currently 42.3% dividend {That yield is from TD Waterhouse feel free to correct it if it is wrong } ..... ? In spite of the recent drop from my purchase price { down 11% } I am still way in the black collecting my rather large monthly dividend ..... I would like to know how much the price of gold would have to drop to put GDXY in a negative position relative to it's current yield ?.....

Though GDXY has only existed for a year I imagine a correlation between the movement of the price of gold compared to the movement of GDXY unit price could be calculated..... I just don't know how to do that ....... Thanks for you terrific service ......

Q: First…. Thanks for getting me into this stock. I am currently looking to add to it at around $33. On my Direct Investing site PRL is considered to be undervalued with a FAIR VALUE of $222. Would you please clarify what this means. I gather it is based on earnings growth. But does this mean $222 TODAY? Or $222 in the future for example 1 year,3 years, 5 years? Thanks.

Q: Hello Team,
Could you give me a short commentary on both and which would you prefer for total return over the next couple of years. I already own Telus and wonder if there would be too much overlap to own both.
Thank You,
Barry
