Q: The other day you told someone not to continue a mistake if they realize they’ve made a mistake. The person went short and then the market had an up day. I think that was great advice. One of my biggest investing mistakes has been to double down on a losing hand. I think it’s a gamblers mentality. I just wanted to share this feedback. Thanks and please feel free to post my comment!
Q: Hi 5i,
Would appreciate your thoughts on DND at this current valuation. ($8.23 as of April 11/25)

Q: Hello,
Can you please recommend an ETF for the technology sector (US, CAN or international exposure) that can be held long term and with reasonable fee. Moderate risk. If not trading in $CAD, what are the implications if held in RRSP, TFSA or cash account? Thank you.

Q: Hello
Can PHYS, GLCC, GDXY and XGD be held in TFSA/RRSP accounts?
Is this collection a good mix?
Would AMAX be a better option than some of the aforementioned and if so, which would you replace with AMAX / drop completely.
Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
Do news stories like this affect the stock price of either the plaintiff or the defendant?
“Quebecor Inc.-subsidiary Videotron is suing Rogers Communications Inc. for $91 million over an alleged breach of contract related to the sale of Freedom Mobile two years ago.”
We have a small holding in QBR.B and although it’s slightly down in price compared to when we bought it, it certainly is holding up better than our large holding in BCE (down almost 50%, not including dividends), but BCE is an issue for another question!
Thanks for the great help you’ve supplied over the years.

Q: Good afternoon - Trump has been granted permission to at least temporarily fire two agency leaders. In your opinion has the risk of Jerome Powell being fired increased? And ultimately a losing an independent fed increased? Thanks
Q: With energy stocks lower due to this trade war, would this be a good time to look at getting into this sector assuming it would be through an energy ETF? If so, do you have a few names that trade in Canada that provide a decent return, and some safety through a lower payout ratio? Thanks for your insight.

Q: Hi 5i
"This time is different". With King Chump flying by the seat of his pants and his band of nutbars supporting his every insane move, is this time different? The US used to have checks and balances but it appears these have all been removed, allowing King DJT to do whatever crazy thing pops into his head (or appears in his social media feed). With his history of bankruptcies I worry that he is crazy enough to 'fix' their debt problems by defaulting. I'm not sure he understands the implications of this and who would stop him?
