Q: Good afternoon
In response to my question answered today Aug 13/24 regarding US small-cap ETF you suggested IJR as probably the best small cap US ETF
In the August ETF update, you “seem “to suggest that CALF might be a better option
Is my take away to purchase Calf over IJR , correct?
I realize you like both of these ETFs, but if you were to choose one only which would it be?
Thank you again

Q: I’m down on GXE in my TFSA and am thinking to add a bit more. It looks like they had a good quarter recently and there’s been lots of insider buying. What’s the outlook like for growth and the security of the dividend? Is there anything else to note other than being a small company in an out of favor sector?

Q: Given the recent dividend cut and share price decline, is AQN now a viable takeover candidate? I understand that an asset manager had acquired as small stake recently that gave them some seats on the board and they are pushing for change. The PB is cheap but they have a lot of debt. What is this company possibly worth per share if all debt was paid off?

Q: Hello 5i, I own Crew in a cash acct and TOU in my RSP acct I think if I take the shares they would go into the RSP acct but not sure as I do not want more shares in my RSP. Could you comment as to if Crew shares will pay a dividend or special dividend ?
I would like your opinion as to sell Crew shares now or wait to see if TOU shares increase in value over the next 2 month's.

Q: Hello, I own AQN in an RRSP account and would like to sell it. It will be a loss since I paid over 2 times what it is currently trading at.

I can sell it now or wait a few months. Does this stock typically increase during the fall as the seasons change? I am also wondering whether to wait for the next dividend payment. I understand that AQN may be selling off assets, presumably to raise cash, given it's high debt levels.

Any input on AQN would be helpful. Thank you.

Q: I'm a bit overweight on Energy. I'm also wondering if energy macro is deteriorating. I was thinking can oilseeds would be positive with transcontinental opening. But now I hear China demand is low, and if usa is in recession also not good. I assume canada in recession too. Can you help sort the macro out? Do you see oil prices generally low and deteriorating on the next 1-2 years? Or will demand be there?

Q: Dear 5i team.

I took a small position in TOU a few weeks ago for the income, and possible capital appreciation. It's gone south consistently for the past few weeks, so my capiatal loss far exceeds any income thus far. I know my timing has not been great, but is this the beginning of a down cycle, or do you think the propects of a bounce at some point is in the cards.
I'd like to hold this for a few years, but stumbling out of the blocks has me questioning my decision.

Thanks for your help.
