Q: good morning - further to a question last week about trading within a TFSA and limiting the number of trades to keep below CRA radar I am unclear on what constitutes a "trade". Is it buying and selling the same stock or does every purchase and every sale ( whether the same company or not) constitute a trade. Thanks

Q: Cryptocurrency
With lots of covid time on my hands I have been educating myself on crypto. I have been a huge sceptic but I am starting to turn around on the idea. It doesn't seem much crazier then buying gold or silver as an investment. Bitcoin seem to have reached critical mass, etherium to a lesser extent but the list of seemingly credible options is growing. My gut is telling me to put small amountsof fun money into speculating on crypto? I was surprised that not many questions have been asked about this.
So my question: Does or do you see a time in the near future where crypto currencies will need to be part of an investment portfolio just like gold, bonds or cash? If yes explain a bit ( maybe some suggested reading or resources), If no crystal ball prediction please.

Q: Hi 5i team,
I notice a couple of questions on gaining access to the Canadian Financial Summit. I attended that, typically not live, but over the following day or so. Thanks very much for the free ticket. Some great presentations.
I may be mistaken on this and, if so, please disregard this note. Each day’s presentations were available for 48 hours after that particular day, then locked down. That was the free ticket. On Sunday night, all days were locked down. To view the presentations today, you have to buy the All Access Pass for $197 (which was on sale over the weekend). The All Access Pass also gives you some bonus documents in the Lifetime Access Library, I understand.

Q: Regarding etfs, are there actively managed etfs? Etfs initially tracked a particular index and thus were passive and required no judgment hence their low fees. But are there now etfs with someone at the steering wheel. For example, if you have an etf investing only in tech stocks, is that etf necessarily just tracking the tech sector of a particular index, or is there actual stock selection going on? If it is actively managed, how is that etf different from a mutual fund and if the answer is just lower fees how can the etf sufficiently pay its manager compared to a mutual fund manager?
Q: I tried to get my free ticket for the Online Finance Conference that you just advised us about, but the links to get the ticket didnt work at all so I wasn't able to partake. What to do?

Q: Business Wire reported DCBO files preliminary base shelf prospectus . Does it mean it can issue more shares in the future which may cause dilution ? I am puzzled by the stock price surge near market close. I appreciate your expert opinion. Thanks a lot.

Q: My question is more for education and is about a companies daily trading volume. For example; I have been following Tucows (TC) for some time and for a company having a market cap of almost 800 million; why does it have such a low daily trading volume? The recent deal it made for the sale of Tucows TING mobile to DISH earlier this year was given good reviews.
Thanks 5i

Q: Hello 5i staff,
Good morning to you. I have a reasonable portfolio of stocks but have been thinking of increasing holdings in six or seven stocks and dropping others, in order to consolidate. Currently I am selling puts on the stocks that I am interested in and was wondering what you thought of that as a strategy. For instance, I currentlly have puts out on Alimentation Couchetarde, BAM and CNR amongst others, I am not in a hurry and am happy to collect the premiums. But, I can see that if these stocks continue going up, I may never get them. And on the otherside, if there is a market crash, I will get them for sure. But, may more for them than I would at the time, Now, I am talking about stocks that I already hold 3 percent of my portfolio in. Would certainly appreciate your comments, as usual.
thanks

Q: What do you think of the Rule of 40 for SAAS companies? Is it valid or not? The Rule of 40 adds growth rate % and EBITDA margin to arrive at a score and suggests SAAS companies with scores over 40 are buys as I understand it.

Q: 7:18 AM 10/7/2020
I am having a lot of difficulty trying to calculate or find Compound Annual Growth Rates [CAGR] of share prices without [and with] dividends reinvested. Do you know opf a reliable source?
Sources tend to differ a lot perhaps because of not properly accounting for share price stock splits.
I would appreciate it if you could give me CAGRs without and with dividends reinvested for
CNR, CP, TIH, RBA, TRI, BAM.A, RY, CSU.
Thank you......... Paul K.
