Q: Spectral Medical (T.EDT) has multiple FDA approvals in it's stable including a wholly-owned Dialco division with a state-of-the-art home dialysis unit. Their core business is currently involved in a phase 4 confirmatory trial for sepsis in the US where their PMX filter is being used in a 2:1 ratio vs. the placebo or standard of care with a critical 28 day mortality endpoint. Data from the phase 3 trial being used too ( initially advertised as FAILED). Are you ready to be constructive on this? 30 cents? really?? Something seems a little off here.

Q: Hello,

Further to your response regarding inflation and five Canadian and US names that might perform better, do you also have five mid cap or smaller cap names that might benefit from inflation? Both US and CDN?

Thank you!

Q: These two stocks seem to be very well positioned for post COVID recovery. With the potential of huge dollars in infrastructure for URI, it seems like a winner. With folks going back to stadiums, arenas and concert venues, LYV also seems poised for real growth. Comments please.

Q: Hi. I want to buy an ETF for US or International exposure and therefore need to understand the impact of the withholding tax. In doing so, I need to determine the type of ETF they are such as; Canadian equity, Canadian dividend and income, U.S. Equity, International Equity Fund or Can Bon fund. So, wow do I determine what type of fund XAW or QEF fall under such that I can understand the withholding tax implications. Looking at the website/fact sheets/etc is still difficult to determine the "holdings" which has a direct correlation to the with holding tax.

Q: Hello 5i,
Do you think Metaverse is a better investable theme compared to Crypto?
Facebook seems to be allocating capital to Metaverse.
Can you suggest some stocks in US or Canada that give exposure to this theme. Can you suggest any ETFs other than META that invest in this theme? Do you think this is best held in a TFSA or NonReg account?

thanks

Q: It seems like a lot of analysts are talking about a resource bull market especially regarding the inflation/stagflation discourse.
Do you feel we are heading into a resource bull market?
And, are there certain sectors you favour - Oil/gas, copper, uranium, food, precious metals?
Finally, are there any stocks within this very broad resource sector that you think is a standout. Please take as many credits as necessary
Much appreciated

Q: I need to do some trimming of Lightspeed due to substantial gains since purchase at $20 to $25. I am undecided though as to whether to wait for the quarterly report which I think comes out on Nov.4. I read the estimates in your answer to a recent question, $124 m revenue and loss of $0.18. In your opinion would meeting these estimates provide stability to the stock price. Do you know of any general consensus out there as to whether it will meet, miss or beat estimates. I realize this last question involves some guess work so please feel free to leave it out in your response.
As always many thanks for the great service!
