Investment Q&A

Q: I see CI MSCI Canada Quality Index Class ETF (FQC.TO) is no longer available. This was an ETF that seemed to following 5i's investments strategy. It's replacement CI Canada Quality Dividend Growth Index ETF (DGRC.TO) is very different, with a much different sector allocation.

Is there another Canadian ETF that you would recommend as a replacement for FQC, that is similar to the 5i strategy?

Thank you,
CR

Q: What is you opinion on STC update release today? It implies revenue growth is returning for fiscal 2025 (as of July 1) and very low debt leverage less than 1.5 X EBITDA by yearend. Currently trading less than 1x revenues with big free cash flow, it seems like a good buy as new Management continues to execute its turnaround.

Q: In spite of Nvidia’s recent drop, I still find myself quite “tech heavy”, and I’m sure I’m not alone! Thinking of trimming, how would you rank these: NVDA, AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, MSFT, SHOP.

Q: Hi Team,
After the sell off of the last couple days now what are 3 of your favourite Canadian stocks you would be keen on buying today for a long term hold, regardless of sector ranked best to least. Also if there are any US names available as cdrs that are good buys today after some extreme selling I would be interested in those to.

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: If you believe there is a rotation happening in the market from mega caps and the direction of interest rates is lower (speculation US rate cute in september), what are your favorite CDN and US names (2-3 names each) that may outperform in that environment?

Thanks as always,

Dave

Q: In the "rotation" that is moving through the market what would be your top 5 stocks in each of the US and CDN markets that stand to benefit most (listed in order of conviction if relevant) and a brief note as to why.

Thanks,

Q: Could you please give me your opinion on HUT? It's had a good run the past couple of days. Thanks for all you do!

Q: I’m reviewing your report on GLXY and am somewhat confused with the ownership structure.
I am trying to understand this relationship and have a few questions.

GLXY only significant asset is 33.7% ownership in GDH.LP.

Am I correct that an investment in GLXY is an indirect but full investment in GDH.LP?

If GLXY only asset is the investment in GDH.LP why would GLXY have 440 employees worldwide?

Who are the other significant owners of GDH.LP?

Does GDH.LP trade on a market or is it private?

Based on your recommendation I did take a position on GLXY and I have done very well with it. And thank you in this regard.

I am now deciding if I should trim or hold and understanding this company structure will help me in my decision.

Thanks John

Q: From a pure growth perspective - what are five or six companies that excite you most right now?

Q: Could you please recommend 5 US stocks (any sector but tech) that have a good outlook for the next few years. I am not adverse to risk as this would be for my TFSA.

Q: Hello, I've been keeping an eye on hps.a for a while now and I'm considering getting in. With its earnings report approaching on the 25th, I'm wondering if I should wait until after the report is released before making a move. Would appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you!

Q: What will the effect of an interest rate lowering cycle be on Propel Holding’s earnings?

Q: I also like LULU for the longer term growth potential and the fact they seem to executing well on their plan to get to $12B in revenue by 2026. I'm optimistic about the Chinese growth opportunity, but I did see an interesting WSJ video this week in which they reported that young Chinese have less reverence for Western brands than previous generations.

Q: CVO is down more than 16% so far today, why?

What is your opinion of this company's prospects over the next 1 to 3 years? Reflecting on your most recent comments last month, how has your opinion changed ?

Does the management of this company and its track record to date support it being "shareholder friendly"?

Is this the classic "falling knife" story?

Do you consider it under valued or fairly valued?

What other Canadian companies in this sector would you consider to be under valued or fairly valued today?

Please feel free to add any additional comments worthy of consideration.

Q: Given that Propel has been increasing its dividend at a rapid clip the past few quarters, are they increasing their dividend in proportion to increasing profits per share OR are they simply increasing the dividend payout ratio?
