Q: selkirk copper

I am interested in copper plays, have beem burned a few times, cost over runs flooding etc. I saw an ad blurp on bnn. They are starting an old mine (minto I think). How do you feel about this one? I guess if they don't increase the resource it will be a good buy Charlie, worth the risk?
Thanks

Q: I am considering selling CVS and moving into a higher quality holding in the health care sector with less political risk. I know you like LLY and ISRG, but I already have sufficient pharmaceutical exposure and prefer to own dividend-paying stocks inside my RRIF. I was thinking of ZTS, which is in animal health, or SYK, both of which are higher quality companies that seem to be offering good entry points near 52 week lows. On the other hand, CVS has run up nicely and the turnaround under the new CEO seems to be going well. So would you hang on to CVS or would you sell and move on? And which of ZTS and SYK would you say is the better quality long term holding? Anything I am missing?

Q: Hello 5i Team,
Between RioCan and SmartCentres, which would you prefer for an income portfolio? SRU pays a larger dividend, but is there any additional risk with it compared to RioCan?
How do the payout ratios and balance sheets compare?
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: Hello 5i,

We have a combined position of 2% with XBM (25%), MP, 25%) and REMX (50%). Is there a stock or ETF that should be added to this suite as we may be light on copper, nickel, cobalt, or other minerals for battery and AI growth. If we were to increase the combined position to 3% or 4%, would you increase one more over the others?

Thank you

Q: Where is Palentir headed? Of course, we've known for a long time that it's an overvalued stock; we also know it's in its DNA. But this decline continues even after excellent results, which is more than worrying. Is all this due to its partnership with Google? Can you explain the ins and outs of this relationship? Ultimately, in your opinion, should we sell or hold?

Thank you in advance for your much-appreciated insights.
