Q: Watching these two companies putting in new 52 week lows today. I know that the financial sector is out of favour but when I consider the growth rate of these two names I am wanting to purchase them. AFRM just stated it will exceed 3rd quarter and y/e outlooks. Could you give update and thoughts on these. Relative to growth are they expensive?

Q: Ah Paypal, by far the worst holding in my portfolio that ive held on to far too long despite a significant capital loss. I was initially intrigued by the practical application of the technology, its solid profitability and what i was sold as a good growth story with good room for revenue/profit expansion. Is it fair to say that these is totally broken? I would be very grateful for any insights you have into the current state of this company and whether you think its time to move on even though its held in a registered account.

Q: Good morning,

As some of my rate reset preferreds are being recalled, I have been looking for replacements with more term. One that looks attractive is MFC.PR.Q. It pays a dividend of 4.7% until June 2023. The price has dropped from $25 to under $24 in the last 5 days increasing the yield to almost 5%. I have noticed that preferreds have been volatile lately. Is there anything wrong with this one?

Q: Looking at these for my TFSA and for me it’s a tough call. GSY is getting more reasonable price wise but could rising interest rates hurt it ? MG is
cheap but supply chains are clogged and materials getting scarcer and more expensive.
Which would be your pick and why ?
Thanks. Derek

Q: Hi,
I am puzzled by Intact's jump in price today, it isn't earnings related, but seems rather significant. Also, given that they have just issued preferred's at 5.25%, would you rate these as a good addition to a diversified portfolio looking to add a lower volatility holding for income? Thanks for your valued thoughts.

Q: Re: Cryptocurrency in general; Luna in particular
My colleague informed me a bit about the Terra "algorithmic stablecoin platform" with Luna as its default currency, which is pegged to the USD.
Notwithstanding the complexities around crypto, and the thousands of "coins" out there, what do you think about the case for investing in cryptocurrency in general, and Luna in particular, as a small part (no more than 5%) of a long term, buy and hold portfolio.
