Q: Hi, Celestica shares pulled back, over past 2-3 days, along with most AI related stocks. However, most of these names including CLS nicely bounced back today. I managed to start a small 1% position, yesterday at $59. Based on your favourable comments ( also in 5i Growth Portfolio), and as a strong beneficiary of the AI related future growth, I would be inclined to hold on to this as a core position and may be add more, over time. What is your view on its current valuation and where do you see the stock in, say 18-24 months from now ? Thanks

Q: On March 4 you wrote, "We do like the outlook for REITs and think that as rates stabilize and even decline, the sector should benefit. Out of the two REITs mentioned we like XRE better due to the bigger size and slightly lower expense ratio."

On January 12 you wrote, "HCRE is an equal-weight REIT ETF, which has a small AUM of $48.3M, a relatively low MER of 0.33%, and a yield of 5.9%.

ZRE is also an equal-weight REIT ETF, but has a much larger AUM of $583.7M, an MER of 0.61%, and a yield of 5.1%. XRE is not equal-weight, has a large AUM of $1.0B, a yield of 5.4%, and an MER of 0.61%.

ZRE has outperformed XRE over a long period of time, and thus we like the equal-weight approach."

Can you please clarify your preference for either XRE or ZRE and the main reason for that preference? I gather your preference is for ZRE given it is part of one of your portfolios. It is just that your March 4 response has led me to wonder.

Thanks as always for your expertise.

Q: I was just looking at VBNK. The company's performance data looks extremely compelling, And also company insider buying is extensive ; more than what I ever recall seeing on any of the companies I follow. Could you please provide me with an analysis of the investment merits of the company. Also could you compare this company for potential purchase with EQB. What would be your preference, or would a position in both be advisable? Thanks.

Q: I currently have HCAL in a growth orientated TFSA and I don't think this is a good fit.
Currently, I hold Goog, SHOP, LMN & CLS. Do have a few ideas for a stock that could replace the HCAL ETF?

Q: What's the deal with lumine, the added shares and large minus in EPS. The bottom line for me as a shareholder is there going to be a precipitous fall in the shares or are we going to see a consolidation ahead. Too many companies add to their share count and then fall. I want to keep the faith but I've been burned before. So what's the verdict; sell, hold or buy.

Q: Gold is at new highs but based on a review of recent answers, gold miners are not seeing share price appreciation because of the costs of production and other factors.
Are there any gold stocks that you think are worth buying?
