Q: Peter,

You mentioned on BNN that it was extremely positive that Go Easy had lower writeoffs during the pandemic. I question how much of this was due to government handouts to so many people. Comments?

Q: Im considering selling my entire portfolio - its close to 2 mill, was over 3 but too much Cnd oil and covid fixed that. Thinking, hearing of a potential sharp downturn. Another 20% drop is too much to bear. I'm retired, living on $100k per year is fine. I'm 61.
Is there a safe place to park money until a vaccine arrives? And is it possible to earn close to 4% safely? IF so - how?? I do worry that this second wave will pound my stock portfolio back to where it went in March

Q: Peter, Your thoughts on X for a long-term hold please. Do you see them having a moat, or could they be supplanted by a US or UK exchange that comes and eats their lunch? Do they typically raise their dividend periodically? Thank you!
