Q: Hi, I'm sure you are going to lots of GSY inquries today.

Earlier today you had mentioned GSY as a mid cap suggestion...
Mid: GSY, MDA, BDGI, CPX, X

Given the more recent news out today (after your initial reply) and that it is now down approx 45% this am, I'm assuming this might be dead money for the rest of the year and perhaps now a 'show me' story into 2027 as per their revised guidance.
What would you replace GSY with in this context of midcap pics?
Also does this most recent news/guidance change the overall rating of GSY?

Cheers,
Steve

Q: Seeking to diversify away from Industrials and Tech stocks in my TFSA, as well as too much CAD. I have followed the mantra of putting primarily small to medium cap stocks in it. What would you be your favorite growth stock in order of preference (top 5) that would be purchased in the next week or so?

Q: Can you help me understand why one would hold a company like Amazon with a 10% return in the last 12 months and 40% increase in the last 5 years compared to an ETF like VOO with a 20% return in the last 12 months and 73% increase in the last 5 years?

Where I struggle is, why take on the added risk of holding an individual stock compared to a diversified ETF? Clearly it’s shown to out perform the individual stock.

I understand holding both are likely ideal, but can you provide a reason to not sell Amazon and add to VOO? Thank you

Q: Could you translate your answer to JR on GSY from " business speak " to " plain english " for me ? Specifically define what a " Charge off " is ? .....What the charge off was ? Why it is significant ? { the 14% number } .... Why are they expected to decline in 2027 ? ..... What a " breach of covenants " is ? And what are the breach of covenants are in GSY's case ? And why is this significant ? And what the the statement " it has signed agreements " to provide relief means ? ........ And what all this has to do with Lendcare ? .....Thanks for your terrific service ....

{ On the upside . thank you for your previous answer to me regarding position size . By cutting my position in half this has been a lot less painful } ...

Q: Thanks for your comments today on GSY. Just a further concern.

We are seeing these negative events happening now. What happens to GSY's business if we go even deeper into an economic downturn ? One could argue that the economy isn't currently great now, however we've seen it get way worse in the past. GSY was down about 76% from highs (worst case) in the past. Since the Sep. '25 highs, we're closing in on that point here. Your comments on that scenario ?

Q: Greetings 5i, would you add to an existing position in TFI International or start a new position in Canadian National Railway? Would doing both provide good diversification in transports or would you look at something else? ? Thank you.
