Q: Greetings:
I have held the above in my RRIF for quite some time, and under water. The interest is adequate, but eaten up badly by the loss of capital. I thought that as interest came down it would benefit the MIC'S, but not so!! What is the outlook for this one? Under what conditions would it improve? Is it just poor management?

Thanks, BEN.

Q: Hi Guys

Thanks for all the amazing work you do to support us investors. Putting new money to work and looking out on at least a 3 year (tend to be a buy and hold investor) which of the four stocks would you buy today looking at total return? If you could rank them from your most strongest being 1st that would be great.

Thanks

Stuart

Q: Good morning 5I team: Today's question is on a small cap on the NASDAQ ticker LX. It is in the Consumer Financials space and is a FinTech company. With the continued move to going digital for 'everything' is it time to pull the trigger on this one and take a nibble? Thinking of holding for 1 to two years and adding a little along the way. Would love your thoughts! I fortunately don't need to convert CAN to USD so this isn't a factor in my decision. Thanks!

Q: In a recent answer about DIR.UN you mentioned reports of inventory buildups in the US in anticipation of potential tariffs with the incoming administration. Would PLD be a good way to take advantage of this possible trend? Between PLD and DIR, which REIT do you prefer for the long-term (5+ years)?

Q: Hi team, I would like to generate some income in US dollars.

Could you please recommend 2 or 3 dividend paying US stocks, together with a brief explanation as to why you like those companies. I would also be OK with an ETF if you think that is a better way to go.

Thanks as always,
Paula

Q: Are there any regulations / rules as to how much notice a company must give to a general investor on when the company intends to report earnings every quarter? If so, what are they?
Is there a specific site they are to report said announcements?
Sometimes it seems it's a little loosey-goosey.

Thank you so much!!

Q: Can you provide a synopsis of the above (recently inherited) funds? Are either of these funds pure equity? Would you consider them to be worth keeping or is there an ETF or two that will likely allow for better returns?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: Would you be comfortable holding Applovin for a 3+ year hold? I managed to buy it near the high but I was planning on holding it. I suppose ups and downs go with a high octane stock like this one.

I also wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and holiday season. Thank you for all your help this past year!
