Q: Hi folks. I am very happy overall with how my portfolio is doing, due in large part to 5i. Thank you. However I do have one dog, which keeps hitting new lows. The good news is that it pays a nice dividend, and I only have a 1/3 postition. But I am tired of watching it sink... now down 47%. What are your thoughts... should I cut it loose? Unfortunately it's in my RRIF. David

Q: At what price does Laurentian Bank become interesting? Yeah, they've had problems but the dividend is pretty high and a while ago you though it was somewhat secure. It is trading at a ten year low price. Plus, if I have the right book value, we have a bank selling well below book value.

Don Coxe used to like quoting Stein's law which says "that which cannot continue will cease." Any thoughts as to how that might play out for this bank? (sell to somebody or eventual price rise or quietly disappearing...)

Q: I want to add a US small cap ETF and am looking at IJR, IWM and IWN. I recognize that all small caps bring higher risk, but can you please rank these 3 ETFs, with the ETF with the best quality stocks first, ie. rank in terms of lowest risk to highest risk. Does IJR generally hold stocks with higher market caps?
Thanks!

Q: Hi fellows,

These are big loosers in my TFSA, more than 50%. Do you see any chance of a significant upside for these stocks in a reasonable time frame or further deterioration ? I am tempted to liquidate them and recover a bit of cash for a better investment. What would you do if you were in my shoes ?

Gratefully,

Q: Hi Team,
Having not researched this name myself yet, what is the story behind HPS? It's an old company and looking at a 10yr chart had been flat for years between $5-$10 range. Now since 2021 it went parabolic to $84 today. What changed in its business to justify such a drastic gain? Perhaps I am a bit cynical or cautious; but I am a bit hesitant being told in the past not to invest in names that have gone parabolic so quickly? At least without a significant pullback. Thanks for your insight!

Q: Overall, I prefer small and mid-cap Canadian stocks for growth and accept the risk that goes with this. Currently, I do not have anything in the tech space and would appreciate if you would suggest a few names.

Thank you,
John
