Q: Peter, if the FED rate is lowered significantly due to the desire of the administration but US inflation picks up due to tarrifs etc, which sectors will benefit the most ? Is it hard assets like materials (metals & other commodities) and gold ? What about oil, real estate, and financials ? Would the knock on effect in Canada be similar ? Thank you.

Q: In a Presidents Letter several years ago, there was a detailed explanation of why organic growth was more valuable to the company than acquisition growth. In recent quarters organic growth was strong (4-5%) by historical standards. Of course no further information was provided. Do you have a sense of why organic growth has accelerated? Is it the influence of AI improving their businesses? Do you feel the higher organic growth rate is sustainable and if so should that lead to a rerating of the stock valuation?

Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team - I have held Tourmaline for several years and although the dividend payouts have been good, the capital appreciation part has not. I am thinking of switching to CNQ, either partially or completely. Could you provide your thoughts on this strategy. Thanks.

Q: I hate to use a question that should be easily addressed in general business news but I can't seem to find any current information on aluminum production in Canada. Have the tariffs had a serious impact? Have there been layoffs? Are our producers just stockpiling inventory, hoping for the tariffs to go away. Are our producers still selling into the US and if so, who's eating the tariffs? I've been told by usually-
knowledgeable business friends that both aluminum and steel production are just fine and sales to non-US customers have surged but can that be true? I certainly hope so. What say you, my 5i guys?
as always, Al
