Q: I realize that you do not have a crystal ball however my concern is over the Covid Variants especially the ones in India. There is a suggestion that some of the variants may block the effectiveness of the vaccines. If this becomes a huge issue, I am thinking that the market could be in for another rout. I wonder if sitting in cash is the prudent thing to do and just wait out the current virus situation. The market has gone up allot and I would rather give up a small potential gain over time vs a large drop in a much shorter period of time. Your thoughts?

Q: Peter; Going back to Peter Lynch - everybody has a dog or cat now due to Covid- any way to play this - apparently out here (Vancouver) there are animals dying due to not enough vets. Maybe somebody should do a WELL thing and consolidate vet clinics. Thanks. Rod

Q: Hi 5i
Can I please get your thoughts on geographic selection for index mutual fund investment?

Working with TD e-Series Funds, monthly contribution, 19 year old just getting started, single fund has been the thought so far.

Choice Range: Canada Index? US Index? International Index(Holds TPE ETF)?
(can go Europe only but I'm guessing you will ward off this selection)

Comments welcome on all aspects.
Thanks
Dave

Q: SPY, QQQ, and IWM HAve what seem to be historically (and ridiculously) attenuated charts especially viewed from a 20 year perspective. Short of using trailing stop loss orders with each of my largely dividend-oriented equity positions, what would you recommend as a defensive strategy? E.G. gradually adding to a laddered IWM put and/or LEAP put position(s)?

Q: I was interested in Jeff's follow-up comment on Excelon sales declining. Who sold it before Knight in Latam and Canada? Perhaps the reason the company made a deal with Knight is to improve visibility and awareness while giving Knight's sales force new avenues for it's other products.
The price tag does not appear to be a bargain (Knight paid $360M or double for $250M sales in Biotoscan). Surely Goodman sees value in this deal. If there was no effort before then potential must be factored in and I suspect Latam is the more coveted marketplace. Can you comment and provide any previous history with sales of this product. Alzheimers us unfortunately, not going anywhere soon.
