Q: This weekend's Barrons magazine mentnioned Fairfax as a successful company that emulate's Berkshire's strategy and secret to success—and investor returns—combining investments and aquiring insurance businesses.
“It’s a three-engine strategy,” says TD Cowen analyst Andrew Kligerman, commenting on what Berkshire has done right. He ticks off insurance, investments, and wholly owned businesses. “You need to fire on each cylinder to make it work.”

Q: Greetings 5i,

Looking for diversification for the wife's portfolio. We hold within the TD platform, TD WebBroker. Specifically regarding TDs ETFs I had thought that some of their ETFs had no transaction fees associated with purchases. Usually within TD WebBroker there is a $9.99 fee for most transactions and I am trying to get around that for the ETFs we are considering. I thought 5i may have this information available and could you list the ETFs that have no transaction/trading fee through the TD WebBroker.

Cheers!

Q: Greetings 5i,

Made a killing on Oklo and sold with the last pop. 114% thank you, Ill take that and run. Possibly will revisit Oklo if there is significant pull back from its highs.

All the same selling Oklo has left a spot in my portfolio where I would have liked to keep something related to the energy needed for all the new AI data centers. My main question is regarding GE Vernova, which I think trades both in CAD and USD. I see that GEV has started construction on a SMR near Toronto with at least 3 others approved. Is this a fair play on the need/push/development of SMRs for Ai and datacenter needs?

Cheers!

Q: What are your thoughts on EWH these days? I'm considering investing as I have zero exposure to the China market. I have such little confidence in their legal system that I am hesitant. Any other suggestions re China? Thanks
