Q: Can you suggest tax loss proxy ideas for ASPN?

Q: Good Mornings,

With much thanks to 5i, my winning stocks far outweigh my losers. However, I'm thinking of doing a little post election portfolio cleanup of two stocks.

Just trying to decide if I should consider cutting my losses on Aspen Aerogels and Transmedics, or if you think the analysts might have it correct and they are worth holding for another quarter or two?

I think I may have missed the boat on Axon, which I have deliberated about buying for two years. It has gone up so rapidly with the Trump win, that it may do some consolidating for a while.

If you have some small-mid cap suggestions that you think are showing good momentum and might be a replacement for ASPN and TMDX, please give me a few ideas. This could include Axon or any other sector stock, US or Canadian.

Thanks very much,

Brad

Q: Your thoughts on earnings report

Q: How will Trump’s tariff policy impact Canadian companies operating in the United States? Taking ATZ as an example, will the tariffs raise Aritzia's costs, making their clothing less competitive in the U.S. and potentially slowing their expansion there? Additionally, which Canadian companies with U.S. operations are most likely to feel the effects of these tariffs?

Q: Hi Peter,
If one believes the Canadian dollar is going to be weak against the US$ for the next few years, when one buy US index ETFs like S&P 500 listed on the TSE, is it better to get the hedged or unhedged version and the reasoning behind.
Thanks.

Q: I am currently holding BN, GSY, JPM, and RY in the financials sector and am considering selling GSY and buying BRK.B. I've held GSY for a number of years so have had a nice gain but wonder if BRK.B wouldn't be a more consistent mover?
Thank you

Q: Costco had a pretty big jump in its share price this past week....was there any news or anything to explain this?

Also, while Trump only takes power in January and things take time, but it is often said that the market is forward looking. I have to think that a lot of what Costco sells is imported (eg from China); though his threat might just be a lot of hot air, does the potential for them have a significant impact on Costco if Trump brings in big tariffs? Is this anything to worry about?

Thank you for your excellent service
