Q: Hello 5i,
Do you think Metaverse is a better investable theme compared to Crypto?
Facebook seems to be allocating capital to Metaverse.
Can you suggest some stocks in US or Canada that give exposure to this theme. Can you suggest any ETFs other than META that invest in this theme? Do you think this is best held in a TFSA or NonReg account?

thanks

Q: I had been thinking about but Tencent for a long time. With the recent bargain basement price, I'm still willing to take a small punt despite the current risk. It's a long term play.

But perhaps I'm too incautious, even for a 'play'. When I tried to buy on Questrade, I got the following message: "You're attempting to buy enter a position in an OTC/PINK sheet listed security. The following risks may limit your ability to sell your position in the future...".

Can you explain what 'OTC/PINK sheet listed security' means. I take this as a serious warning sign but am still tempted to buy under the belief that China would be shooting itself in the foot to undermine the company long-term.

Q: I have done very well with each of these stocks. The news from China is a concern. I know you are not experts in Chinese stocks, but I would like to hear your opinion on whether to sell or hold.

Q: Tencent shares took a tumble when its market value hit $1 trillion yesterday. Besides some profit taking, there was also warning by an adviser to China’s central bank indicating that excessive liquidity was creating asset bubbles. The prospect that China will tighten funding conditions also threatens to derail Tencent’s stock rally. Do you think it's time to sell the stock or continue to hold? Thanks!

Q: Do you have any ideas or suggestions how to invest in eSports, aside from investing in game publishers (Blizzard, EA)? While the publishers will clearly make money, it seems like the companies associated with streaming/tournaments/professional teams have a lot of growth potential as well. But eSports seems like the wild west right now, with lots of small outfits starting up 'professional teams'. Are there any companies in this space (teams/streaming/etc) that seem more legitimate than others?
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this industry and where you see the growth here.
Thanks!

Q: I am concerned about 30% of my holdings being in IT and would like to reduce perhaps by half and cover some other sectors for balance. (Just read your year-end article about predicting 2021 - perhaps you would not be concerned about 30% going forward)
What order might you trim / sell these to raise cash?
Much thanks for steering us through a year full of uncertainty.

Q: I would like to diversify a little more internationally in the coming year. I was looking at these two ETFs EZA and ZWP for a combination of yield from ZWP, and growth and yield with EZA. Naspers, I believe has a large interest in Tencent and has not followed the SP growth to the same extent so I am thinking this might be a good way to play this within an ETF. Could I please have your thoughts or other recommendations to expand internationally?
Thank you
