Q: Hi team,
I’m revisiting my portfolio. Would you be kind enough to review DOO and DRX. Not so popular stocks these days but considering adding to both. Thanks.

Q: Hi 5I,
It may be somewhere out there, but I can't seem to find any info justifying the (at present), 8+% mid-morning drop for Cameo on heavier than average volume. Are you aware of anything?
Thanks,
Don

Q: Hi Team,
After selling gsy into yesterday’s bad news…any suggestions on where investors like me should invest to “get our money back”? Tough question …would need a double. I did put some funds into Tri yesterday on the dip. If Tri gets back to old highs at some point that would be a double. Is this a fair bet? Any other suggestions ? Tough question I know and realize can’t tell the future but looking for best bets here for names that might potentially produce a double over the next couple years or so?

On a side note regarding gsy…very disappointed in the company that I was holding a high position in for a long time. It seems to be lendcare was a bad acquisition. And now looking in that short report seems 100% correct …even down to the exact 300million range of charge offs. It’s also obvious in my opinion that it’s likely why Mullen left, and shortly after the new ceo. I don’t believe health reasons as cited was the issue. Same can be said for the ceo. I assume these guys knowing and not reporting to investors until now is a crime or no ? Any chance of getting any money back in likely upcoming lawsuits? I know …doubtful ; This was a tough pill to swallow as I lost 45k on this dip. Was probably holding more than I should have. This was a gut moving event for me and my family.

Thanks

Q: From the point of growth in the 2-3 years to come can you tel me the best investment among the three entreprises and why?

Thank you very much in advance

Q: Hi 5i, and always appreciate getting independent opinion.

My understanding is BN is a large 135B market cap company with about 100B revenue. I also understand they have about 100B line of credit to use on acquisitions/funding of large scale infrastructure - (which they have a history of doing well).

I like to buy cheap and wait. Its always easier to destroy than create/build, and considering Ukraine and Middle East infrastructure devastation not to mention new technology builds related directly and indirectly to AI, I can't help but believe the future is very bright for BN business long term.

I want to take advantage of the current weakness, but Brookfield is already 8% overall. Mostly BN, but some BIPC, and BAM. I'm looking for overall return long term.

My question - if it were you, would you consider allowing BN to represent a higher % of your portfolio because of its size and diversification of business? or would you have a hard stop on size of any single equity regardless of its apparent merits.

Thanks a ton!

Q: You once wrote "The insurance industry tends to perform well in bear markets or stagnant markets (risk-off environments), as they have durable business models with predictable earnings. We like having exposure to the industry as a form of 'insurance' for those unpredictable times when the broader markets soften." My question is around why MMC is performing so poorly, and is this a buying opportunity?

Q: If the situation in Middle East worsens and the stock market tanks……
In that situation, can you suggest 5-10 stocks to buy and hold for the long term.

Thanks

Q: Looking for steady growth and a dividend. What order would you add today. Other ideas would also be appreciated.

Q: I seem to recall a question quite a while ago (years?) about the maximum % of your portfolio should be by fund company. If I remember correctly, your suggestion was to cap each fund company exposure to 15%. Am I correct and do you still feel the same?

My BMO ETFs are just over 16%.
My iShares ETFs are just over 15%.
I have smaller exposures to the fund companies holding HMAX, HHL, NNRG (around 5% each).

Please remind me again what the dangers are of exceeding your suggested threshold? For the larger fund companies, is the threshold higher?

Thanks for your help....much appreciated....Steve

Q: Hi 5i,

Could you please rank these 5 stocks in terms of which you would purchase now for a 3 to 5 year hold, with growth being the main (but not total) focus?
And if you could give a bit of background for your reasoning that would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Q: I am becoming bored with PNP and perhaps a bit nervous related to its performance recently. I realize it is a completely different sector but could it make sense to sell PNP and purchase LunR. I’m down considerably on PNP but can’t claim a capitol loss as it is in a registered account. It is a very small position in my portfolio.

Thanks for your guiding hand,

Doug

Q: When I buy bonds for my fixed income allocation I always hold until maturity so that I know that I will get my money back plus yield to maturity interest. In the past I could not buy bond mutual funds or ETFs because the bonds were never held to maturity and therefore no guarantee of money back would result.

With the target maturity bond ETFs issued by most banks each ETF holds the bonds until maturity allowing me to ladder a bond portfolio just as if I was buying actual bonds.

What do you think of these securities?

Many thanks.
