Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you name a few publicly traded companies, besides CSU, that have no analyst coverage and have never had analyst coverage. Any market cap, any sector, U.S. or Canadian. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,

I have some USD cash available, which stocks would you consider buying today for balanced/growth portfolio?

If holding longer on cash, where would you park it? Something equivalent to CSAV on US side maybe.

Thank you,

Q: OK so now we have "buy Canadian, bye American" trend. So I suppose Canadian companies could actually see a bump in sales. Are there any companies you can think of where this could move the needle in a meaningful way? Not sure how sustainable though?

Q: Hi 5i Research team,
Follow up questions on KITS: based on transaction volume, what would the maximum number of shares you would recommend owning? In your answer you mention that KITS is expensive (good companies usually are): with what multiples would you consider it fairly valued? What impact would you expect a recession would have on sales growth? My intuition tells me that contact lens and glasses are more staples than discretionary: would you agree? Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Based on this environment, which one would you recommend out of these - XAD, HBGD, TECI, CHIPS, TEC, XEXP, FOUR, RBOT. Or, would you recommend any other sector ETF?

As always, thanks for your valuable insights.

Q: Good morning 5i,

I'm expecting some turbulence coming for sure. I doubt all is priced in with the tariff battle. Of course nobody knows. But opportunity may be knocking.

I refreshed myself on Peter's cover call write up from years past. I'd love a new take on selling covered calls to enhance your income and some strategies relating to it. ie, OTM, time frame etc.

And some top stocks in your view for writing on. Excluding NVDA, already sell OTC cc on my position.

Thank you very much.
