Q: Hi Folks,
Trimming some ABBV and PFE in my RRSP account. Thinking of adding either ISRG or LMAT to my somewhat balanced account. May I have your opinion as to which one you favour today and why? Thanks

Q: Hi,
I own TT, PWR, HEI and TT. Looking to add to this industrial theme, if you think that's a good idea? I need a stock that's in a reliable sector without gut wrenching volatility. What do you advise? Are there CDN stocks you'd recommend?

Q: What 5 market industry sectors do you recommend for investing in now, ranked in descending order, in the USA, for ETFs that will yield 10% per year including both dividends and capital appreciation please? Same question for ETFs in Canada please?

Q: Thanks, 5i for your efforts that have meaningfully helped me to a more secure retirement which I am enjoying now. I do have a question: please can you compare and contrast PLTR and KXS going forward?

Q: In an investment account that does three cash transactions per month would you park the cash in TDB8150 or the CASH etf? Thanks Ron

Q: Hi 5i,

Came across this in the Daily Chase from BNN:

"Tactical Resources Corp. plans to list on the Nasdaq stock market through a merger with a shell company. After the transaction, the combined firm will have an enterprise value of US$589 million. Founded in 2018, Tactical Resources explores and develops rare earth elements — a group of 17 metals essential for defence technology, electric vehicles and semiconductors. The company will use proceeds from the deal to finance construction of a processing facility at the Peak Project, a rare earth minerals mine near El Paso, Texas."

Any thoughts on the company from an investment standpoint would be appreciated.

Thank you!!

Q: Gordon Reid has a top pick. Your comments pls.

Q: Have held Google for some time and pleased with the return but wondering if you think the breakup talk will hold it back in the short term. Is there more upside potential in Microsoft near term or would you hold both? Alternatively is there another name you would prefer outside of the Mag 7?

Q: I did appreciate your answer for an equivalent question for US Cies lately...It seems difficult though to find canadian Cies that have long term potential, and financial strength as large US cies..Could you name 5 canadian Cies considered as a " must have" for long term and an entry point ? Regards

Q: Hi 5i I am looking for stocks that pay a dividend 4-7% and pay their dividend in Feb/May/Aug and Nov. Please do not include anything in the financial, utility or communication sector.

Q: Can I get your thoughts on GDS Holdings Limited as a competitor to NVDIA and possible beneficiary of the move to growing more data centers in Asia and elsewhere. Would it be a company you would be okay with taking a small position at the current price?

Q: Hello 5i team!
You often seem bullish on tri. I know it's grown in the past year and I know you're not fans of analyst predictions, but the one year estimate is about $220.50. can you please explain why this would be a good investment today for the next couple years, and/or offer a couple other better growth ideas? Thanks!

Q: When I look at Kelt on the 5i website it says insiders are exercising options at 2.76. I am assuming these options were issued in the past. I am also assuming that the insiders are exercising the options for stock and are using their own money. DO options have an expiry date ?Are my assumptions correct ?

Thx

Q: EDGE was mentioned on BNN the other day. It seems interesting as it offers substantial diversification compared to the mainstream equities I typically invest in. I have some questions for you:
1. What is your overall view about this ETF?
2. AUM is about $46M...is that too small for the fund to have much promise?
3. With $46M, is it too risky to take a large position, or is there protection from how ETFs operate?
4. It is perplexing to me....the average volume shows at about 600 on one trading platform I use and about 1,000 on another, yet there are bids and asks in excess of 2,000; why would there be such large bid / ask when the volume is much lower?
5. The quoted fee is 0.40% but about 1/2 of the holdings are other Evolve ETFs; is the real cost of the fee more than the 0.40% quoted (do they stack)? Would it be less of a fee if one simply bought the other funds?
Sorry if some of these are dumb questions, I don't often invest in ETFs. Many thanks for your excellent service.
