Q: What sector do you think has a better outlook for the near to medium term: Oil and gas or banking? I have a bit of capital to deploy and was leaning towards a decent yielding dividend ETF in one of the 2. (If you don't want to be pigeon holed to either/or I could split it between both sectors or if you have a different sector suggestion that's more compelling I'm open to suggestions...)
Thanks very much

Q: I am currently a bit underweight consumer staples and would also like to tilt my portfolio a little bit defensive. My only holdings in the sector are ATD and PBH. Other than these, what would be your two top picks both in Canada and the US for new buying at this time in the sector.

Q: Hi 5i,

What would be your reasonably valued top 5 US stocks today with a balance of growth and income in mind (with a focus on dividend growth), regardless of sector. Thanks.

Q: Have the recent declines in these resource companies mainly due to the US new leadership tariff threats or more related to the diminishing China demand.
Would you feel the dividends are safe or should we expect cuts from VALE and others?

Q: It seems the thesis behind CLBT is very similar to that of AXON and Magnet Forensics (before being taken private); the increased need to digitalize police work to encompass growing amounts of data in an increasingly digitalized world along w/ the need to drive efficiency in policing due to increased societal threats and draws on manpower?

I also see that Sun Corporation owns 45% of CLBT shares which seems quite high - does this pose any outsized risk other than if they want to dump shares to raise cash?

How would you rate this stock in terms of risk/reward?

Many thanks as always!

Q: I saw some of your comments on CELH performance being poor and that it's "supposed to be a growth stock". What about purchasing it and considering it more of a value stock play?

I started a small position and looking at a 4+ year hold.

It's very popular on tiktok and with people who are super into fitness and it's so much better than monster and reb bull.

Q: Here I go again. I'm seeking your help to identify strong companies in Canada and the United States in the right sectors in the new Trump era that demonstrate 'relative safety' yet the potential to grow significantly. A bit of a reach. But I would appreciate your help to identify 5 Canadian and 5 American companies that could fit the bill. I have a relatively short time horizon - 3 years. Thanks for your appreciated support.
