Investment Q&A

Q: What are the pros and cons of this ETF as a silver play? It seems to be lagging both physical silver and silver miners. If that assessment is correct is there a reason for that? It obviously offers expertise in the space; does that translate into more downside protection?
Thank you, Hugh

Q: Good morning Peter et al.

This is a follow up question to Sheldon's excellent question on Metals and Material sector today.

I know you answer questions based on the way we, the subscribers, phrase them.

Is there a Canadian equivalent to XME which is what you chose to highlight for Sheldon?

I am looking for an ETF that has metals WITHOUT Gold and Silver. (I have good positions in them already) I also prefer a CAD denominated ETF rather than in USD.
Many thanks.

Q: Do you not find it odd/disappointing that we have yet to see any meaningful insider buying in these names?

Q: Good day to you
if you had to choose between these 2 which one would you pick and why
thanks

Q: The psychological make up of individuals cannot be overstated when making financial decisions. For example, I have done well with EIF over the years; great management, fiscally conservative yet growth oriented, good industries . It’s been “ up and to the right “ for years. I do not intend to sell this long term winner , but yet when I look at it to deploy new money , I think “ It’s at all time highs, too expensive , don’t buy “. Weird eh ?

Q: General question for buyers and sellers of ETF's from Canadian and US exchanges. How can one know whether one is permitted to hold it in ones accounts like; TFSA, RRSP and NonReg's. There are many strategies offered like levered products etc. How can one avoid holding the wrong product and getting nailed by CRA with fines. Hope you can provide some guidance.

Q: I’m looking into Hyliion Holdings (HYLN) as a potential long-term position, but I’m trying to better understand its growth prospects.
Given that the company is still pre-commercial and currently recognizes most revenue from R&D services rather than product sales, what’s your view on its path to commercialization and revenue growth? And are there particular risks or milestones you’d prioritize watching.

Q: Hi Peter,
What will be your preferred order of purchase for these four stocks: NBIS, KRMN, HOOD, and ENS? Please also advise good entry price for these four. Thanks.

Q: Suncor is on a bit of a tear recently. It has just surpassed its 2008 peak. Is that relevant? I have held it for ages and I have never been impressed, but it is one of my few oil and gas stocks. Any thoughts are appreciated?
Thanks

Q: Your opinion. thanks.

Q: Happy Friday.
AGX is on a positive run today. I went looking for some news but can't find anything at all. Can you add any insite to this tale?

I also ran across a Cdn fin-tech stock WERX that is new to me. Do you have it on your small cap radar. I couldn't find any financials or analyst following it.
Thanks. P. S. The AI report is fabulous.
David

Q: Please provide your thoughts about Telus.
I ended up buying BCE before they cut dividend. I know there is no crystal ball, but would you have a similar concern about Telus.

Q: Wondering why this company has little debt and only 100Million in sales but has been around forever? Do they have plays in areas other then Alberta?
Could you give me a little background on the company and why you like it enough to add it to the portfolio.

Thanks
Jeff

Q: I would appreciate if you can share your thoughts about CN & CP Rail with Buy, Sell or Hold rating for both.

Q: Please provide your thoughts about TOU.

Q: Many of the questions you receive are similar in nature and often are subsequently asked again by another subscriber.
Examples would be: “what are your top 5 CAD stocks or USD stocks; or favourite AI stocks ….” “Top 3 sectors for 2026” etc.

I like the way you have categorized the questions on the sidebar.
However I can’t find anything there that captures those types of similar, frequently asked questions.

If i have overlooked it please let me know how I can find them other than scrolling through days and weeks of questions to find those types of questions and answers.

Thanks again.

PA: And by the way your report on AI yesterday is outstanding both for the breadth of its coverage and the detail on stocks or funds in each category. Fabulous material and clearly a VALUE ADDED differentiator in favor of 5i. BRAVO.

Q: Cogeco has by far the lowest market cap of the telcos, yet its share price dwarfs the big players. Can you explain this? Please rank these companies from least to most risk if purchased now.

Q: Hello to the 5i crew. Are lumber prices on the upswing? The reason I ask is that I still have a half position in Western forest Products (WEF) and it has gone from dead money to up about 25 per cent in 2026. I did notice that the big boy in North American lumber WFG is up a bit as well. So what's up? The home builders are not really blazing ahead with housing starts and the whole forestry industry seems moribund! So why are lumber stocks getting a bit of a lift? Is there something percolating under the surface that us little retail guys can't see? If my shares in WEF were in a taxable account I would have sold them in December but they are in a RSP. Should I count myself lucky and get out of WEF after this upswing or is there something going on that might make it go higher?

Q: What is your opinion on this stock? What would be a good entry point?

Q: Hi There, I am interested in considering buying TTP and/or TQCD ETF's for my NonReg account. TTP is the passive Canadian index and TQCD is supposedly actively managed. Is there somewhere that can provide me information on the tax efficiencies of these two ETF's. I would like to get an idea of how they might impact my yearly tax return. Many thanks.
