Q: Is GLPI a reasonably good addition to the less aggressive side of a portfolio? GLPI was added to RBC’s Global Top 30 Ideas for 4Q2024 (updated last October). It remains on RBC’s top 30 ideas for 1Q2025 (updated January 6). If GLPI would not qualify as one of your own best ideas, which companies would 5i think of as better ideas for someone with no exposure to real estate? (For a deferred tax account; Canadian taxpayer) :sab:

Q: Thoughts on earnings?

Specifically I want to ask about these three line items from full year 2024 earnings:

"Total revenue increased 62% year-over-year to $1.3 billion, Ad revenue increased 50% year-over-year to $1.2 billion, and Other revenue reached $114.7 million

Gross margin was 90.5%, an improvement of 430 basis points from the prior year

Free Cash Flow was $215.8 million and capital expenditures were $6.2 million, less than 1% of revenue"

With gross margin being high and Cap-ex being incredibly low; is there something I am missing or is Reddit likely to be very profitable now that the baggage on the books from the IPO is behind them?

How is cap-ex so low? Is that mostly a result of their website having volunteer moderators?

Thanks.

Q: Hi can you please comment on earnings and possible reason for the reaction in after hours trading? as down almost 20% at one point, today looks like it's recovered almost back to yesterday's levels.
and
Seems like not many questions/discussions on 5i about this stock? surprising given it's performance and growth potential.

Q: I hold these small/mid cap stocks. Most have done well.

It looks like the interest rates vs inflation discussion isn’t going away soon and rates may be higher for longer. With this as the backdrop and current uncertainty around the markets is this a time to lighten up on Small/Mid cap stocks and take some profit? Or would you hold?

Thanks
Tim

Q: What is your opinion of this ETF? The performance history is really good beating the S&P and others over the last 10 years. They have had a couple of splits in the past and hold about 235 stocks in total. I looked at the top holdings and they are almost the same as the VOO /VFV. Would this be a good sub for the VFV or VOO? The price per unit is low
