Q: I am a long-term dividend growth investor. I bought CGNX because it is debt-free and a leader in machine vision technology. I expected it to benefit from growth in the industrial automation sector. I also thought there was some possibility of it being acquired by a larger player in the IA sector. However I have been disappointed in its performance over the last twelve months as its growth seems to have stalled. I am considering switching to CNR, still in the industrial sector, but benefitting from overall industrial growth with less volatility. Would you hang in with CGNX for the long term or would you switch to CNR? I am also considering a sector switch to GOOGL which seems to have much better growth and ROIC than either of these companies. Which is the better long term investment?

Q: Entry point for AXON please? Wait for a pull back ? Thanks

Q: My brother in law is asking me about flow through shares.
Can you provide me with some pros and cons of flow through shares.
a sense of the flow through sales industry, i.e. % commissions on the sale of these products.
How risky are they in your experience.
Do the tax breaks / incentives actually warrant the investment?
The sales pitch is that it is for high income earners, is that really because, they are the ones who can afford to lose the investment

Q: what other assets might BCE be able to sell to bring down debt?

Q: SPHQ ETF seems to have a good long term total return performance compared to SPY. When I looked in more detail it looks like Invesco changed the index 3 times since it's December 6, 2005 inception date. I'm trying to validate the active strategy but it's seems difficult to make any assumptions. Is it common for ETF providers to change underlying indexes? I looked at other Invesco ETF's and it seems like they in particular do it for some of there other ETF's as well. I would appreciate your thoughts.

Q: Looking to add some longer duration bonds with inflation and interest rates dropping. You think this is a good move. Already own lpay, zst and cbil and looking for diversification, any other suggestions are welcome.

Q: Hello 5i,
Post if you like.
As per Kim's question today on drawdown of RRSP and other retirement holdings, there are a few things I have found helpful. Rita Silvan's article in MoneySaver Sept/24 "Boomer Candy" had some great points. Daryl Diamond's book Your Retirement Income Blueprint is worth the read. Finally a fiduciary planner/ tax plan.
Good luck.

Q: HI Team,
I was wanting your updated take on TTD. I have held it for a long time in my tfsa and am up nicely on it. Currently it's touched near it's 2021 high. Is it still among your favorite growth companies and worthy of continuing holding in a tfsa for the next 5 years? Do you see big growth from the company continuing going forward? IF not; please suggest a couple names in which you would confidently see as outperforming TTD over the next few years in which I would replace it with.

Thanks,
Shane.
