Could you comment on which ones [and others] you would recommend with rationale. Thank you.

Q: Hi Team,
Hypothetical question. I have read certain clips or articles of people thinking that Topicus can have more potential growth wise than Constellation in the long term because they are perhaps more aggressive. Is there any truth to this? Also, your best educated guess... do you think eventually TOI will be able to end up with the same market cap (todays numbers) as CSU within the next 10yrs or so? Just trying to guage the real long term potential of this company. Thanks

Shane.

Q: Am looking at each of Norsemont (NOM) and Starr Peak (STE) as possible speculative buys given the putative mining boom (and ongoing oil & gas boom) that is upon us. What are your thoughts? Thanx!

Q: you long term view 5 years
thanks

Q: Both of SQ and TWLO had taken a beating recently . Do you see them as a hold and wait or do you think it's time to sell ? Thank you for your opinion .

Q: David Burrows is one of my favourite analysts. On BNN today, he indicated that he feels we have transitioned from a period of falling interest rates that has seen a few sectors, particularly commodities stocks, perform very poorly, while other sectors, particularly technology, have been bid up to very high levels. He believes we are into a new inflationary cycle that will greatly benefit different sectors in the long term, particularly commodities like metals and O & G stocks. He feels that money managers are using high priced technology and other similar stocks that worked in a deflationary environment as sources of cash and putting that money into sectors that will benefit from inflation, and that this could go on for years. Wondering what your take would be on this as a likelihood over the next several years.

Q: Your analysis of CCO's recent results and thoughts concerning U going forward, please.
Not a private question.
Thank you.

Q: Have funds in a US RSP account to top up one or both and underwater on both with the recent tech pullback. at equal 1.5% weighting. which has greatest upside over the next 2-3 years? Or, would you have a better US tech recommendation for this timeframe? Already own GOogle and Nvidia. Thank you.

Q: Could you give me an update on CRNC and why the sell off?

TIA

Q: I am currently heavily invested in Canadian stocks but have insignificant exposure/diversification to the US market. At 64 yo I'm favouring simplicity and considering a significant investment via an Index fund ETF (10 year + timeframe). This will not be in a registered account. I'm considering Vanguard, BMO, or iShares. Which would you suggest? And could you please provide the appropriate ticker symbol. Thanks for your valued assistance.
Dave

Q: Hi, Could you please comment on Sylogist results. Also trends on Recurring revenue, organic growth and profitability, please. Thank You

Q: How would you rank these for adding to my TFSA today? They have all been beaten up, but are good stocks. Thanks as always!

Q: Further to Denise's question Wednesday about seeking ways to reduce taxes when receiving OAS, I have found that the purchase of Flow Through shares helps reduce my taxes. I know they say Flow Throughs are mainly for those in the highest income bracket, but they help all tax payers reduce taxes payable . I guess it is a question of "how much" does it help

Q: Hello 5I, looking at potentially adding a fintech stock to round up my portfolio. With that said which do you think has the most upside but is a decent company? Please add other options if i missed some names. Thanks

Q: Can I get your opinion on Olympia going forward? What’s the current payout ratio? My thought is that it should benifit a lot from raising rates mid term. I know this is quite small and illiquid but just asking with those risks set aside. Thanks

Q: Good morning 5i
In a response concerning selling call options awhile ago you said that you try to avoid stocks with dividends. I can understand how it adds another layer of difficulty, i am wondering if one checks that the ex-dividend date doesn’t fall sometime before the expirary date of the option, that you would likely be ok. For instance, i have call options on jpmorgan expiring on Feb 18. But i checked that the ex- dividend date doesn’t fall beforehand. It is Ex-Div Date
2022-01-05. Should most of the danger be avoided in such a scenario?

Q: You answered Ronald’s question of Feb 8 re tax implications of having more than $100K in US equities by indicating CRA form 1135 must be completed. You did not indicate if this was only applicable to non- registered accounts. Does it apply to registered accounts e.g. TFSA and RIF. Clarification would be appreciated.

Q: I have to start withdrawal from my RRIF this year. Besides TFSA, I would need some strategies to minimize taxes and OAS clawback. I didn’t find anything in the Forums, and no way to search in the Blog (sorry..). Do you know of any book or good web site for canadians? I’m looking for Tax-efficient ETFs (Horizons, others?..), mutual Funds (Are the Class Series still available?). Anything I could use in a non-registered account. I will aim at capital gains, dividends and interest revenues in that order for individual stocks. PS: I’m a subscriber of « Money Saver » (Possible source of info).
Thanks as usual

Q: Someone asked a question today about what large, medium energy company you would pick today as a favourite and for the large cap you chose TOU. You surprised me with your choice being it is mostly a natural gas company I think. I'm curious as to why you suggested it. Please explain.
