Q: I am 60 years old, and I don't need the upcoming major problems that the world central banks are creating lead to the destruction of my retirement. So I am diversifying.

I currently hold the traditional Canadian dividend paying stocks, growing exposure to Emerging market ETF's, Gold bullion / ETF, commodity stocks, Infrastructure / Renewable Energy via the Brookfields, a few big name US stocks, and now entering the crypto world.

Here is my question: I read a recent article on Cathie Wood - CEO of Ark Invest. She claims:

"Seeded during the tech and telecom bubble more than 20 years ago, the five main platforms of innovation that we think will transform the global economy are: DNA sequencing, robotics, energy storage, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology. These involve 14 technologies including gene therapies, 3D printing, cloud computing, big data analytics, and cryptocurrencies."

I already have a pension from a Robotics-related company, and I am investing in crypto. Do you have any recommendations for anything else from what she mentioned, in which you would share her outlook? I have both CAD and USD accounts. Could be company or ETF - big or small.

Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i - Any hope for 3D Systems in your view? Thx!

Q: I know American companies aren't your specialty, but now that the bubble has popped in 3D printing, what do you feel about the above two? Are manufactures embracing 3D printing, and is there any moat that these two have?

Thanks for all you do,

Wes

Q: My daughter-in-law has asked me to opine on these 4 holdings (DDD (3D Systems Corp),JCI (Johnson Controls),Adient PLC F and CNDT Conduent Incorporated) she has.She works in tech in San Francisco. I value greatly your views and though you may not cover these equities if you have any insights for her to either buy sell or hold each of these and any other comments regarding these I would greatly appreciate hearing them. Secondly she has a substantial holding of shares in Cisco acquired through employee stock option. What is your view on Cisco regarding buy sell or hold and whether her capital could be better deployed in other tech names. Thank you sincerely.
