Q: Hello, my position in TRI has tanked and is now less than 1% of total holdings, and in a TFSA to boot. Going forward, does it make more sense to:
1)hold and hope
2)re-deploy to something with more upside potential.

Honestly, I'm surprised TRI is down this much and for this long. When I initiated the position I was expecting it to be a long-term keeper.

Q: Hi Everyone at 5I!

Wow! I have never seen a stock go up 50% in one day!! What gives?? I bought this for $50 and it cracked $800. It has been going up steadily but this was a terrific jump.( I expect some pull back). Why did it rise so swiftly and what might be its longer term prospectus?? Your opinion would be much appreciated!!

Cheers,
Tamara

Q: There is increasing media coverage of the fact that data centres are gobbling up huge amounts of water and electricity. Communities in the US are now banning their construction fearing water shortages and higher power rates.
I assume industry is starting to look at these issues. I know it is very early in this game but are there companies dealing with these matters that one could start to review and analyze ? Thanks. Derek.

Q: In the event of a recession or at a minimum, reduced GDP growth, which you expect URI's business to increase or decrease? On the one hand. Slowing growth could mean less demand for their rental equipment. On the other hand, as growth slows, companies may turn to renting instead of committing to new purchases. How have they done in past slowdowns?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: What is the main stock valuation driver for Constellation Software, and can you please provide a sense of the trend? For example, if it’s free cash flow, then please provide the annual percentage change for each of the past three years, as well as the year-on-year percentage change for the discreet fourth quarter - 3 mos - of 2025 (since Q1 2026 is not yet available).

Additionally, has the compression in PE ratios of software companies translated into more acquisitions for CSU and acquisitions at more advantageous valuations?

Q: Hi, now that Hammond has done so well for me (thank you), I wonder if it's worth taking some profit and initiating a starting position in Elva? 3.5% position in HPS, but it's made me a lot, so I wonder about diversifying a bit. Thank you!

Q: This has a 4% weighting, and I have held it mostly for income purposes since retirement in 2018. I have never been really compelled to be overly worried about its dividend payouts at different levels, quarterly. However, the last payout was very low at 0.0957. Can you see why it was such a drop, and if it indicates a change in their payout plans? As always, thanks for your fine service.
