Q: Greetings 5i Team and HNY,
I see that DCBO is rated 'B' on the Gr Model Portfolio and that recent Q&A has it as a top pick. What would need to happen for the company to be upgraded to 'B+'?

Also, DSG is rated as 'A-' on the BE Model Portfolio; is it safe to assume that you prefer DSG over DCBO or would this be conditions based?

Thank you very much.

Steve

Q: FINN is an actively managed etf from Fidelity Global. It has a high MER but its returns so far in its short life have been impressive. What do you think of this ETF? What risk level would you place on it?

Q: Could you provide some information on QTUM - Defiance Quantum ETF, trading on the Nasdaq, in particular, its assets and fundamentals. Is this a good ETF to hold as the development of quantum computing progresses. In general could you comment on the idea of investing in quantum computing and are there any individual companies that may have potential going forward. Canadian and U.S. Thanks.

Q: Hi,

Do you see a pathway for SMCI to be re-listed again in NASDAQ? What are the impediments/enhancers for it to achieve this goal? What do you think is the probability of it suceeding? (In terms of percentage) And if they do succeed, when do you think it will happen? 2025? or 2026? To my untarined and non-professional eyes, SMCI mgmt seem to be doing the right things. But then that's what I thought before it tanked :)
How many Billions they have to pay to settle the law suits or make them go away? If they decide to issue more shares to deal with all these issues, the stock may go down further, no?

Q: I've owned IQLT for a few years now. I've noticed that the VEA top holdings are quite similar to IQLT, but at a significantly reduced MER. Is it really worth paying that much more to continue to hold IQLT? Maybe you have better insight on the differences between the two than I do (?)

Q: Happy New year to everyone!

My TFSA is strictly US growth. I'm looking at the software space as I'm tech oriented.

I do own MSFT, ORCL on it's recent decline.

Some of the players are fairly expensive or have some negative momentum. NOW, SNPS, CDNS are 3 candidates.

Would you have a preference of these looking forward accounting for current value etc?
A top tier selection that isn't one of these?

I'm looking for your thoughts and a reasonable entry. Of course this is 3+ year hold.

Thank you very much.
