Q: Please list your favourite base metals etfs.Thanks.

Q: Hello

Beside s Grayscales Solana Trust "GSOL "
is 5i aware of other options to gain solana exposure via public equites ?

Q: I realize the higher the yield the higher the risk but I would like 5i's opinion of a few products. As a result of the American President's threats of tariffs which I feel are coming in thirty days I have been rebalancing . Canadian ETF's to American ETF's as well as the sale of tariff risk Canadian stocks . RRIF cash position currently { 30% } .... I would like to take some small positions in some greater than 10% covered call ETF's ..... These would be short term positions as I believe it will be 1 or 2 quarters before Mr Market realizes tariffs are a really bad idea ......

So which do you like better in a Trump world of tariffs ? A covered call bond ETF, a covered call treasury ETF, a covered call stock ETF ? I've been eyeballing HPYT for the simple reason that it appears to be at a low with a very high yield but I would like 5i's opinion. Could 5i list four or five ETF's which you feel would be good choices to play this theme ? It's okay if some of your choices are sub 10% ......{ I already own HYLD.U 6.9% position } And which sectors { bond, treasury, stock } would be the best choices in a Trump tariff world ? .... Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: Seen this stock drift down almost 20% in the last few weeks. I see they have earnings report in Mid March. Wondering if you have a good explanation for slide despite no obvious news. Not sure if it's tariff related. Your opinion of best of action. Eg Sell or wait for earnings report. Not a big fan of average down when rest of market is flat or going up. Thanks. Chris

Q: Could you please help me understand the Capital Gains process for VBAL and how it affects my holdings. Actual amount is 0.337068 /share or 1%
"These amounts are for the year-end capital gains distributions only, which will be re-invested and the resulting units immediately consolidated, so that the number of units held by each investor will not change."

Thank you,
Mike

Q: So I am looking at a high yield Canadian issued ETF with distributions in USD. Growth is secondary to yield as it it is to partially offset the increasing costs of wintering in Florida. Is the price of HYLD.U.CA ( $14.75 ) in CAD or USD ; likewise what currency is the distribution ? I understand this ETF has 1.25 leverage.

Would this ETF met my goals of high income from stocks representing the broad US market?
Are there other products that meet my goals ?

Thanks. Derek.

Q: Good morning!

Would you be comfortable buying in on POWL at its current valuation? A half position and watching for momentum to change following its decline on deepseek etc.

Please provide your thoughts and entry price.

Thank you.

Q: I am looking to invest in these 4 names for my father after he sold his house. He is 92 so I would like something as 'risk-free' as possible, just income needed. Thinking 100k for each, just wondering about any risks involved aside from interest rate risk and inflation risk.
Thanks!
Scott

Q: Can you provide comments on just released results. They appear ok but pre market SHOP is down sharply. Did results meet your expectations? How do you see stock performance going forward?

Q: Hi,

I've held WCP for several years and, while the divvy is nice, I'm looking for more growth than what it has shown me.

Or am I looking at this stock wrong? Is it really an income play?

Thanks,
Robert

Q: What is your opinion on this stock, doesn’t seem to be in your data base.

Q: If one believes that the market is reaching its peak and may trade down or sideways for the next year or two, what do you think of this ETF. Conversely, how would you expect it to perform in an up market? Thanks!

Q: ENB-T has outperformed PPL-T in past 12 months. ENB has P/E of 21.81 and dividend yield of 5.94% where as PPL-T has P/E of 16.00 and dividend yield of 5.27%. Is it a good idea to switch at this price based on Sell high and Buy low? Beside these two metrics, is future earning growth of ENB-T makes it outperforming other pipeline stocks listed on TSX? Your views please.
Thanks

Q: Hi. What do you think of the NA? I currently have small position. Ok to add more? or to sell

Q: Which one of these would be a safer long term hold for growth and dividends for a retired senor?

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

I notice that you often state that stocks did well under Trump's first term.

With all due respect, Trump 2.0 is, in my own view and the view of many others, Trump 2.0 is a different 'kettle of fish' than Trump 1.0. One needs only to look at both Canadian and US media to see the complete chaos that Trump is causing on both sides of the border.

Thanks.

Q: What is your opinion of the growth profile at The Fresh Factory?

Q: Hi Peter,
My new strategy this yr is to buy growth stocks that have done public offerings to finance future growth in 2025/26. Can you think of any other names to add to this list?
