Q: As a longtime holder of BNS representing 8% of my cash account (4 % total accounts ) with banks representing 30 % of total portfolios, I am getting impatient waiting for the “ new “ President to make his mark. With TFII suffering from tariff malaise and WSP dropping because of a sale of shares by the Caisse , I see this as an opportunity to get into these 2 growthier stocks. I can live with the resulting drop in dividend income. I would have a loss on BNS.

Would you make the trade or hold on to BNS ?
Thanks. Derek

Q: Recently a BNN guest was making the case for investing in UnitedHealth after the big decline in share price. Do you view this as one that an investor with a long term view could begin picking away at now, or do you feel things have changed fundamentally and it should be avoided at least for now?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: The monthly cost of owning a home in the US is now apparently 40% more than renting. Can you comment on your view as to whether this fact sets up a buying opportunity for companies that provide rental properties in the US. Can you also suggest a few such companies to consider and provide your best pick therefrom. Finally for each suggestion could you indicate whether their residential focus is single family or multiple and which one you believe has the most upside ahead. Many thanks.

Q: hello 5i:
Last question asked on GEV was on January 25th. Can you please update your views with respect to P/E, Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow? Debt looks tiny, can you confirm?
Last, I have a small position in HPS.A. Is GEV a direct competitor, and would a US company benefit from the threatened tariffs on other countries? Adding your general opinion on the stock and on the industry would be appreciated.
thanks

Q: Hi,
Company reported Q1-2025 results last week. As per news, it beat earnings on higher revenue and AUM, raised Dividend. GAAP EPS was down. There was some expenses for technological upgrade. The stock was weak. Is this kind of expenses is unnecessary or a mistake or done due to any problem or liabilities? Because some analyst has a sell rating for the stock? I am holding this stock for long time representing my holding in US financial sector. Has there any major changes in the company's working so that I need to replace this holding? Appreciate you insight on this.
Thanks
