Q: Good morning 5I team: Today's question is on a small cap on the NASDAQ ticker LX. It is in the Consumer Financials space and is a FinTech company. With the continued move to going digital for 'everything' is it time to pull the trigger on this one and take a nibble? Thinking of holding for 1 to two years and adding a little along the way. Would love your thoughts! I fortunately don't need to convert CAN to USD so this isn't a factor in my decision. Thanks!

Q: I am deciding on whether to sell this ETF. It has done very poorly over the past 3 years. It is sitting in my RRSP so I can't get a capital loss which I can use for the future. What would be a better ETF to replace this with? Does IEMG have some future upside?

Thanks for your assistance.
