Thankyou

Q: I don't fully understand Crypto Currency/Coins. I have asked many people I can't understand why it valued the way it is and it seems like the new Tulipmania.

I somewhat understand blockchain, but I don't how value of that technology will be in the end, but some explained to me that the coins somewhat get/pay to be on the blockchain which might be good for certain things and companies.

This craze looks speculative and not really an investment, but does it make any sense to put a small amount of mad money into a few crypto's or is it just a matter of time before the house of cards comes crumbling down.

Q: You had been recommending QETH.UN for ether investment and you yesterday recommended ETHH.B. Is one preferable over the other? And if one wants to hold for a minimum of 5 years might it be worth selling QETH now and incurring a taxable gain to switch (gain of 70%) or just stick with QETH? Much obliged - Ken

Q: Which do you prefer and how do you buy Dogecoin on Canada?

Q: Hi Peter,
It seems that the percentage moves of these various Ether funds differs even though they all relate to the price of Ethereum. Why the differences ? Thank you.

Q: This is a small company in the fintech space. Please provide your comments on the advisability of putting in some money into this investment. Looks interesting from a growth prospective. How different is it from Lightspeed? Thank you for your advice.

Q: I have both BNS and TD in a TFSA.

Thinking of swapping one of these for GSY for a tilt towards more growth.

What would be the best move here?

Thank you

Q: Why Mastercard is dropping after their earnings ?

Q: I own GSY on your recommendation. I also own ZEB for simple exposure to all the Canadian banks. I'm interested in finding other niche opportunities in the financial space, whether on the income side or the growth side (or blended). Someone mentioned Firm Capital Mortgage Investment Corp (FC) for income, recognizing this also entails some real estate exposure. What is your view of FC, and what other suggestions would you have? Thanks.

Q: I'm showing a significant discount in GBTC. Is it worth selling QBTC and buying GBTC in a TFSA to take advantage?

Q: What will be the implications to the stock price of Power Corporation with wealth simple going public? I would think this will finally move power corporation after many years of just collecting the dividend.

Q: Is Deutsche’s current positive earnings status indicative of a probable (or just possible) return to dividend-paying respectability?

Q: Can I have your thoughts on ethereum as an investment. I've been reading about how the blockchain technology behind it has the potential to revolutionize the world with respect to finance, the exchange of goods and services and other purposes that are only now being dreamed up, much like the early days of the net. Take uber for instance, it seems that the need for a "middle man" like Uber may be a thing of the past if blockchain technology (and associated smart contracts) can connect drivers with passengers, etc. directly, facilitating both the contract and payment. I may have my lingo off here. I realize that it is a risky space. It just seems to me that ether has even more potential for useful applications than bitcoin which trades much higher. Thank you.

Q: Could you please provide your current view of Alliance Bernstein’s growth prospects and the potential for the continuity of its dividend? Thanks!

Q: Hamilton ETF's, who have a focus on the Financial Sector, have an Australian Bank ETF. Do you think one needs additional exposure to this area, assuming one already has some exposure to CDN and US banks?

Thanks,

Q: Have held this thru BFT since last november and didnt get the expected pop when it went public,what do you think of this company in regards to management ,growth and fundamentals would it be a B S or HOLD Thanks

Q: Hi 5i
Any thoughts on Genworth Financial?
Thx
Gerry

Q: In March 2020 I did a lot of tax-loss selling (and proxy re-buying - thank you, I wish I had known to do that in 2008). I sold two Canadian banks and bought two others, BMO and CM. I did not sell them after I got my money back but let them recover. Consequently I have BMO up almost double and CM up 70%. Is there any reason to sell them to re-buy the original banks which will trigger a capital gain? I have no capital losses in that account.
