Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi there, ARKK has dropped very dramatically - about 75% to 80% from all time highs. I believe the 2000 .com bust had a similar fall in terms of percentages. In your opinion, has ARKK bottomed out here? Do you think it's time to finally start buying in the $40 to $45 price range? Lastly, do you see comparisons in buying ARKK today, similar to buying oil in March 2020 after oil went negative and XEG etc collapsed? Thanks!

Q: Hello Peter and team,
Looking at putting my cash which is doing nothing into GICs. Regarding bonds, would rather put directly into bonds rather an ETF and hold till maturity.

For now I am thinking about very short term GICs of 30 to 90 days with the expectation that longer term GIC rates will be higher in next few months as BoC hikes rates. Is this a correct assumption?

Please comment in detail about all of the above or other alternative approaches as I am trying to sort out how to best set up my fixed income. (Deduct as many questions as needed.) Suggested reading resources would also be helpful.

I have many income stocks in my portfolio, so not looking for advice about those.
Thank you so much for this service.

Q: I just sold NVDA for a tax loss but will be repurchasing it in 30 days. Would you buy a proxy for it or do you think things will remain unsettled for the next month? If you feel a proxy is prudent, what would your choice be?

Appreciate the insight.

Q: Hi there, I am a big fan of your Balanced Equity Portfolio. I like the more growth oriented names in it and was wondering if you were to swap out the less growth names for names that have a little more risk but for higher return, which would you swap and for what names? Thanks!

Q: Hi team,
I enjoyed your stock screener blog on CDN stocks down 40%. Some stocks look very interesting. Looking at the 2 yr growth in EPS, using DND as an example, does this mean it is expected to grow 1318% in Yr 2 from the EPS level at the end of Yr 1? If so, that is a great growth rate in Yr 2. Also, on Net Debt to EBITDA, some stocks are blank in that column. Does that mean they either have no debt or no positive earnings, but the negative earnings are getting better? Also, it is hard to find 2 Yr EPS growth projections. Is that from a proprietary paid database or is there a publicly available one?
Thanks again.

Q: I'm wondering what other retailers may have issues like WMT and TGT. Can you comment on any other retailers that are likely to have similar issues and in particular I am wondering about Dollarama which has a P/E in the 30s.
Thank you.

Q: I've been following Southern copper for a while. How safe is the dividend and is the stock at fair market value? Would you consider adding to the site acronyms that are commonplace in investing jargon? Also an explanation of what each means and how they are calculated. For example price to equity or fomo. As an older investor I'd like to be able to keep up with their current terms and meanings. Thanks Steve.
