How is the current valuation and debt, compared to its competitors ?

Q: If you own (cost basis) over $100,000 (I believe) of foreign stock, you need to fill out a T1135 form. My question is, if you owned EFTs for foreign companies, and purchased those EFTs on a Canadian market, will those EFTs need to be included on the T1135?

I know this is a tax question, but I hope it has an easy answer. Thanks.

Q: Hi,

I'm a conservative, almost 60yr old inverter who, last Friday, panicked and shifted about half of my portfolio into ETF bonds as a safer haven for now due to Trump's global tariff mayhem. Now, of course, I'm considering the unthinkable - Canadian inverse bear ETF's to try to get some money back from the crash. I may never have the nerve to do such a thing since I realize there is a high-risk gamble, no dividend and high fees involved. Is there anything else I should be aware of before I dip my toe into such extreme ETF's ?? Is it better to stay in CAD or shift to USD ?

Thanks - Nick

Q: Dear 5i team.

Would appreciate your updated views on PKI with the recent news that Simpson is taking steps to field 9 new board members.
What is your educated guess on how this plays out?
I see the chart indicating a bounce opportunity as it's trading back to levels currently that look like triple bottom to my non educated eye.

Appreciate your assesment.

Q: I have the above stocks all at significant $$ losses in my trading account. I don't need to sell any, but am wondering if I should sell and switch to other similar stocks to lock in capital losses. Do you have an opinion on which you'd sell tomorrow - and a proxy for an equivalent or better replacement. And which ones you would keep due to their unique positioning in the current market? I don't really want to sell and wait 30 days to rebuy the same stock.
