Q: I keep reading how the S&P is trading at high values compared to historical values and because of that is risky. do you think that etfs that track the S%P 500 (e.g. ZSP) are more risky than a mid-cap ETF such as ZMID or XMC which are trading at their historical values?
Q: Do you still see TDG favourably, and if so why? It has been on a noticeable slide for the last 6- 7 weeks; has there been any news or alternatively, can you see any explanation for this? I currently am down about 16%; if it were you, would you sell and move on? Thanks for your excellent service.
Q: With the recent news and huge share price drop due to "indictment charging several individuals, including a Super Micro co-founder and board member, a sales manager, and a contractor, of “conspir[ing] to divert billions of dollars” of servers illegally to China in violation of export controls"
1) Is this a good buying opportunity if the investing time horizon is 3+ years?
2) does this recent news affect the future earnings potential of this company?
Q: Greetings 5i, it has been some time since the last question on Fulgent Genetics. The stock collapsed after its recent earnings report, your opinion on this company and its future prospects please. What are major positives (other than the cash on its balance sheet) and major risks? Thank you.
Q: If the price of oil and natural gas are higher for longer will basic agricultural commodities increase in price? I have found two ETFs, USCI and TILL that speak to this theme. Can you comment on them or suggest any others that might be better? Anything available in CAD? Thank-you.

Q: What do you think of TRI at these prices? It seems quite volatile but recent news of solid customers, product and co-operation with AI firms should have calmed things down. What are your thoughts? Any alternatives?
Normally, I don't attend Meetings of shareholders, but I do vote online.
Thomson Reuters Corporation is having a Special Meeting of Shareholders in late April, to:
1. Consider, pursuant to an interim order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) dated March 11, 2026, and,
if deemed advisable, to approve, with or without amendment, a special resolution approving a plan of arrangement pursuant
to Section 182 of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (OBCA) under which Thomson Reuters Corporation will (i) make a
special cash distribution of $605 million in the aggregate, and (ii) consolidate its outstanding common shares (or “reverse
stock split”) on a basis that is proportional to the special cash distribution, as described in the accompanying circular; and
2. Transact any other business properly brought before the meeting and any adjourned or postponed meeting.
Given that the share price has declined significantly, do such meetings for the Corporation provide an opportunity to discuss steps they may be taking to improve the share price?
Thanks as always for your valued insight and perspectives.
