Q: Sangoma has sprung back to life lately on high volume. Any news or analyst recommendations that may have spurred the move? I have a half position and was looking to fill below 1.50 but it looks like I may not get the opportunity. What do you think?

Q: Hi 5i Team, If a portfolio is made up of ETF's how many is too much. I am worried about the MER's, since a few sector etf's have to be added to improve the sector allocation. Also how are the MER's calculated, is it a percentage of the total invested in that fund per year or something else.
Thanks guys. Have a great day.

Q: Hi .... There seems to be a lot of attention these days around new IPO's. One that caught our attention the other day is LUCKIN ..... China..... going up against the Gorilla known as SBUX. This is a 2 part question:
1. What are your thoughts regarding the appeal of Luckin as an IPO?
2. In order to be "allocated" shares on an IPO are there any specific guidelines or rules that apply? E.G how big an investment is required to have a chance of getting IPO shares or is this a investing/trading opportunity more limited to the BIG GUYS with deep pockets vs the average smaller retail investor.

Thanks for any insights you can provide here.

Q: Hi, got information package , it says after 5 years, Knight only has 0.05 % of the market. This does not seem right? Are they playing with the numbers here?
I will vote for the current management team, as I’am sure this is in your view the best course?
Is it time to rethink investing in this stock, considering the on going insider bickering.
This stock reminds me of Wy LAN 4to 6years ago that did not work out well. Your thoughts?
