Q: Hello, do you have any plans to add a comparison option within that chart display when viewing a companies profile? This would be very useful when comparing different companies within the same industry and aid in researching companies on my buy list. Also, would be extremely helpful when comparing a CDR performance with its US listed twin to determine the impact of currency hedging on overall return over a period of time. Thanks for the great service that you provide.

i would like to get your opinions on what investors should do given possibly an inevitable market correction.
many portfolios have gone up over 25% this year, which likely is not sustainable

Thank you in advance

Q: Hello Peter,
These two stocks are the dogs in my portfolio and am not sure they will recover in a few years to get my money back. I was thinking of adding to BN, but was wondering if gold would be a better choice. I am just worried as gold is quite high and it could do the same as two i own when the whole world was talking about green energy. Gold could do a reversal .Instead of adding to BN, what would you recommend for gold exposure.. any thoughts please? Also, any comments on why Lumine group continues to slide? Appreciate it

Q: I have benefitted from your service and am happy I discovered it. It has enabled me to buy stocks you have a high conviction in while there is still significant upside.

The additional area that I think would benefit subscribers is to advise when you are cooling on previously recommended stocks.

In some instances, I have held recommended stocks well past their best before date, resulting in losses where there were previously gains.

Some old flavour of the day stocks that come to mind are ecn, goos, toy.

I know you actively manage the model portfolios, and that it's ultimately my responsibility to manage my own portfolio, but I know it would help me (and perhaps others), to understand in a more timely manner when a high conviction stock not in the model portfolio moves from a Strong Buy to a Hold or Sell.

I'm identifying a need, but don't know how this would work. Thanks for considering.

Q: Hi,
Could you illustrate to us all what type of companies/stocks and/or sectors historically have performed the best ( or least worst ) over periods of recession/depression/stagflation and war times? And further, can you provide your top 5-10 CDN stocks that you think would do best in these situations, with at least half of them dividend payers please, if possible. Potential ETF and options strategies would be appreciated as well. Take as many points as you see fit.
cheers and thanks, Chris

Q: Hello 5i,
In a US $ account, I hold AEM, TRI FSV WCN and BIPC. I just checked my RBC direct investing account and the dividends for BIPC and WCN are off (a bit). As far as you are aware, should i be receiving the full dividend without conversion nicks?

Also, on the 5i site I used to be able find the USD beside the dividend listed for the companies I track that pay divies in USD. That is currently not the case for the full set. Has your data source changed? Or perhaps the policies at the companies changed?

TIA!

Q: Do you know what % of the companies sales come from Costco? I understand they are finished a $1B capital spend having expanded production facilities in the US. I know they are on the cusp of large anticipated cash flow increases from the expansion. Will producing there largely shield them from tariffs? Would you buy it now? What are the risks? Debt? Thank you.
