Q: Hi Team,
I was looking at adding to either Bn, PRL , Eqb, or HPS.A. Or possibly a new purchase of Lulu for a recovery play here . Could you please rank these names in order which you would prefer to buy today for long term capital appreciation? If you feel there are better opportunities you prefer buying today ideas would be appreciated . Thanks

Shane

Q: I was doing a high level look at my portfolio in terms of recent vs 3, 5, and 10 yr CAGR and saw what I expected from stellar performers like CSU, TRI, WSP, IFC and DSG. What surprised me was seemingly declining longer term performance (ie pre-dating interest rate changes) from FTS, QSR, GIB.A, and EIF. The balance of the portfolio is holding it’s own or is cyclical or I can see a path to renewed growth/performance. Are the four named really lagging or am I looking at the wrong metrics? If you agree they might be considered to be faltering versus past performance can you suggest “growthier” replacements without going too far out the risk scale? Thank you.

Q: This sentence comes from an Goldman Sachs article. What are some examples of the “Utilities” companies referred to here? ….he sees more room for the AI theme to run and expects AI beneficiaries to broaden out beyond just Nvidia, and particularly to what looks set to be the next big winner: Utilities.

Q: Is there an ex-Canada ETF "acceptable to 5i Research" similar to VXC, but perhaps a bit less U.S. exposure. I already have IQLT, so I don't need an ETF that is necessarily ex-North America.

Q: Hello, SPRY is a company developing an alternative treatment for anaphylaxis treatment. I am wondering about the team's thoughts on its current valuation and if it seems reasonable given the company's prospects. Also given favorable inflation data continuing, could this small-cap have good price appreciation potential with lowering interest rates?
Thank you.

Q: I see CI MSCI Canada Quality Index Class ETF (FQC.TO) is no longer available. This was an ETF that seemed to following 5i's investments strategy. It's replacement CI Canada Quality Dividend Growth Index ETF (DGRC.TO) is very different, with a much different sector allocation.

Is there another Canadian ETF that you would recommend as a replacement for FQC, that is similar to the 5i strategy?

Thank you,
CR

Q: YAMCF is Yamaha and was recommended recently on Market Call. I have been watching and it seems to be doing fairly well. It also has another name YAMHF still representing Yamaha. Can you give me your take on Yamaha. SMR was one you had talked about some time ago and is on my 5i Watchlist. It has dropped off considerably. Would you have an update on it?

Q: hello 5i:
I'm looking for an ETF with attributes similar to ZWH, but with more an international flavour, so not purely a US focus. Suggestions?
thanks

Q: I’ve seen multiple articles now from some very established sources, stating that we currently do not even come close to producing the amount of copper required to meet the political goals related to the reduction in the reliance on fossil fuels. More mines will be required, but they take decades to construct. In the meantime, will this be beneficial to current producers like Capstone? If so, is Capstone a good company or are there other companies that are better? Thanks

Q: Can you tell me if Brookfield has divested of its shares in Superior Plus? I had thought they would have bought them out by now. Also, has Superior Plus cut their dividend. I bought it years ago for the yield but I am down considerably. Would you cut your losses and move on or is it too cheap to sell now.
And if I sell, what to replace it with.

Q: I recently upgraded my subscription and received the Canadian Money Saver magazine subscription, which I'm really enjoying. In the most recent issue there is a page of top US dividends within a certain criteria. I was surprised at the number of funds paying 10% plus divs. I realize that this isn't always a safe investment, but in light of rates falling, I wonder if you have a few suggestions for high dividend paying etf's (US and or Cdn) or REITs that would have capital preservation (generally maintain share price, or increase) as the rates come down, but realize income through the div.
