Q: Do you feel there is a need to go into the US to get additional financial exposure, into something like GS or JPM? Or would RY be sufficiently diversified given its size, and international diversification.

Q: Peter, can you shed any light on the dramatic price action following MOGO's financial release. It shot up from 1.25 to 3.45 following the release (175%+) and has now settled back to around 1.70 as I write this. The trader in me would expect some gap filling here, but I have no idea why the stock spiked as sharply as it did.

Q: Hello 5i Team:

Thank you for your answer about DGRC today. With hindsight, I shouldn't have included VCIP in the same question! Here it is again as a separate question:

I know from your answers to other members that weighting is personal/that bonds despite all the bad news still play a role in one's portfolio/Short bonds are probably better than long bonds.
I have your Portfolio Analytics service and my input suggests 60 40 split. (Inputting data in PA is a work in progress!!)

With this mind, may I ask this question?

What would your suggestions be for retirees: 40% Fixed income .
All in something like VCIP. Or divide them into different boxes? VSB/VAB/VSC etc., Or some other ETFS?

40% is a lot of money to be in one ETF, no? Or these multi layered ETFs offer enough diversification?

Thanks.

Q: Can you please provide your outlook on the company? I’m at at 15% loss on a 2% position. I averaged down this morning and bumped it up to a 3% position. Why is it idling while the payment space in is on fire ?
Do you think it’s worth exercising a bit of patience with this one?
Thanks

Q: Dear 5i Team,

Can you help me understand why Intact trades at such a multiple of book value when compared to other strong P&C / specialty insurers like Allstate which also have a long track record? Is it worth that premium?

Thanks!

Derek
