Q: Hi, just looking at CPX, (unbelievable). I missed out on this one , not my first or last miss, but was wondering if you could provide two or three recommendations that are geared towards the electrification boom that is here or coming. (I already have HPS.A) or is CPX still the one to buy?
Thanks

Q: I'm not sure what the differences between these companies are? In this theme of electrification, what areas and which specific US and CDN companies would you suggest for a long term hold?

Q: Can you suggest some good ways to invest in the future of nuclear energy, such as individual stocks or ETFs?

Q: Hello

What is your view on starting a new position for long term, in Constellation Energy, after Monday's 12.5% decline ?

The quarterly results and the guidance, as reported today morning, seem to be impressive, handily beating street estimates. What are your thoughts ?

Apparently most nuclear energy stocks were down today, in response to FERC decision to reject a proposal from the grid operator to ramp up the amount of power supplied to Amazon's data centre by Talen Energy. The FERC said in its filing Friday that it rejected the Amazon nuclear power agreement due in part to concerns that it could threaten the reliability of the power grid and raise energy costs for the public.

How could this impact CSG's 20 years power deal with Microsoft, which still needs approval from the NRC ?

Thank You

Q: Please provide me with a few recommended tickers that would benefit from supporting the data centers in USA with their electric needs.

Q: Good Day,

Edit: I got to the end of this and realize there is a lot to unpack here. My apologies and please forgive the transient nature of my ADD brain. Take however many credits you need.

I really enjoyed Jonathans question and your subsequent answer on Oct 10. Continuing on that thread, I too consider myself primarily a growth investor, and have a fairly high tolerance for risk. However, in contradiction (somewhat) to that, I also Love equities with a DRIP program.

I'm planning on making a significant contribution to my RRSP investment account to hopefully capitalize on some opportunities/ tax loss selling in the end of the year, and enjoying the tax break in April.

1. I think? I have a pretty solid basket of growth names, significantly from 5i recommendations. CALF CLBT CROX MSFT NVDA POWL SMCI TCS TMDX AMZN ASPN HPS LMN TVK VRT. In the growth space, Please provide 6 recommendations (CAD, US) ranked in decreasing order of preference that you would consider beneficial to these. If any of these current positions are in a very attractive place to add, you could suggest that with a why.

2. In the dividend/DRIP space, I have DE CHE.UN ZWT BAM SU PPL. About a month ago, I sold my BEP and BNS and rolled them in to my double up my BAM, which paid off, but am considering a re-buy. Reading the questions lately, you have been big on BNS and TD, but seem to contradict yourselves on it. Often recommending BNS over TD, only to recommend to someone that holds both to cut BNS over TD if only one is to be held. Are they that close in terms of future runway/room to grow/total returns? With my Love of DRIPs, would you give the edge to BNS due to the higher dividend? Could you recommend 3 - 5 options in this space, preferably holdings that would require less than 10K (20K for very high conviction) invested to DRIP a unit. ETFs are OK with low fees and higher Dividend.

3. In Jonathans question you commented on Materials being a great addition to a growth investors portfolio as a semi uncorrelated diversification. I've held LUN and LIF in the past, but with the power demands and resurgence of Nuclear, are there better options out there? Please provide 2-3 dividend paying and up to 5 growth options in this space.

4. Is GOOG a buy here? I fully agree that the impact was way overblown. Is it worth getting into one of the 2x leverage tickers for GOOG if ones conviction is very high? Is there any company you would consider a leveraged holding on? If so, which?

Thanks for everything!!!

Greg

Q: Could you please offer a few of your best ideas for how to profit from the increased energy demands from AI, Cloud, Crypto etc. ETFs and individual stock ideas would be appreciated (in USD or CAD). Thank you very much.

Q: Hello,

Given the anticipated AI growth could you provide some names of companies with the largest short to long term growth potential in the following categories:

1. Chip Design
2. Data Processing
3. Business Application Design
4. Data Centers
5. Power Supply (for the Data Centers)

Thank you!

Q: So much news these days about the ramp up to electric vehicles and the eventual elimination of internal combustion engines.

Governments have committed to installing charging stations to accommodate future demand.

What is the current status of power generating facilities. How easily can they ramp up supply to satisfy the future demand or is there already enough capacity.

What are your favourite Canadian and US power generators to satisfy this demand. Thank you

Q: Between Vistra, NEG and Constellation Energy…which one do you think has the most upside?
Would you pick one or invest an equal amount of money in each for diversification?
Would Cameco be a comparable?

Q: Hi there, what would be your top picks in the Data Centre infrastructure space (real estate, utilities power, industrial, technology etc) for 3-5 years.

Ok thanks

Rob

Q: There is alot of talk about nuclear energy for plant renewals or upgrades. Also a lot of (Small modular reactors). Rolls Royce .Are any of these worth looking at for investments. I have a lot of points for answer. What companies would benefit most in near future. From mining to eng'r to construction.

Q: I missed the recent pop in CEG although I've done quite well in Vistra which I still hold. Other than Vistra, what USA stocks would you recommend for an AI-related energy play? I'm thinking GEV? Thank you,

Jason

Q: With the opening of three mile island for Microsoft. AI will require huge amounts of electric power, Is this a potential area of investment?
