Q: Any idea why CSU and LMN have gone to the moon in the very recent past? I know CSU has a stellar history and story, but really.... Sure CSU fundamentals are great, but it is behaving like NVDA has in the past.

Q: I recently sold BNS to harvest a capital loss with intention of repurchasing it after 30 days. In the meantime, I purchased ZEB while the 30 period passes. Is ZEB considered a "similar" security and therefore, I am unable to claim this loss?

Q: I have read most of the recent Q&A on CSU, TOI AND LMN. I understand that they operate in different jurisdictions, have like minded management teams and are majority controlled by CSU. What I don’t understand is why the market loves CSU and LMN and doesn’t have that same love forTOI. What am I missing? Also, what is the probability that the recent run up in LMN stock price mimics the early run that TOI had, and then drops back and stays lower for several years.
Thanks

Q: Can you provide an analysis of this REIT? What are the principal risks associated and is the dividend stable? Would this stock be considered “defensive” in nature? With a 9.7% dividend, is it something an income seeking retiree with a moderate risk tolerance should consider. Are there any less risk alternatives you would suggest?

Q: Good afternoon all;
I have a developing opinion (still sorting it out) that it may be time to increase overseas holdings; I have underrepresented them significantly in the past 5 years. I am particularly looking at the African and SE Asian (ex China) economies. While I understand these may not be questions fully in your wheelhouse, your views would be appreciated.
- Do you concur that, subject to Black Swan events, we could expect overseas economies to outperform Canada in the coming few years?
- What geographic areas would you put focus on?
- Do you have 2 or 3 ETF's that may suit such a strategy? DGS is one that has peaked my curiosity.
Thanks for your assistance as always.

Q: Greetings, I am thinking of selling ET and adding to OTEX to consolidate holdings in Canadian technology. How would you compare these companies in terms of their future runway for growth and current valuation? Do you think this is a wise move, or would you sell them both? Thank you.
Q: Foraco (FAR) was named as a top pick by Jordan Zinberg on Monday on BNN. Wondering what you think of it. Seems to have decent growth on the top and bottom lines, and pretty cheap valuation, although drillers tend not to get really high multiples. Looks like there was some, let's say "odd", trading going on with the stock today in the last 15 minutes as it suddenly dropped about 15% just before the close and a huge trade went through at the reduced price and a bit of a bounce back. Is FAR better than GEO?
Q: I bought some of this stock several years ago and have lost most of my investment. Is there any prospect of recovery for GDNP or shall I sell my stock? Thank you

Q: I have a friend who wants to start investing at a regular frequency (every weeks or months) to avoid bad trading decisions but he is a bit reluctant to start investing in the S&P 500 since it is almost at all time high.

Q: TVK appears to have but one analyst - and it is 5i Research. The current share price is $44.51 but your data base shows a Target Price of $6.25 - and that figure has not changed since forever it seems !
I know you are not a fan of Target Prices , but perhaps you might care to speculate upon a likely price in say a year's time ?

Q: I am thinking of dumping Lightspeed in favour of Galaxy, for a bit more punch in the 2024 portfolio. Your thoughts, please. I've held on for so long with LSPD, but my patience is ebbing, and wondering if I'm just hanging on for "sentimental" reasons, and not for good financial sense. Thanks, as always!

- BMO Nasdaq 100 Equity Hedged To CAD Index ETF (ZQQ)
Q: Hello 5i,
I am up 56% to 90% on the MSFT, JPM, MRK,ABBV, AND PEP amongst a few others. It has been said to take profit if a holding is up 30%. I have held these for about 20 years and do not need the funds. Should I realize the 30% profit or let these continue to rise according to your advice of "letting the winners run" before a black swan occurs.

- North West Company Inc. (The) (NWC)
- Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. Class A Limited Voting Shares (BAM)
Q: Greetings 5i,
I am looking to lower my exposure to financials and raise that of consumer staples. This does not have to be done but should result in better diversification.
Would a switch from BAM to NWC, purely for better diversification, be advisable? I note the slightly better yield on NWC.
Thanks as always
