Investment Q&A

Q: I am interested in your general perspective on OKLO. Given the recent pull-back I am curious what price you see as being attractive as an entry point (if at all).

Q: Please see below some recent commentary from The Economist. Can you please provide your thoughts? Could you also please suggest one or two US listed ETFs that fit the bill and ideally have worldwide coverage?

From: How to Hedge a Bubble, AI Edition

“Some of the most effective hedging strategies the Goldman analysts found fell into the third category: combinations of stocks and non-bond diversifiers. In fact, the best diversifiers were mostly filtered baskets of stocks, such as the S&P 500 “low volatility” subindex, which includes the 100 least volatile stocks in the main index. A 50/50 split between this and the S&P 500 would, from 1996 to 2002, have generated nearly twice the annualised excess returns (over cash) of the S&P 500 index alone. So would a similar split with the S&P 500 “dividend aristocrats” index, which includes only companies that have increased their dividends every year for the past 25. Diversifying into “quality” stocks (with high returns on equity, stable earnings and low net debt) would have brought similar returns.
Today, the idea that the best way to hedge equity risk is with equities feels unsatisfying. Considering the alternatives, though, it might just be the best shareholders can do.”

Q: What do you think of the quarterly results. would you shortlist for including in the investment portfolio after the 10% drop?

Q: Given the age of Prem Watsa, does Fairfax have a detailed succession plan? Is anyone being groomed? What do you feel the impact on the company would be if something happened to Prem? The P/E seems quite low at 7.83. Is this a relatively safe entry point? What do you see as the biggest concerns with this company?

Thanks

Q: I hope I don't sound naive asking this question, but I keep hearing that proprietary data is something of a moat for TRI, and for companies like X, SPGI, and perhaps even businesses like yours.

What is to prevent an AI engine like Anthropic from simply buying a membership and then having access to that data with which to answer questions?

Q: Hi,
Been waiting to buy TRI as it is really oversold, but still dropping. How will we know when we get to total capitulation (and the bottom).

Is someone going to ring a bell? lol

Q: " AI-focused logistics firm Algorhythm Holdings said its SemiCab unit boosted customers' freight volumes by 300%-400% "without ‌a corresponding increase in operational headcount."

The above AI powered logistics tool news caused a havoc among most Trucking and Logistics stocks resulting a drop of 10-20 %, in Thursday's trade, giving back all gains of last few weeks. Dow Jones Transportation Index was down 4%, today.

Do you see this as a long term threat to the sector ?

I am curious to have your take on whether this news/AI scare could impact rail stocks also, in any way.

We were planning to initiate a position in CNR, but not sure, if the move warrants a caution in near term.

Thank You

Q: Do you know if the big drop is due to the multinational Defence, Security, and Resilience Bank (DSRB) announcement? Maybe the competition from engineering firms outside Canada ? ..

Q: Hi! Any reason for the 12% today? Thanks!

Q: Kraken Robotics shares lost 10% in Thursday's trading on a day when most defence stocks closed higher ( Even with DOW and Nasdaq closing in red ).

What could be behind the selling ? Should we be concerned ?

With Anduril Inc, expected to go public, some time this year, my impression has been that PNG should be acting strong ( as a proxy ). Your thoughts, please.

Thank You

Q: Apparently the brokerages which deal in the gold trade were recently advised, by the regulator, to revise the allowable margin calculation. (based on gold holdings). This significantly reduced the allowable margin amounts. I understand that a letter from the regulator suggests that the reason for the change is that it views that the price of gold, and the volatility are too high. Too many investors might get hurt.
My question is: Is the regulator all that altruistic or are there geopolitical issues at play here which a prudent investor should be aware of?
Thanks for your insightful thoughts.

Q: Terravest stock seems to be losing its lustre as a reliable compounder. Over past year, Co has not displayed much consistency with its earnings. One quarter is good then the next is not so much. Tariffs continue to haunt its prospects for growth and profitability.

Management has done well on acquisition front, but debts also continues to rise.

Stock has been in 5i portfolio for many years and has done well.

How many quarters, in your view, it could take for the Co to generate more confidence with investors ?

Thank You

Q: Could you explain why TMX group has dropped so much lately and would it be a good time to buy?
Thanks

Q: Would appreciate your advice on ranking our material sector holdings with the goal of consolidating those with the highest conviction. Would you suggest others in this sector that could be added - such as NTR.

Q: WCN is under pressure. Please comment on recent earnings and possible reasons for the downtrend. Thanks.

Q: Hi there, can this price action for CNQ continue to be supported here?
Why the strong march upward today, Wednesday?

Why the sudden increase in these shares in 2026?

On the flip side, why is LGN so muted here and not participating at all?
Is it tightly held and controlled?

Can PEY continue its upward march here too and why?

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Q: Do you still like NBIS and is it a buy today?

Q: Peter; Did someone put “ sell everything” in everyone’s coffee thus AM? Rod
