Q: Hi, I'm sure you are going to lots of GSY inquries today.

Earlier today you had mentioned GSY as a mid cap suggestion...
Mid: GSY, MDA, BDGI, CPX, X

Given the more recent news out today (after your initial reply) and that it is now down approx 45% this am, I'm assuming this might be dead money for the rest of the year and perhaps now a 'show me' story into 2027 as per their revised guidance.
What would you replace GSY with in this context of midcap pics?
Also does this most recent news/guidance change the overall rating of GSY?

Cheers,
Steve

Q: Seeking to diversify away from Industrials and Tech stocks in my TFSA, as well as too much CAD. I have followed the mantra of putting primarily small to medium cap stocks in it.

Q: Can you help me understand why one would hold a company like Amazon with a 10% return in the last 12 months and 40% increase in the last 5 years compared to an ETF like VOO with a 20% return in the last 12 months and 73% increase in the last 5 years?

Where I struggle is, why take on the added risk of holding an individual stock compared to a diversified ETF? Clearly it’s shown to out perform the individual stock.

I understand holding both are likely ideal, but can you provide a reason to not sell Amazon and add to VOO? Thank you

Q: Could you translate your answer to JR on GSY from " business speak " to " plain english " for me ? Specifically define what a " Charge off " is ? .....What the charge off was ? Why it is significant ? { the 14% number } .... Why are they expected to decline in 2027 ? ..... What a " breach of covenants " is ? And what are the breach of covenants are in GSY's case ? And why is this significant ? And what the the statement " it has signed agreements " to provide relief means ? ........ And what all this has to do with Lendcare ? .....Thanks for your terrific service ....

{ On the upside . thank you for your previous answer to me regarding position size . By cutting my position in half this has been a lot less painful } ...

Q: Thanks for your comments today on GSY. Just a further concern.

We are seeing these negative events happening now. What happens to GSY's business if we go even deeper into an economic downturn ? One could argue that the economy isn't currently great now, however we've seen it get way worse in the past. GSY was down about 76% from highs (worst case) in the past. Since the Sep. '25 highs, we're closing in on that point here. Your comments on that scenario ?
