Q: Why the difference in results? Since inception, Jan 13 2025 for IBIT.CA 30%, BTCC.B 22%

Q: Good morning

Ive held both of these reits for several years in my rrifs. On car I’m down 13% and on dir flat.

Over the past year car is down 15% and dir is down 5%. That performance doesn’t include dividends

Can you suggest 2 other equities that offer similar income but will come with additional growth?

With thanks

Sheldon

Q: Dear Peter et al:

What do you make of Perplexity's offer of "buying" Chrome for 34.5 B ! Perplexity itself is worth only 18 B according to one report that I read! Some bloggers say that this is to rattle Alphabet and give the antitrust government lawyers ammunition to break it up. Without Alphabet, Chrome becomes very weak which is good for Perplexity. If Alphabet sells Chrome to Perplexity then it it becomes huge in Search domain! A win-win for Perplexity and a lose-lose for Alphabet. So, the reasoning goes!

I couldn't help thinking that a contrarian view might emerge. Alphabet might spin off Gemini and Chrome together!! Or make an offer for Perplexity!


Anyway, does this affect your strong endorsement of GOOG? I know you are a fan. Me too!

Q: hi folks:

Q: Hi 5i, I'd appreciate your current take on Viavi Solutions. It appears to be a viable small cap that could benefit from the AI build-out. Thanks!

Q: First Trust Natural Gas ETF (FCG) - not in your system. This US based ETF has a mandate to invest in MLP units among other things like stocks. Does this make it problematic for Canadians to hold as it pays a 2.8% dividend? How does it compare with UNG - also not in your system?

Q: Would you invest some cash in this? BMO ZAAA-NE.

Q: I own ALK - bought Mandalay a while back and held on when it was acquired by Alkane. Since ALK started trading on the TSX it has not done so well. I feel that ALK should be trading higher - Is it a buy here ?

Q: So what's the story with these? They've really backed off over the past week. Are they not delivering up to expectations? Anything to be concerned with?

Q: Any thoughts on the recent rapid slide in Topicus?

Q: Good morning - I'm finally back to break even on WELL, held in registered accounts, and am wondering if this isn't a good time to move on, but to where? You seem ambivalent about WELL's future and the whole sector is in disfavour. I also have ISRG and ABBV so I do have other sector exposure. So, hold or punt WELL?
