Q: Good day all. Back in august 2023 you mentionned Mewmont might not be the best choice for a gold miner. Morningstar US is recommending it this week and rates it as undervalued. What is your opinion on this stock at this time? Is it a good time for gold stocks? I need a materials stock for my TFSA or Cash account. If not this one can you please suggest another? Please deduct neccessary questions credits. Thank you.

Q: I am looking at some of my struggling stocks- any comments on whether greener pastures are better found elsewhere and where to go?

Q: I see opportunity here to purchase a company that has a single resolvable problem that will not cost any more capital other than that which was lost. Reputational damage will be in the rearview mirror in 12 months. Likely sooner than that the shareprice will begin catching the developing favorable winds of the precious metals sector.

Would 5i agree, dissagree, or add anything to this brief thesis?

Q: Good morning,

I own a substantial amount of MAW 108 in my Non Registered, TFSA and RRSP accounts.

After reviewing the numerous questions relating to VFV ETF and closely examining the annual performance of MAW 108 over the last 15 years, it is clear to me that VFV ETF has performed much better on the whole over a long period and that VFV or HXS would have been a better choice .

Given that there would be substantial capital gains tax incurred by replacing MAW 108 with VFV ETF or HXS ETF in my Non Registered account and therefore not an appealing option, what are your thoughts on:

Q1. Replacing MAW 108 with VFV or HXS in my TFSA and RRSP accounts;

Q2. Are there any withholding tax considerations in holding VFV or HXS in my TFSA and RRSP accounts?

Q3, Is VFV your preferred recommendation over HXS ETF, ZSP ETF, XUS ETF for holdings in a TFSA and RRSP account?

Thank you and I will await your usual sage and valuable advice.

Q: Good Morning
Your answer to a recent question regarding the difficulty selling your losers certainly hit home with me. I had bought ARKK pretty much at the peak buying into the Cathy Wood hype and also placating my need to not miss out on the next “Big Thing”. The fund as you know invests in many new innovation and concept stocks.
Would you endorse a switch to something like Celsius? You have been positive on this stock months ago and I wished I pulled the trigger then.
Thank you

Q: PSA


i find it funny that the media fawns over these great companies; gushing over their collective 2023 'huge gains

never mentioning that 5 of 7 haven't even made it back to their 2021 price

so those unlucky enough to have bought at the last euphoria (fall 2021) or almost breaking even

(and yes, i agree these are some fabulous businesses)

good luck

Q: I currently own XHC.

I see that VHT has a lot lower MER. Does it make sense to make a switch?
I assume VHT is more North America while XHC is global?

Also have about 4% in ABBV in an Registered Account with a 52% return. (thank your;)
Would it make sense to cut this down to 2% and add LLY?

LLY has had quite a run the last couple of years and that can be scary. Does LLY have a good runway?

Thanks.
