Investment Q&A

Q: Hi, Any ideas why a co. goes from $9.00 to $0.50 in a few hours Jun 26, 2025. Was it pump and dump ? This happened to "Ostin Technology Group Co Ltd" ("OST").
It is Chinese company, is it a tariff issue ? or something else.
Thank you

Q: Hi, I have CPX and have considered switching in the past to FTS or H , because of your ranking. However in the last 5 years it has doubled in price and has a great dividend. Hydro One seems to be keeping pace but has a much lower dividend. Just wondering what I’m missing and would you be more comfortable with a switch to H or FTS. Thanks

Of course this stock has been quite stagnant for sometime. Is it getting harder for acquisitions? Is it also hunting for a big one that would move the needle, ie 7/11.

Thank you for this amazing service.

Q: QS's share price is up 17% today. Today they "...announced a major milestone in the scale-up of its production capabilities:..". Not sure if the announcement warrants the share price bump-up. I am finally positive, having bought shares on the way down.
My question...Is the company getting de-risked with this announcement? I ask because I am contemplating buying more shares. My weighting is under 1% currently. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: Hi 5i team
Let me start by thanking you all for you valuable insights into markets and stock valuations through the years. My question is regarding a tfsa portfolio. I am considering reducing amount of stocks to 20. Which 6 stocks would you let go in order of first to sell to last. Secondly, could you give me a brief opinion/ comment on my present holdings in a tfsa and if there's value in keeping status quo.
Thanks as always
Gilles
