Q: Hi There,
I know you guys have (correctly) been bullish on goeasy in recent years. What do you think about the acquisition of Lendcare that they announced today? How does this improve their business and what do you think of their future prospects post-acquisition?

Q: 5 i's recommended vehicle for those interested in the bit coin investment opportunity appears to be BTCC.
GLXY , that appears to have been on the same scene since Oct 2018 has seen little price movement until recently but has now broken out to the upside.
How are these two investments different?
How do they compare as far as risk?
Is it too late to add to a position in GLXY or best to just allow BTTC the same opportunity to develop?
Your wise counsel has paid off handsomely in the past and is much appreciated!!!

Q: I'm over weight Canadian financials but only hold two insurance companies - SLF and IFC.
Would they move in a similar fashion? Or do they focus on different insurance spheres? Would it be good keep both?
Thanks
Robert

Q: Hi,
Looking at Urbana's NAV ($6), it is reported by the company to be roughly twice the stock price ($3). I bought this stock years ago because the NAV was higher than the stock price, but this discrepancy, and my bewilderment, has only grown.
They like exchanges, and have real assets and privately held assets. Am I ok to increase my underweight position in this name?

Q: Over the next year which do you think will outperform, Canadian banks or Canadian insurance companies?
Q: I have been looking at these two ETFs. The top 10 holdings in VDY look like buy and hold companies. It seems a bit heavy on banks so really wondering about your short-term outlook on CDN banks for the rest of the year?
HGRO has had a good run in 2020 and certainly not expecting as spectacular in 2021, but do you think it will continue to do reasonably well (your thoughts would be greatly appreciated please? I realize you do not have a crystal ball).
Do you think the combo of these two would be a good idea say 50:50? The idea would be for growth as remainder of portfolio is with you balanced ETF model portfolio.
Thanks so much.
