Q: TOI was spun out of CSU around 4 years ago, with the goal of having a smaller and faster growing company. Since the spinoff, both companies have done very well, yet CSU has outperformed. Do you think that the spinoff thesis is still intact? Or is it too early to make this call?

Thanks.

Q: hello 5i:
we've owned JPIE for just under a year now and am very happy with returns, and low volatility. Two questions:
One: is performance mostly due to timing eg. expectations of lower interest rates, meaning if expectations reverse, price would fall?
Two: what would you consider to be direct competitors to JPIE, possibly with less risk, when (not if) rates begin to rise again?
thanks

Q: You had some previous thoughts on this one. I'm attracted to the 9-10% dividend but concerned about your previous comments that this one could be "hurt" by lowering interest rates. I guess that is why it is near a 52 week low. Any thoughts on this one now and as we head into 2025 ... is the ~ 9% dividend safe...it's been at ~ $ 17 for almost 2 years ... is the share price safe at around that level ?

Q: Hi there, I own Cameco and intend to do so for the long term. Normally I like to follow one of your portfolios so I can buy / sell when you do and don't need to think too hard about it. But Cameco is not in that portfolio. Two questions (deduct credits accordingly please):

1. What are your thoughts on Cameco for a long-term holding generally?

2. What "user instructions" would you share for a person owning this stock in particular? Eg would you suggest taking profits now and again if/when it's up, because it's cyclical, etc.? One of your recent responses on a different question got me thinking about this.

Thanks very much.

Q: I hold all 3 companies and have been doing really well with CSU. The other 2 LMN and TOI have been a roller coaster, especially LMN. Luckily, both positions are very small in comparison to CSU (phew!!)
CSU - current price $4142 ish.
LMN - current price $33 ish
TOI - current price $130 ish.
Please recommend in which order you would add to, at today's prices (most preferred to least preferred). All are long term plays. Thank you very much.

Q: Hi Guys
Quite surprised Baytex has dropped $1 off share price in the last month off what seemed to be an already discounted share price.. Any insights into why it is off so much versus other Oil and Gas companies? Also Baytex always is in the top ten traded stocks on the TSX each day. Any idea what that is? does it attract more speculators?

Thanks

Stuart
