Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: So I bought GLXY at its peak of $34.00 and then watched it drop precipitously and then bought more at $15.00 so averaged out at $19.50 , it’s now $32.00. What a ride ! In my TFSA and still own.
I bought it because it is well managed, diversified in the crypto world, solid financials , future Nasdaq listing , and looks to benefit from Trump’s support of crypto.
While I have personally experienced its volatility I wish to mitigate such extremes as I recently experienced. I am worse at selling than buying a stock ( common to many investors ?) so am looking at stop loss orders. I believe you are not a fan but David Burrows uses them on every stock so thoughts vary on them. He uses point and click charts ? I was thinking of just using a simple % such as a 20% decline since it has such volatility. What is your suggestion on selling stocks and using certain dynamics when determining when to sell ? Thanks. Derek.

Q: Hello 5i
It's my understanding that GFL (industrial sector) was added to the BE portfolio in May 2025. Were there a total of two purchases totalling a 2.5% new position weight for that equity?
GFL's CEO is Patrick Dovigi and 5i considers it a big plus that Dovigi is also the founder of GFL.
1) can you please compare his pay package to those of the CEOs at WM, WCN and RSG?
2) in light of 2 above, can you shed any light about the governance of GFL and profitability of that company when C-suite compensation is factored into your thinking?
3)Dovigi's 2024 compensation seems out-sized by many factors. Was there a specific reason for that in 2024 or does relative overcompensation persist over multiple years at GFL?
Thanks in advance,
