Q: A member recently asked if there are any Canadian companies comparable to PANW. Although it is no where near the scale of PANW, I learned about PLUR last year from 5i Q&A's and found it intriguing. Below is a description from your DB that might be of interest to your reader.

Plurilock is an innovative, identity-centric cybersecurity company that reduces or eliminates the need for passwords, extra authentication steps, and cumbersome authentication devices. Plurilock's software leverages state-of-the-art behavioral-biometric, environmental, and contextual technologies to provide invisible, adaptive, and risk-based authentication solutions with the lowest possible cost and complexity. Plurilock enables organizations to compute safely and with peace of mind.

+3 year hold? If yes, which one would you prefer and why?
Can you help explain why historically HD trades at a higher PE than LOW
even though historical EPS seems better with LOW?

Q: With reference to Paul's question on 16 Mar,

If prior to selling the stock, you arrange through the broker to transfer the stock to the Charity . This is called a "donation in KIND". Not all charities accept smaller transfers of less than $5000.00.

This is relatively easy using a form from the Brokerage or the Charity.

At tax time you must complete formT1170 in order to pay NO TAX.

Q: 5i
Assuming that a stock is held only in a registered account does the 30 day rule apply since 100% of the withdrawals from a registered account are taxable and no benefit (ie. cap gain or loss) would exist.
Thanks

Q: I hold TTD, NVDA, UCTT, VEEV, APPS abd AFRM in the USD section of my RRSP. TTD and NVDA are still green, the others are down, 30-50% with AFRM down 76%. Do you see any holdings that should be sold and added to the others?

Q: A while ago I asked 5I to run the numbers on HCAL as an example of one of Hamilton's new leveraged ETF's comparing both a covered call and similar market ETF and speculate on the return of their other ones ...... Below in quotations is the answer I got .....

" HCAL 1 month 1.7%, three months 0.85%, YTD 34.9%

ZWB 0.9%, 1.65%, 23.7%

ZEB 1.05%, 1.72%, 29.9%

The difference is likely very closely related to the leverage impact. We would not expect HDIV to be different. " .....

Clearly the Hamilton product out performed both the covered call and regular banking market ETF's

Please clarify the following answer given to Craig this morning ? .....

" For a long-term hold, we would side with either VUN or ZWH, as HYLD would cap long-term capital gains due ot the coverd call strategy. We would be fine with the prospects of both ZWH and VUN but side with VUN for a broader exposure to higher growth areas. "
