Q: Hi 5i
I picked up some UBER @ ~69 in January. Now it is ~85 and earnings out next week. Normally I keep stocks 3 years or longer, but with 24% gain I'm considering taking profit. How does it usually react post earnings? With King Chump, you just never know when he will say or do something that spooks investors (perhaps firing Powell so he is the fall guy that gets blamed for the recession King Trump brought on with his tariff fiasco).
Thanks, Greg

Q: Hello Team,

I'm reviewing 2 of my holdings.

WGX - Do you still like this name as a long term gold hold or are there any other companies you would swap with. I hold LUCA as my only other gold stock.

ATH - Same question, do you still like this stock or any other names you would switch with. I hold CJ as my only other resource stock.

I'm okay with high risk high reward stocks.

Thanks

Q: Would you know much about Questrade’s new Securities Lending Program? It looks like everyone has to opt in when they log in to the platform, and it allows Questrade to lend out an investor’s stocks and ETF’s. Not sure how that works and why! The investor collects passive income but loses CIPF coverage, and according to Google, may not receive dividend payments while the shares are lent out. I’m not sure about it all so went in and opted out. Would you opt in? Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter, interested in your short term and longer term thoughts on BRK since Warren's announcement that he the legend is passing the reins to Greg Abel this year while he (W) will maintain a more advisory role. We all knew it would come but lol though it's still rattling inc making many of us feel older as well. The stock will likely drop on this, especially when combined with the tepid quarter. How much of a premium is built in due to Warren vs if it was just another holding company. Greg Abel (from Edmonton) is obviously extremely capable and we love his humility, energy and endorsement but how will the market see this ? Where would you add ? Thank you.

Q: Hi team,
What are you're views on CS,s latest quarter? Seems like the tariffs uncertainties are keeping a lid on their stock price! If we are heading into a recession would it be best to sell now and revisit at the end of the recession ,if their is one?Also their debt ratio seems elevated.Looking for a two to three year hold.
Many thanks,
Jean

Q: Hello 5i,
It appears that OPEC + is driving the price of oil down to pressure North American oil producers and regain market share. What might happen to the price of natural gas if there is a significant slowing of NA oil production. Which companies could benefit from this? Thank you for your response.
