Q: For the past while, I have been watching BCI. I have done well with consolidators, I liked their last earnings / growth yet their presentation (my opinion) was not well delivered. Unfortunately, it has not attracted much volume. This morning they have traded 148 shares and are up 3.61%. Do they need a professional or more effective investor relations team?
Thank you

Q: Can you recommend a small group of companies in Canada that are principally involved in Artificial Intelligence. I think you advised in the past; however, I can’t find your response.

Q: As with many other subscribers, I will start with expressing my thanks and compliments for your great service.
I have held Boston Pizza for some time. The monthly distribution has offered a good return in the past and it looks even better as a result of the falling price of the stock. Presently it is about 6.9%; do you see any reason why this might be reduced?
After about a year of slipping, do you see any hope for the stock price to improve?
Thanks, Leonard

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I want to start playing a little defence. I do have a well diversified portfolio which I am pleased with. However I do believe in the Boy Scouts motto of being prepared. Prepared for the unexpected or next recession which many analysts say is 12-18 months down the road. So I am thinking of getting some gold which has been flat for a considerable time which may be a plus when considering timing. So please give me a couple of gold stocks that are currently under valued and one can be a contrarian play as I will add several to my holdings. Also do you think I might be too early and should wait for pull backs? Thanks for your consistent excellence!

Q: Interested in a longer term (3-5 years), relatively safe stock (low Beta) with a good dividend and perhaps a little growth.
What is your opinion of POW and PWF at this time? Which would you prefer?
Or is there another similar stock you would recommend?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,
What is your opinion of a recent suggestion by Larry Berman that "If you want to replace it (BCE), he would look at ZWU-T because it gives you all the Telco's. It gives you a couple in the US as well as pipelines and utilities. He is not looking for a lot more downside. It pays north of 6%".
We own BCE in my RRIF (up slightly) and my wife's RRSP (down quite a bit) and am wondering about Berman's strategy. As always, your advice is valued immensely.

Q: Hello 5i
I note that CAR.UN has been on amazing ride upwards. I own over 4,000 shares since 2010 @ approx. 10.67/Sh. So I am happy to see the shares are appreciating. But I wonder why this is happening in the last month or so, especially in a period when interest rates are pointing higher. Is someone accumulating for some reason? Or is there anything else I am not aware about.

Thanks for your insights and keep up the great service.
Joseph
