Q: Dear 5i
I currently don't own any individual bank stocks as i have achieved this exposure via the ETF`s CDZ and ZLB . I'm beginning to think though in the current climate that adding individual bank stocks might not be a bad idea in all 3 of our RRSP accounts , as opposed to adding more to the above noted ETF`s . I'm also planning on adding SLF and GSY .
So do you recommend sticking to the original plan and just add to the ETF`s or start accumulating individual bank related stocks for each of the accounts to add a bit more banking punch?
Thanks

Q: NFT's seem to be all the rage in this week's news. Someone called "Beeple" making a 69 million sale of Digital art or Jack Dorsey selling a tweet for $2.5 million. I understand that it's something associated with registering ownership of the digital asset in blockchain and it seems to be becoming popular. Is there a public company that is best positioned to manage and profit from these transactions and if so, are we early enough to benefit by buying now if the trend grows?

Q: Retired dividend-income investor. Short term (weeks to months, not years), which stock do you think will produce the most Total Return...Sunlife or CIBC? When I compare their charts over various timeframes and look at their fundamentals, I don't get a clear picture. I am leaning towards SLF.
Thanks...Steve

Q: Hello,

The financial sector are at 52 week highs, do you see an issue with stepping in at these prices ? Would you consider one of the major banks and perhaps GSY as an alternate to the big banks with exposure to the financial sector ?

Thanks,
Robbie

Q: I recently yielded to Bitcoin craze and bought GBTC ETF as a hedge. However, I noticed that, on bad days, GBTC is dropping faster than bitcoin and, at the moment, it trades at significant discount to NAV. I can explain this by the lack of redemption program. However, my main concern here whether the amount of BTC per share is fixed (according to Greyscale website it is 0.00094690) or can be freely manipulated by the fund? What concerns me is the footnote that this is the rate as of March 3. I checked the prospectus and don't see anything there about BTC/share ratio. Basically, if the fund can reduce BTC/share at will, the investment value here is quite questionable. Do you have any information/thoughts on this?

Q: Are there any bitcoin ETFs eligible for purchase in a Canadian RSP? If so, please provide ticker symbols of applicable ETFs available to a Canadian investor, and which one(s) you might recommend to someone who desires a small bitcoin exposure (1% portfolio weighting).
