Q: RKNG This brand new Defiance ETF holds some high growth names. Could you examine the current holdings and provide your view on the potential here. Ms Jablonski has some vision so could this be a reasonable high risk small piece of one's portfolio in your view.

Q: I hold shares in MSTY along with other Harvest ETFs. I have received the monthly distributions for all of them except MSTY, even though it was payable on Jan 5. My broker, BMO, says it's because they haven't set the reinvestment price for their DRIP. It's now almost two weeks past when the distribution and DRIP shares normally show up. Does any know if this an issue with Harvest or BMO?

Q: Please forgive another question about this suffering stock price. I just came across an old note that said CSU has 8 billion ownership of LMN and 8 billion ownership of TOI.
If those two stocks are also suffering, does that create a drag on CSU stock irrespective of its own earnings? Thanks for trying to reassure us all who are down so much on this one!

Q: Hi,
I am thinking about investing in some BCE. What would you say the intrinsic value is per share? I am also intrigued by BRK.B. What do you think?
At share price are CSU, TOI, and Lumine bargains respectively?
What sort of market are we in? Up, down, or sideways?
And, would you suggest 10 companies which are great (little chance of capital destruction), AND offer some upside?
Side questions: Magna and Rogers have bounced back...a lot, did 5i recommend buying at those low points?

Q: It appears that Trump's cognitive abilities are rapidly declining. What do you see as potential outcomes if he is unable to complete his term? What do you anticipate the impact would be on bonds, North American equities, crypto currencies and precious metals? Would precious metals be a possible hedge? I realize this is very hypothetical, but I'm interested in your opinion. Thank you for the service you provide.

Q: My daughter's mortgage is up for renewal and she is getting calls from the bank with early renewal options?

What are your thoughts on the direction of mortgage rates? I am reading, from here, they might go down another 0.25% once or twice during 2026.....or not, depending on future inflation data. So no more big rate moves.

Which would you prefer....fixed or variable rate mortgage?

How long a term would you sign up for?

Thanks for your help....Steve

Q: I am looking for a list of dividend paying stocks that you feel will do just fine in the next 2 to 3 years and that will likely continue paying dividends. Besides continuing to pay attractive dividends it would be a bonus if the price would not take a significant hit with a correction. I have listed 2 of them to consider. Please comment on those 2 as well as some of your picks.

Q: Hi Team,
Watching silver and gold rocket up like this....is this not a tell tale sign the market has something wrong with it? I am feeling like we are watching the tell tale signs here of a market collapse on the way and doing nothing about it. Or, the price move of silver and gold will prove to be un-warranted and destined to fall back down. I know we are led to believe the market "should" be ok here still but this move by the precious metals is getting to be alarming to say the least. Thoughts?

Shane.

Q: In your answer to Scott Jan 23 26 about the CIRO data breach you say "We would not be concerned here"
It is not clear to me whether you advise just ignoring it or registering for 2 year free credit monitoring.
Or is this a trap to start charging me a fee for monitoring after the 2-yer "free" period? These day we get so suspicious of everything.
