Q: What is the difference between these mint receipts and the sprott product? Does one have an advantage over the other? Since I already own PHYS from sprott for gold would it be better for me to own one of mint producrs for silver as better diversification? Finally, what is the difference between MNS and MNS.U?

Q: Please take as many credits as required. I have created a fixed income portion for my portfolio. Please take a look at it and pick it apart for me. I'm looking for capital preservation and even with this diversification, it's taking a beating in certain areas and markets. Would you remove or add anything? Thanks.

Q: I have similar weightings of MDB, DOCU, PAYC, CRWD, GH, NET, and TWLO in my US RRSP account. As per the recent report recommendation from 5i, I would like to rotate some of my lesser quality stocks into strong value stocks or ETFs. Can you suggest 2 of 3 of the above that you would recommend I reduce or sell out and what strong value plays would make sense to backfill them with? Am I interpreting the guidance of the report correctly? Thanks!!

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,
Portfolio Analytics shows a 6.78% allocation for GSY. (Thanks so much for recommending this company and helping us to grow our portfolio). Would it be prudent to trim GSY, and to what level would you be comfortable with? PA also shows that we need to add some Communications Services, and we presently own only BCE. I was thinking to add some Telus or Rogers, and would appreciate your thoughts. If we go for Rogers, which one (A or B) do you recommend? Thanks as always for your insight.
