Q: I am looking at insider buying on VersaBank and it looks like everyone is buying, the CEO, the CFO, the Directors and at much higher prices close to $8.00. Is that a sign that some good news is coming soon? Would Versa Bank fit the bill for a buyout by a large Bank?

Q: Two weeks ago I bought equal dollar amounts of LSPD and PIPE of about 1% each of my RRSP.
LSPD is down 5% and PIPE is up 12%. I would like to add another 1% to one of the above. Which one would you add to and Why? My portfolio is fully diversified.

Q: Your answer today to Roy puzzles me. You seem to indicate that if you have a portfolio generally skewed to income that you could be unduly hurt in a rising rate/rising inflation enviroment. Well isn't buying dividend paying stocks also your protection in that case? Would not all stocks suffer in a rising rate scenario and knowing that in most cases these companies will continue to "pay you while you wait" that you can ride through the storm? If your income keeps coming, isn't the SP unimportant, at least until the market comes back? What am I missing here?

Q: 5i has recommended all companies listed above. Many of your members have expressed concern over each of these companies. As soon as the onslaught begins you have defended all of them. COV is the latest stock - I don't understand your position. You appear to be growth and momentum oriented and get in well after the easy money has been made. You tend to want to stay in all sectors regardless of the climate. Why are we in Canadian health care? GUD is nightmare, RHT was a pump and dump and now COV. These are trades not investments. I have 25 Canadian stocks 10 of which are 5i all double digit losses wiping out any gains on the remaining stocks most of which are not 5i selections. Please remind us what is 5i again and why are we here?
