Q: On GSY earnings . Revenue was up 10% and yet profit " fell " .....

It's kind of like a bank saying it lent 10% more money but somehow we lost money { profit } .... Thanks for your terrific service ......

Q: Hi there. with the current economic outlook in the US being very uncertain and the dollar possibly weakening as the US economy struggles would you recommend any of these names? VGK, FEZ, or EZU? The idea being to build up a position of 10% of my portfolio over the next two or three quarters betting on Europe continuing to outperform the US. Thank-you.

Q: In a recent question on LLY, you said "President Trump is about to sign an executive order that would likely slash the cost of drugs (and hence the profits for maker) on a slew of popular, expensive products".

What effect will this have on the price and dividends paid by HHL.to and LIFE.to ?

Q: Back in September 2024, I had asked whether it might be a good idea to rotate from ENB to a producer like CNQ/CVE. 5i's response as the time was that it was not a fan of "fixing' things that are not broken".

This has so far been good call because ENB has faired well while the producers are hitting new lows.

My question is: at what point does the risk/reward become such that rotating into the producers make sense?

Q: Everyone, recently I have read questions of what price is a good price to buy. I believe in buying the best of the best and hold forever.
I have made 9 times my money on AAPL, 3 times on MFST, 50 times on CSU, more than 2 times on LMN, more than 2 times on MFST, 6 times NVDA, 5 times on SHOP and 8 times on V. Buy and hold and the price does not matter - length of holding the stock matters! My Thoughts.

Q: Hello 5i,

We are looking at our fixed income and dividend portion of our portfolio. Dividend stocks are 6% of our overall portfolio.

Bam 3.19%
AW 2.59%
BEPC 5.41%
DIR 6.69%
NTR 3.95%

We want to add another 2% to dividend stocks. Add equally to the above or, add ZEB or CDZ?

Thank you
