Q: Hello, Abbott’s stock has dropped nearly 15% in the past month. Given their latest earnings report, would you continue holding ABT, or would you consider replacing it with another company in the same sector?

Q: Abbott Laboratories (ABT) sold off ~10–12% this morning after its earnings report and updated guidance. Is this business still worth holding despite the disappointing performance? What are your thoughts on its prospects? If you think ABT remains a good company based on the latest results, can you provide key valuation and profitability metrics such as forward P/E, PEG, ROE, and debt levels? Thanks.

Q: Good afternoon,

I’ve a question on KXS that isn’t quite answered in the res ent history. I owned this stock in the past and sold out because it did nothing after getting to $200. The stock is cycling between the low-mid $100’s and $200, now ducking below $150.

What is causing the downtrend? Has this stock reached the lower threshold for a buy rating or do you expect further decline? It is getting intriguing, yet it is also frustrating.

Thanks,

Dave

Q: We've been reading books on an eventual financial disaster for decades.
Does it make sense for anyone to have US cash these days .

We incurred some serious erosion of the USD in 2025 and things could get worse in coming months. Obviously DJT is ignoring all caution with record debt growth passed through his so called big beautiful bill.
With currency erosion , as Gold soars to new highs is there a prospect of countries dumping USD denominated bonds ?

Thanks to Ai , it seems that I now have 50% of my wealth on the US stock market.
I think I should start converting or have SOME strategy ... Please give us your opinion. Thankyou

Q: Mark Carney made quite the splash with his recent speech. He seemed to be saying the old economic system is broken and will not return. (we can no longer depend on the world's super powers to play by the old rules.) If he is right (I think he is) what 3 Canadian companies could benefit the most from this new reality? Also, this new paradigm being global, what three global ETFs could benefit the most? Thanks as always for your guidance.

Q: Hello
Could you please clarify as in some answers recently, the response has been to buy the stock , Vitalhub but the last response was to hold. Here is an analyst view as of today's globe , "Mr. Tse also singled out VitalHub Corp. (VHI-T +3.10%increase
, “outperform” and $16 target) as being a “potential upside surprise” during earnings season.

“We believe the company has been conservative with its margin outlook given its record of surfacing synergies post acquisitions,” he said. “We see upside potential to EBITDA in either the following results and/or forward-looking outlook.”Mr Tse is National Bank Analyst.

The view seems to buy VHI. Can you please clarify?
