Q: How would you rank CNR, CTC.A, MG, OTEX, TCL.A as both dividend growers and separately to buy? Please provide a short reason for your ranking.

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i!

I was thinking of starting an initial holding in SES and am interested in hearing your opinion of the company. It seems to have good growth and pays a dividend. I would intend to keep it as a long term hold.

Cheers,
Tamara

Q: Is CIBR-T a reason option compared to CIBR-Q ?

Q: Good morning, In a recent question I inquired about brokers that held U.S. stocks in U.S. funds in a RRIF accounts . I asked this question, as much to my surprise Wealthsimple does not hold U.S. stocks in U.S. funds in a RRIF account. They are held in CAD. I am looking at Qtrade and TD invest for this account. Is there a preference? Open to any ideas. Thank you.

Q: would like to know about capital direct if it would be a good investment and if not would have anouther option.

Don't publish the answer unless you want to.

Thanks.

Q: Can you give me your updated analysis on CloudFlare. It seems to be getting its groove, but do the fundamentals look like a strong growth story ahead? How overvalued is it currently and would you start a position? Thx

Q: Only Canadian dividend stocks own in non-register account qualify for the Dividend Tax Credit? Am I correct?

Q: They announced an increase to their credit facility, an indicator that business is improving. What are your thoughts on the company?

Q: Superior over time had hovered in the $12 to $16 range. Lots of volatility in it's history.
In 2011 it dropped below $6 and again in 2024.From 2011 to 2014 it recovered to over $14
In 2025 it has bounced off that $6 range, and analysts are forecasting a target price around $10. I have read your recent posts saying their 2025 fiscal year estimates raised.
Two questions:
1) What fundamentally caused this recent dive down to sub $6 from near $16?
2) Given management has raised it's guidance, are the fundamentals improving and is the $10 target estimate from analysts justified?
Thanks

Q: Hello. Curious on your thoughts on the materials sector in general - time to overweight in a long term growth portfolio? Also wondering what you think of Silver - and First Majestic to get exposure to the space. Thanks!

Q: Hi,

I have read with interest but considerable skepticism the Q&A on crypto. Lately I am starting to learn about stablecoin. Irony aside (pegging a digital currency to despised fiat currency - lol), I do think stablecoin is a possible solution to the “wild west” of digital currency.

Having said that, stablecoin is still very new, and the main player, Tether, is private. There are reports about lack of transparency with its operations despite having leading market share and significant assets under management.

With the recent eye-popping CRCL IPO, and the seeming success of Tether, can you provide some insights into the stablecoin space and how a Canadian investor favouring a long-term, total return strategy might participate without speculating?

Thank you for your valued opinion.

Q: I currently own a small position in BRM in my TFSA which is down around 25%. I don't usually average down but I might make an exception on this stock given that have good positive numbers and outlook. I own larger positions in other small caps PNG,ZDC, VHI and HBFG all of which have performed well. I know that you don't make actual portfolio recommendations but would you put more into BRM or into one of the others. Thanks for all your help. Steve

Q: With Canada embarking on défense spending, which stocks would you be looking at that may benefit in this realm?
