Q: Hello 5i Team,

Long-time holder of CBZ, which has been a consistent performer.

The share price has dropped significantly today after an earnings miss and a coincident announcement to acquire Marcum. Not sure which event is contributing more to the share price reduction... or if it's both.

Could you please comment on the current situation and future prospects for CBZ. Is this an opportunity to add to my position? Or do you expect the share price to languish for a while? If so, how long?

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!

Q: Hi,

Thank you for answering my question on small caps on the 29th of July.
Thank you also for adding HPS.A ahead of PAY. Your list in the order that suggested is as follows:
GSY, PRL, LMN, HPS.A, PAY, TOI.

To Theodore's question today (31-07-2024) you relegated TOI down the list and pointed out to it's European exposure.

With that in mind, may I ask you to consider some of your favorite metrics, FUTURE GROWTH, Momentum and DEBT Load and then give us the names in the small caps sector. If you used the above metrics, will your list change?

My iTrade platform seems to indicate that PRL has a lower debt load than GSY. Yet your rank ordered GSY ahead of PRL. I know you must have a good reason. Just wanted to know the rationale.

Many thanks in advance.

Q: Good morning team, I’m contributing to a non registered account for the first time as I’m maxed out in my tfsa and rrsp. My goal is to invest in dividend paying etfs and select dividend stocks while trying to take advantage of the dividend tax credit. I’m looking for yields north of 4%. XDIV looks good to me so far. How would HDIV and HYLD be taxed? Thoughts and suggestions? Thanks

Q: Nice earnings from Howmet Aerospace Inc and looks to be a great stock since COVID decline.

Can I get your updated views on this company and compare/contrast to Heico, TransDigm, GE Aerospace and 1 other NA listed competitor I am missing (BOEING)

Please rank from best to worse for a 5 year hold risk not an issue looking for largest gains based on best guess of course.

What 2 main financial metrics would you look at for these specific companies ?

It seems the standard symbol for Howmet Aerospace Inc. (HWM) is not showing and only 2 questions under the symbol with Ex-Distribution - FYI

Q: there were some disappointing drilling results this quarter, and the stock is getting pounded. They are hoping for production this year to be in the bottom end of their guidance. Do you still see PXT as a hold? I bought this stock thinking it wa a growth company, but what are their prospects for future growth? Also, they bought back shares at an average price of $22, do you think they will continue to buy back many shares?

Q: Many companies stand to benefit from the rise of nuclear energy. Is this a good time to invest (long term) in such companies? I am especially interested in the risk-reward profile of the following: Cameco(CCJ), Constellation Energy(CEG), Centrus Energy(LEU) and NexGen Energy(NEX). Are there others that you prefer (Canadian or U.S.)? Or do you believe an ETF focused on uranium/nuclear energy would be a better investment at this time? Thanks for your help. You provide a great service!
