Q: Peter; A “ no question is too dumb” to ask! The Bitcoin sector has been hit hard and I read that a few have lost their “ peg” to the dollar or gold. Can you clarify on this? Thanks,Rod

Q: Hi 5i,
I would like an update on which horse you might bet on between these three.
Please rank #1 as the horse that is likely to be the marathon race winner. Can you please also give a higher preference to the horse that has the best balance sheet and stability in this challenging economic environment. High level reasons would also be greatly appreciated so I can understand your thought process. thanks

Q: Hello:

Appreciate your steady guidance through latest "interesting" markets.

What are the realistic possible paths for oil pricing and related companies? i.e. +6mo, +1 year, +2-3 years?

The Russia factor is a huge variable and I cannot see global sympathy restoring demand for Russian oil but money talks ... when I see US pump prices something will have to move longer term or there will be a lot of frustration and pain.

I own smaller positions in a few O&G companies at historic highs so I am tempted to take a little profit after not taking some for lots of growth stocks when they had tailwinds.

Thanks.

Q: There has been little said regarding the proposed TD acquisition of FHN. Could you offer some more insight on whether this makes TD a buy, the potential add to EPS, how they plan to pay for it, how the buy-out premium works and most importantly, what are the odds that it will close? Other 5i comments would be welcome.
