Q: Looking for some suggesting for a quality consumer cyclical company in Canada or US. Maybe a growth company or two and an established company with great financial metrics but not growing as much.

Look forward to your suggestions. My time frame is irrelevant - just want good co’s

Q: Hi guys

Any of your thoughts on the Edenbrook Capital, LLC would be appreciated. As the biggest shareholder of Absolute they seem to saying management is giving the company away at the agreed takeover price.

Does this make a higher offer likely? Or a vote against the takeover.

Thanks Stuart

Q: A general question.
What happens if shareholders don't vote in the annual meeting's voting ballot that we receive from companies in our mail?
Mostly it's about board elections, approving executive pays, approving the auditing company and a few other shareholder proposals that we are not fully aware of and it consumes quiet a bit of our time on voting as sometimes there are 15 or more questions.
If we don't submit our vote is it considered as voted as per management recommendations or management gets to vote on our behalf or its considered abstain ?

Q: WHAT INVESTMENTS CANNOT BE BOUGHT FOR THE TAX FREE SAVINGS ACCOUNT (TFSA) ?

Q: Hi 5i team,

I’m thinking of selling a few stocks at a loss to balance out capital gains (I trimmed NVDA since my stock position got too high). I can cover an equivalent loss by selling two (or a combination of all 3) of the following stocks: DIS, TTD and CRWD. I bought all 3 at a much higher price. CRWD and TTD have had a nice bounce and I’m thinking that the near term environment of debt ceiling and sell in May could be a good time to take losses. I’m wondering if you have other items I should consider related to selling now versus later this year? If later, what would be a good time to consider?

I have other similar tech stocks such as GOOG and ZS and I’m wondering if I should consider another proxy for any or not bother? And I’m also wondering about re-buying at a reasonable entry point after 30 days for any of the 3 or simply move on?

I’d appreciate any insights you could provide.

Thanks as always,
Lisa

Q: Why is this preferred share index trading at 52 wk lows ? I believe interest rates are nearing their peak and when the numbers begin to show the recession spreading though out the economy ( rising unemployment etc.), feds may begin to ease.

Q: Can you comment on iFabric's recent financial results and business developments?

Q: current top picks in the oil and gas sector. Thanks!

Q: How would you rank these companies in terms of overall growth going forward in the energy sector. I'm currently holding TOU, WCP, TVE and KEL.

Largest position is in TOU at around 3% (+44%) and smaller positions in WCP (+69%), TVE (-9%) and KEL (-14%) . I could add to any of these names. How does TOU compare vs AR in terms of natural gas companies? AR has pulled back in the last year and today it was up close to 9% which I couldn't find any news. I'm thinking of selling some TOU or just starting a new position in AR. I also like that AR is buying back shares, have strong insider ownership, founder operated, strong margins and balance sheet. All metrics seem pretty strong with AR, any red flags that you see? Thoughts?

Q: Which of the above appeals the most for a five year high-risk AI play?

Q: I have always been puzzled by cyclical stocks. By way of example, I hold NTR in a non-registered account and have ridden it up (by 50%) and now down to 15%. Is the strategy for dealing with these stocks simply to ride out the bad times, knowing they will eventually cycle back? Or should I be selling on the way down and trying to figure out the best entry point when the stock starts to rebound? The matter is complicated, of course, by the tax consequences of selling in a non-registered account. Your advice regarding buying and selling cyclical stocks would be most appreciated. Thank you.
