Investment Q&A

Q: Juste a note that Shane was asking if you would endorse a buy based on the drop. Your answer was thorough but did not state what you would advise at todays price:

Q: Hi Team,
Meta took a 15B one time non cash tax hit as a result of trumps “big beautiful bill”. What does this really mean non cash? Why aren’t other companies reporting the same type of hit? Aren’t all companies under the same tax rules? This news seems to be scewing strong operational results and causing a big share price drop. Looks like a buying opportunity to me. Do you agree?

Q: Good Afternoon;

Since late July Acadian has been in a steady downtrend that seems inconsistent with both the price trend for lumber and the latest Trump tariffs. I am trying to understand what is driving this downtrend, as some of their production (Maine) would not be subject to a tariff and lumber prices seem not to have "added" the tariff but absorbed it.

I own it as an income stock in a LIF. Aside from the drivers of the stock in the short term I am interested in dividend risk; is it or should it be a concern? Lastly, given the decline in price is there a trigger price you would be comfortable with to buy? I am considering adding at current yields.

Thanks as always,

Dave

Q: Can you highlight the benefits to BAM of their agreement announced this morning.

Q: Hello 5i, If Trump loses the Supreme court tariff case, how would affect my investments, what would be the short vs long markets behaviors. What would be the best outcome for an investor.
thanks

Q: Hi Team,
Any news on PNG today? Seems to be on a tear but I can't find anything on it. Seems like every time I feel like adding to the name it takes another big leap up. A good problem to have I suppose. Would you recommend waiting for a cool down before adding more to this name? Or maybe just let the position grow on it's own merit? Right now its a 2.6% weighting in my stock portfolio.

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: Your thoughts on this company,for a 1 year hold,outside of trumps failed liberation day stunt in April ,this stock is at about a 6 year low,very low PE and great partnership with Amazon…thanks and have a great day

Q: Hello 5i,

There is a lot of noise about Stablecoins, gold, US debt reduction and opportunities in crypto coins to take advantage of servicing transactions. IF Stablecoins are rolled out by the US gov't, how will this affect GLXY?

Do you have Crypto suggestions if Stablecoins are backed by the US gov't? Most of this is above our heads but Trump knows how to go bankrupt and make a fortune.

Thank you

Q: Thanks for this idea, Bloomberg Space profiled the satellite imagery industry as in high demand, especially in Europe:

"The rebranding comes during a lucrative year for Earth observation companies like Vantor and competitors like Planet Labs and BlackSky Technology. These firms have seen a spike in deals, revenue and stock prices as countries realize the need for real-time Earth observation data in an increasingly unstable and geopolitically tense world.

European nations in particular have been driving this demand as they seek to lessen their reliance on the US for space-based military capabilities. In March, President Donald Trump’s administration temporarily suspended satellite imagery sharing with Ukraine, which is used to inform the location of Russian troops and infrastructure damage during the war."

Q: Please ignore my previous question . I accidentally hit the send button before I had finished editing it .......Here is the same question after editing .......

I've been enjoying the amount of option related dividends going into my account monthly. I call it Taco investing . Trump announces something stupid and then backs off . This creates volatility in the options market creating higher option premiums . What I have ....

GDXY ...... 9% position .

SLVO ...... 3.2% position

HPYT ...... 3.79% position

HYLD ......6.72% position { the lowest yield at 11.2% } May replace wtih SDAY or start a new position .

I'm looking to increase my exposure to " honking big dividends " in the 14% or better category .... My shortlist includes UMAX { 14.83% yield } and ECAT { 22% yield } I realize the higher the yield the higher the risk.....But could 5i give me three names other than the two mentioned above that you think are interesting at 14% or better and three you find interesting above 18% ..... Accompanied by a brief comment on the risks ........ I used the word " interesting " as opposed to " what 5i likes " to reflect the associated risks of high yield investing ......Thanks for your terrific service .....

Q: UCU has had a strong run. With its critical mineral focus, apparently unique RapidSX technology, its build out in Louisiana, and funding support from the US Army, how does it look to 5i's for future stock appreciation? Fundamentals? Would 5i's consider it a worthy investment or is the stock more likely to crash after its 1000%+ climb this past year?

Many thanks.

Q: hi,

would appreciate your thoughts on Venue.

Thank you.

Q: The corporate announcement says zero more or less as expected while the share price has almost doubled, in tandem with a significant rise in the Cdn owned copper miners and a more or less equal fall in the US miners. What goes on? Please and thank you.

Q: FYI. I was listening to the chief economist at RBC the other day and she said the CUSMA renegotiations are to determine what the trade agreement will be starting in 2036 , 10 years from now. This means the current agreement terms would remain for a significant period of time ( unless Trump totally throws the whole thing out ). Can you confirm this ?

This important point doesn’t seem to get recognized by the media. Thanks. Derek.

Q: Hi 5i, Regrading for the CNR:CA I have been holding this stocks for few years. This is the worst time ever and been down a lot. Do you still think this is the bottom and good to collect now and wait for 4 years (wait for Trump to step down) to return. Do you think this is the only hope. :(

Q: Whats driving OKLO up everyday? Thanks!

Q: I am a little concerned about MDA due to Trump, even though it has US operations. Would you rather GE or MDA?
Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: Hello Team 5i & Everyone!

What do you think the likelihood of the tariffs being cancelled by the US administration is if they become too unpopular with their fan base and wealthy friends? (I’ve heard that historically tariffs take 4 - 18 months to fully work their way on to the consumer, so I’m open minded to the idea that the US consumer hasn’t felt the full impact of them yet.)

What would the market reaction maybe be if tariffs were cancelled?

Is the goal of lowering interest rates via the US administration undermining the independence of the US Fed (and stacking it with ‘yes people’) simply so lower interest rates will offset the tariffs affect on the US economy and lower the cost of the US refinancing its debt? Are there any more reasons you think apply here?

Appreciate your big brains,

Thanks!


(Hopefully this question isn’t a repeat, I got timed out when I first wrote it.)

Q: Trump tariffs... impact on e commerce with non US countries. I see US analysts starting to reduce profit targets. I do hold the stock and I see 5i staff also hold the stock. What is your recommended course of action at this point... should I reduce my exposure? What would you do if you owned the stock? I do own GOOG and MSFT considering reducing my AMZN position and allocating it to MFST. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Hello
Any reason why electrovaya is surging? A week ago Trump commented on possible reclassification if cannibis. However stocks like canopy are going up and down daily. Is it worth putting some money to work? Thank you
