Q: Dear 5i
Is now a good time to invest in the emerging markets ? I'm considering ZEM , VEE , and XEC .Which would you recommend for an RRSP account? Do you really think there is a major shift to small cap stocks currently and if so do you see it continuing for awhile ?
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

I am 27 years old. I have approx. $100,000 to start a portfolio. I have established with two positions thus far - 5% each in ATZ & BAM. Considering my age, what companies would you suggest I add keeping in mind my focus being a long term growth with a set-it-and-forget-it strategy?

If possible I would like some good dividend generation names which hopefully do not sacrifice some reasonable capital gains.

If you could suggest which of the recommendations would be better suited (tax wise) to put into my TFSA and why that is so, that would be appreciated.



Thank you Peter & Team

Q: Hi, i have a question relating to increase energy demand from Ai.
Most Belief is that with the increase use of Ai there will be significant demand of energy. But at the rate of our technological advance and improvement of efficiency would it not reduce the energy needed for ever newer chips develop in the future. Therefore it would not have a significant impact on utilities and Renewable companies in the longer term. Can i have your opinion on this? Thank You

Q: Paul asked today if PRL's dividend has been increasing in proportion to its income increases, or are they increasing the payout ratio. In your answer, you mentioned the dividend is up by 30% compared to last year at this time, but you didn't compare this to the income increase. PRL had an 84% income increase in 2023 compared to 2022, and in Q1 of 2024, the income was up 77%, so in fact they have been DECREASING the payout ratio, as the income has been increasing at a much faster rate than the dividend.
