Q: Hello team,

I have kept MGNI for a long time and saw my profits disappear badly. Every positive momentum seems to go out of steam quickly. It has been going down with high volume in the past 3 months. Is it time to let go of MGNI? If the answer is yes, would you sell it to add to HOOD or AFRM? And why? I am open to other growth-y suggestions.

Thanks for all the good work and support you are offering 5i community.

Q: Hello 5i,
Just a personal opinion pertaining to Grant’s question around physical silver and gold.
I have been selling some of my R.C.M. silver and gold coins into the recent rally.
Due to their purity, I have had no issues with GST/HST to date.
I would recommend buying 99.999% purity, and also to research buying options as the Mint can be expensive, imho. As well, where practical, try to buy in larger quantities, say 1/4 oz., and higher.
Finally, wafers or bars may be preferable to many Mint coins which may not provide as good a return, given that they seem to sell with a “numismatic premium” from what I have seen.
Just my “2 cents” worth….
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Hello!
Now that I’ve reached the age of RRIF withdrawals, I’m looking more closely at income and therefore at covered-call ETFs.
I understand that these instruments don’t fully share in the upsides, but the income of ETFs like EIT, TXF and ZWU is pretty solid.
I’ve also been looking at UMAX its unbelievable 14% yield, but I also see that the unit price has declined quite dramatically over the last few years.
So questions are, how do you feel about these ETFs for income? And if you’re okay with them, which would you recommend?
Thanks for all your help
Michael

Q: hello 5i:
can you explain how FTAI is going from and EPS of -.32 FY2024, to a projected EPS of 4.87 FY2025? This looks like an almost unbelievable turnaround. I see future growth is quite impressive. Can you add any other comments to this company?
thanks

Q: What are your thoughts on the budget and the impact it may have on stocks in general? Is there anything in the budget that will have a specific positive impact on any of your list of growth stocks? If yes, can you indicate which stocks and what might be expected? Defence spending is big but I'm assuming this has been baked into defence based companies already.

Q: I would like to slowly start stacking a small amount of gold and silver. Where is the best place to buy gold and silver in Canada, the Royal Canadian Mint? Is there a standard size when stacking gold and silver, for a small time investor; eg 1/10th of an ounce for gold? "In the UK, any gold coin that is considered British legal tender is exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT)" - are there any gold Canadian coins that are exempt for Capital Gains? Thank you!!
