Q: Brad Jacobs has been president of the XPO and had done 2 spin off in the recent years (GXO and RXO).
He now plans to create a new company called QXO which trades on the nasdaq at the moment but is it actually the ticker symbol of this new company ? What do you think of this new name and would you take a position in the new entity at the moment or wait ? I am not sure if the capital structure of the company is actually finalized. They have big plans for the coming years. Thanks

Q: Hello Peter,
There is a possibility of rate cuts in US. Would the small cap space be good place to be? I was thinking of XSU, Russel 2000 index as opposed to XUU , the whole US market. Which one would be best in a lower rate scenario? Much appreciate it

Q: Hi, We have some large capital gains crystallized this year, as a result of trimming of some overweight holdings and rebalancing of our Taxable account portfolio. The two securities, we have some losses in, are DRX and TVK. We are toying with a plan to sell those positions in full ( 2% and 1.75%, respectively) in order to book some losses to help us offset the large gains.

We also intend to buy back full or partial positions, after 30 days, as these are some of highly recommended companies by 5i.

Considering that both stocks are trading close to their recent lows, do you see any merit in this strategy ? Are there any catalysts, in the near term for these companies, which could be favourable to stocks but pose a risk to our buyback plan ?

Thank You

Q: I have some cash to deploy. Do you think yesterday's shift into 'other' stocks is a meaningful moment? I am not looking to sell any of the big US firms (GOOG, NVDA, etc.,) that I hold but wonder if it is an opportune time to put some of this money elsewhere. I am specifically looking at the US market and the move yesterday into RH and the like. Any sectors or specific stock suggestion that might fit this theme would be appreciated. I am thinking of US mostly, but not exclusively. Thank-you.

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.
