Q: Hi,
PLTR has had an incredible run but I believe the fundamentals are disconnected from the stock price. Trading at fwd P/E 150x and P/S 46x!! I believe this not sustainable with the estimated growth. What would PLTR have to grow rev and eps by for the next 5-10 years to get to this valuation? I'm looking to short PLTR and I know the risks of shorting stocks but I believe the risk/reward is good here and the stock will pullback. I am long the tech sector so this is somewhat of a hedge. Your thoughts?

Q: I was wondering which Canadian stocks do you feel would do well with the upcoming change in US administration, and which will do badly. I assume that most will change a bit one way or another, but I am concerned about significant changes - like with MG or LNR due to tariffs.

Q: Is it advisable to buy an ETF so late in the year
I remember?? reading an article regarding taxation on distributions, namely that you are taxed on the total years distributions, even though you have not received the entire years distribution if u purchase late in the year
Appreciate any clarification you can offer on this
Or should I wait till January 2025 to purchase?
Thank you again

Q: Hello
My GIC has just matured in my RRSP. The rates are low now and was thinking of putting the money in either of the above two ETFs which have a higher yield.
MNY has a higher interest but higher MER but better return overall however seems riskier then CASH. What would your suggestion be, would you have another favorite or would you invest in some other "safe" income instrument in the RRSP, ie ENB?

Thanks
Jeff

Q: Hi 5i,
You provide a great service at a reasonable price for DIY investors based on Peter's subscription estimates; I would say it's still under appreciated!

When is DRX scheduled to release Q3 results? I have not seen a PR to confirm the date. What are the analyst expectations? Do you know the short position if any?
