Q: I was happy to learn recently that TD now offers partial share purchases which I think is a great way to afford buying a company like CSU considering its 4000+ cost. I have a small amount to invest and was considering buying a partial share of CSU. At this point in time, considering current valuations and the potential for long term capital growth, would your preference be CSU or one of other Constellation spin offs LMN or TOI. Please explain why you would choose one over the other two. I intend to make this stock purchase within a TFSA. Many thanks for the for the great service that you provide.

Q: You previously mentioned that Pfizer stock might be a value trap. What if investors consider Pfizer stock as a dividend stock, similar to BCE, Telus, or other telecom stocks with limited growth potential? Dividend investors usually focus on the quarterly dividends and the potential risks to the business. What if they buy it for the income and hope for a recovery in the future? Another concern is whether the stock will continue to decline. Please share your thoughts. Thank you in advance.

Q: I presently own PANW and I am up modestly. I would like to know your opinion of selling PANW and buying CRWD after its sell off? I want exposure to cyber security. Do you see more upside potential with Crowd Strike? Would the unknown consequences of CRWD be a problem?

Thanks

Q: I have a number of Canadian Rate Reset and Perpetual Preferred Shares, which have done very well in the last number of months. These are held predominantly in a Registered LIF Account. The current yields are between 6~7%. The Rate Resets are laddered, resetting in different years. As the reset dates get closer it may impact the value, depending on BOC rate and reset rate. I was looking trimming these and allocating 20% of our Preferred shares BEPR for US exposure.


BEPR currently yields 9% which would increase our income, while providing greater diversification nIt seems to have paid a monthly since at least 2018.

What is 5’s view on BEPR and the safety of its distribution vs Canadian Preferred shares?

Q: I’m in the process of clearing out my portfolio and have 1,000 shares of Kraken Robotics that I’ve held for a few years. These shares have appreciated by 200%. What do you think about the future prospects of this small-cap company? While the total value isn’t huge, it’s been nice to see the growth. Should I continue holding onto these shares? I’d appreciate your thoughts. Thanks in advance.
