Q: Good morning, Goats!

JPM is a favourite. With its cheaper valuation and current rate outlook it will benefit more on broad banking and scale. Is it landing on the higher valuation side of things now?

A crypto recovery, IPO’s, M&A activity, strong markets continuing. Garp and other metrics would favour GS.

What say you? Does GS actually pull away here on another steady run? Or would you still pick the more conservative and diverse JPM. If there is an alternative winner please share.

Thanks for all the continued work this incredible team does.

Q: Hi,

I’ve had a nice run with both of these. Thinking of selling one. All things considered regarding their lines of business which has a better growth outlook? Or are they complementary to each others such that owning both is a good thing?

Thank you.

Q: In a recent response to a question, you suggested that US financials were your second highest conviction sector, after tech.


With that in mind, could you please share your top six U.S. financial picks, ranked by conviction? Does BRK.B make the list? I’d appreciate a brief justification either way.

Thank you,

Q: Hello 5i,
New to portfolio analytics, can’t say enough about this team! Bravo.

Circumstances forced me to shuffle financially this past year.
43, pension, rentals. 55 freedom or forget it.

Highest conviction, growth, maj; tech, leaning themes to the next decade, a sprinkle of sector diversity, large/mid/small caps, predominantly US. I’m aware of course of all the caveats here lol. A 12-15 starter pack would be fabulous.

This is you starting today; You have 300k.
I do add 700 per week, please exclude
BN, TRI, ISRG, COST, HIMS, NBIS, NVDA, BKSY.

Eagerly waiting! Thank you.

Q: With interest rates potentially going lower in the US I was wondering about your crystal ball thoughts on where this ETF might peak this cycle ? I bought in when it cratered a couple years ago.

Q: Given that they had been put into the penalty box because of past transgressions with account openings, I had a thesis that WFC would benefit significantly from the Trump administration plan to deregulate. Unfortunately, my timing was off, the shares had already increased and dropped after I invested. At this point I wonder if I should abandon my thesis and move to another financial holding. In your view, would GS be a better investment? And why? Alternatively, although Regional banks were hit hard in the past, FITB seems to be favourably viewed; would that be better than WFC or GS? And if so, why? This is in a TFSA and looking for growth, not income. Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Ignoring any crypto implications (I am decently invested in that area), do you think liberalizing the financial regulations in the US is likely to produce outsized short to medium term gains in that sector? If so, can you recommend a couple of solid names, a couple of speculative names and a couple of ETFs. Thanks again for the great service.

Q: Hi!

Regarding these 2 companies which one has more growth prospects, better value for 2025? Are they overlapping businesses or complimentary to each other? I have a nice gain in MS thinking about trimming and buying some GS.

Ok thanks!
