Investment Q&A

Q: This stock lost about 60% in 2 days after they failed to reach a settlement with the U.S. EPA and now will have to go to court,I think I read their copper reserves there are one of the biggest reserves in the world,very bigly,I’m surprised Trumps henchman couldn’t get that pushed through,do you think there’s any value waiting and how long might that be..your thoughts on the project going forward thanks in a bigly way lol

Q: Good afternoon 5i;

I have been a holder of the TLT ETF for some time; only a very short period was it in the green. While the yield has been decent, I am now down 14% as the Jerome Powell cage gets rattled.

My question is simply, are the Trumpian risks becoming too much to hold this ETF? I believe he is radical enough to remove Powell, but likely won't and will just continue to make noise. Even the noise is having impact.

If yes, do you have a Canadian Bond Fund you might recommend of similar characteristics?

Q: Would you please give me your opinion on this new ticker "GrabAGun Digital Holdings PEW:NYSE ; " .
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
Dominari Holdings (DOMH) , other than the two sons of Trump association with this Co. Is there something here worth keeping an eye on??
thank you

Appreciate your great service

Q: Short covering, I dont see any news?

Q: When talk all started about Trump and tariffs I cashed out of the market and have been sitting on the side lines. I realize the BS is far from over but am thinking on getting back in. What top 5 CAN and top 5 US picks be for a TFSA account. Looking to hold for 3 yrs.

Q: I read your notes on ERO June 10 which were positive so wondered why this issue has been hit so much harder than others in their sector. It seems a candidate for recovery - is this likely or are there other factors to account for? Appreciate your response.

Q: Can you please compare and contrast these two companies? KTOS has great momentum which makes sense. AVAV had the same until its capital raise a week or so ago. If someone wanted a growth tilted investment in the defence sector with an eye to Trump's bill would you choose one over the other and why? What would your entry point be for both?

Q: Is this a good time to initiate a position in this company?

Q: I'm trying to understand HPYT and what factors will influence the market price . In Dec. 23 market price was $12.83 and yield was 14% . Today it is $8.91 and yield is 20% . Am I correct in assuming as the price drops the yield will rise ? I did notice that since inception HPYT has paid .15 cents a month . Up until the recent June payment which was .13 cents. Why the decrease ?

What factors influence the market price ? Interest rates I assume . What effect will rising interest rates have on the price ? And what effect will dropping interest rates have ?

What effect will a Taco tariff policy have on the price ?

Will the " Great Big Beautiful Bill " have an effect on the price ? Going to be a substantial increase in U.S. debt .....

Will the price be influenced by Trump's rhetoric of replacing Powell ? And what effect will that be ? .....I can't imagine Mr Market will react positively to a politically motivated Fed Chair .....

Can I slot this into the fixed income portion of my portfolio or is it too volatile ?
Basically I would like to know the various factors 5i feels will influence the price/yield of this security .....

Thanks for your terrific service .....

Q: Gold and related companies got whacked yesterday, seemingly in the wake of Trumps announced tariff on copper. But copper and gold are different, right? Would you recommend Agi or any similar companies as opportunistic buys? Or do you see gold continuing weaker?

Q: I’m curious if trumps copper tariffs will likely have a negative or even positive impact on ARG’s financials? The spot copper price seemed to spike higher… but tariffs? Appreciate your take. Thanks

Q: How do you like its future. 10 years forward looking is there a large addressable market for growth & profitability. Could it be a take over target?

Q: With the current tariff situation and the direction of Donald Trump unclear to say the least, would you continue to hold, add to holding, or sell? Have a gain in the stock still even with the significant downtrend since early April.

Q: According to CNN, "Currently, gamblers can deduct their losses before paying taxes on their winnings. Under Trump’s bill, though, they’ll be able to deduct just 90% of their losses. For example: Win $100,000, but lose $80,000? You’ll have made $20,000 but owe taxes on $28,000. “This new amendment to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act would end professional gambling in the US and hurt casual gamblers, too,” professional poker player Phil Galfond said on X. “You could pay more in tax than you won.”
An easy question for you, as it's more or less just speculation, but how could you see this affecting these two stocks? Thank you!

I currently enjoy some healthy dividends from holdings within an rrsp, how might these be affected? Thanks for your insight, as usual!

Q: I note the question and your response on this today but was wondering if you might add a comment on the current valuation and whether it is reaching fair value or not.
Thanks

Q: Sounds like President Trump is going to get involved helping the AI sector, specifically the huge power requirements. Looking for some investing ideas that will benefit from the presumed increased spending?
