Q: Good Morning Everyone,

The BMO Investorline website is not working today, as far as I can tell the server went down at the opening bell.
In the past I have found BMO to be an unreliable service when the market is down, so this isn't the first time.

Question for 5i: In your experience is it quite common for online trading services to not always work during a market sell off?

Question for everyone: Has anyone found a trading platform that they have found to be reliable?

Thank you for your insights. Luckily I wasn’t planning to sell or buy anything today, but gosh darn it’s annoying.

Sandra

Q: With the substantial recent decline in technology stocks, do you think that now a good time to enter the sector, or do you think we have more downside ahead? I have been looking at 3 ETF's to gain technology exposure, TXF, HTA & QMAX. I know that there are similarities between them, but could you compare and contrast them re: holdings, risk, stability of payouts, tax treatment, etc. and rank them most favoured to least favoured with your reasons? Also, are there any other ETF's in this area that you prefer? I realize that there is more than one question here, so would you please deduct the number of credits that you require, Thank you.

Q: Today Emera moved their CFO to Florida, seemingly to better manage their $20 billion dollar Florida project runway.
Sounds good in theory, but I am curious if you see any possible Trump or DeSantis headwinds from a Canadian company expanding in this state in particular, given the "America first" sentiment.
