Q: Hi,

This is my first question so I hope I am doing it right.

I recently transferred a small pension to a LIRA because of the amount time before retirement (20+ years). I feel like 70% VGRO because of it's holding diversity and with 30% VFV to raise my risk but not all the way to a VEQT risk. Is this a responsible train of thought?

Also, do you recommend a dividend ETF as well because reinvesting dividends the only way I would be able to farther contribute to a LIRA or is that even necessary?

Q: XPEL released earnings this morning and the market does not like it. Mostly bad news in there and more head winds and issues they are dealing with. Its starting to seem like more bad quarters than good with XPEL and it'll be in the dog house for a while. But looking for your unbiased opinion, is it still a hold or start looking for the exit? Thx

Q: Hi 5i, I know you don't like to discuss politics, but I'm getting worried that there might be some political risk creeping up on BN. Last night during the LPC debate one of the candidates opening lied about knowing BN's planned move to the US, announced Oct 31st and letter sent to shareholders on Dec 1st, signed by person lying who resigned on Jan 17th from their board. Should I worry about BN's entanglement in this factual matter?

Thx

Q: In a recent comment on SAP the Debt was characterized as “pretty high” and a “concern”. Could you please quantify? The Net Debt / EBITDA looks to be around 2.0x which could be viewed as quite normal or even “good”. Perhaps the fact that the company has failed to grow despite carrying some Debt is the issue?

Q: Blackwell Weighing On Margins

Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress said Nvidia's adjusted gross margin is expected to be 71% in the current quarter. And it will be in the "low 70s" as Nvidia ramps Blackwell production.

"We expect a significant ramp of Blackwell in the first quarter," she said.

Nvidia's gross margins should return to the mid-70s later in the current fiscal year, she said.

In your professional opinion, how likely is this return to mid 70s margins?
Thanks very much
