Q: I'm curious about companies that have been rather lacklustre but somehow have experienced some catalyst that has allowed them to gain their footing once again and recently started to move up in value considerably. Not worried about size of company nor what sector they are in could you suggest 5 Canadian and 5 American companies that fit the bill.

Q: Hi Peter,

Can you please give your initial take the impact of Willow developed by Alphabet on the stock price of NVDA.
The stock price takes into account the future growth of the company, its market share in the growing AI and Quantum computing marketplace with the expectation the earnings will grow significantly to bring down the P/E ratio.
With Willow coming into the market a few years from now, what is the impact on NVDA's dollar price today; in your view?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Hello,
I’m not sure if this question is out of scope. However my daughter and son in law are moving from Switzerland to Canada in the new year. They have some questions regarding their investments so I thought I would see if your team can help with answers.
- We have UCITS Irish domiciled ETFs so that we don’t have to pay US withholding tax - are these available in Canada?
- If not, are there any options to invest in for example an S&P 500 ETF (or other US ETFs) without having to pay withholding tax?
- do you have a brokerage account that you recommend? We currently use CornerTrader/CornerBank but they are not present in Canada so we have to switch

Q: Greetings:
I have held the above in my RRIF for quite some time, and under water. The interest is adequate, but eaten up badly by the loss of capital. I thought that as interest came down it would benefit the MIC'S, but not so!! What is the outlook for this one? Under what conditions would it improve? Is it just poor management?

Thanks, BEN.

Q: Hi Guys

Thanks for all the amazing work you do to support us investors. Putting new money to work and looking out on at least a 3 year (tend to be a buy and hold investor) which of the four stocks would you buy today looking at total return? If you could rank them from your most strongest being 1st that would be great.

Thanks

Q: Good morning 5I team: Today's question is on a small cap on the NASDAQ ticker LX. It is in the Consumer Financials space and is a FinTech company. With the continued move to going digital for 'everything' is it time to pull the trigger on this one and take a nibble? Thinking of holding for 1 to two years and adding a little along the way. Would love your thoughts! I fortunately don't need to convert CAN to USD so this isn't a factor in my decision. Thanks!

Q: In a recent answer about DIR.UN you mentioned reports of inventory buildups in the US in anticipation of potential tariffs with the incoming administration. Would PLD be a good way to take advantage of this possible trend? Between PLD and DIR, which REIT do you prefer for the long-term (5+ years)?
