Q: I read one of the questions pertaining to GoEasy which talked about them being resilient during the 2008 financial crisis. In 2008, were companies such as GoEasy really impacted here in Canada ,as the banking regulations are different in Canada and the crisis was much more prevalent in the US. But this time around, if the tariff's kick in and a recession hits Canada, do you believe that GoEasy will still be able to weather the storm in a similar fashion, as I feel that there has been a very huge selloff of GoEasy in recent months. Do you think it may be overdone?

Q: I figured it was coming sooner or later. What are your thoughts on the donalds latest blathering about allowing US banks in to Canada. I can not see them being interested as the market is well served now. With the current sentiment towards America it would be tough to gain any foothold in Canada. Your thoughts please.

Q: FOUR has bounced back. I sold it when Trump tapped Isaacman as head of NASA because of uncertainty. Is there more certainty that the stock can survive his exit intact, or is it rising on speculation of selling the co?

Q: ARES vs. APO:

APO's P/E ratio (18.6) is significantly lower than ARES's (90). Is there a reason for this discrepancy? Which one is a better buy?

In the past three years, both stocks have surged nearly 300%, marking a substantial increase. Any comments or insights on this?

Thanks.

Q: Hi !

Graceful if you would provide your views on IBKR now.

Its price has now doubled in less than a year and it seems to have positive momentum.

Would you let that particular winner run or add to it or reduce ?

Which are, in order, your favorites for growth in that sector ? And, what about an etf ?

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: I have owned RY inside my RRIF for over 20 years and it has done very well. However it now seems to be trading at a premium to the other Canadian Banks. I hold it primarily to generate income, so I am wondering if I should sell it around the $180 level and invest the proceeds into another Canadian bank. I already hold TD, BMO and BNS and wonder which of NA and CM would you prefer? Or would you stick with RY despite its premium pricing and lower yield?
