Q: Hello Peter & team

Tried searching the database to see what questions had been asked about this new technology and failed. Please provide an analysis of the photonic crystal market in Canada, encompassing various aspects such as market size, segmentation, growth drivers, challenges, and emerging trends. Also which companies you might recommend and if you think now is the time to begin building a position in a portfolio. Has 5i started a position in any of their mock portfolios?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

The last question on the ETF DATA was last August. Please share your updated opinion of this ETF, and I hate to admit it, but the proceeds of the sale of some CSU will be used to purchase DATA, unless you have misgivings about DATA in general.

As always, thanks for your insight.

Q: Hello everyone,

Oracle has lost half it's value since peaking in September, and I have ridden the wave up and now down. They just announced a $50B equity and debt deal on Feb 01, 2026 to finance their cloud build out primarily for OpenAI. I am getting concerned about the amount of debt they are taking on, and I am wondering if it's time to sell and move on. Thanks for your comments.

Q: Hi Team,
Can I have your take on NOW earnings? Beat on all metrics it seems like, yet the stock nose dives. CNBC has a headline saying "bear market is in for software stocks". What is a person to do now when I am stuck with NOW, and all the CSU family? Can I expect CSU, LMN, TOI to sell off a bunch more on earnings when they report like NOW is doing today even though they beat? I am finding it hard to decide whether to just Hold, buy more, or Sell? Usually selling is not a good long term idea in a proven quality name, but maybe this is different this time? However selling a sector that is being oversold might be a bad idea if I am expecting to invest it in momentum names at their "highs" (such as MU) that might roll over at any time...that would be a bad scenerio. Today is an awful day. My portfolio has peaked last October and still has not came back since and continues to fall. Losing confidence in holdings I thought were all quality names..

Thanks for any input you may have,

Shane.

Q: Have made my tfsa contribution for 2026 and trimmed some winners and added some themed growth ideas.
It's now a decision to add MDA or CGY. Both are performing well which would you choose or split the position between them both at this time.
Thanks
