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

Q: Good Morning. The green renewables seem to taking a backseat to the cyclicals oils and metals. Will the high cost of metals. plastics etc. needed to build the equipment for renewables hamper the ongoing investment in this area. I see great future for natural gas area. Your thoughts. Have a great weekend.

Q: Probably not a stock you follow but I'm going out on a limb to ask what you think. I'm looking at the technology for these batteries and this company. They seem to be in the right space and for the long term seem like they could become a juggernaut (I only hope). I know looking at some of the videos with the CEO they are burning through 300 000 a month cash and they have enough to last for the next year and a half. I guess my question is what detailed analysis could you give me on this company and the market they are in. What criteria would it take for 5iResearch to eventually become interested in this stock? Do you know anything about the CEO Craig Nicol? Is this technology the answer to Lithium batteries? Thanks

Q: Hi,

I would like to trim down my tech holdings in my portfolio. How would you rank these overall in terms of long term growth considering valuation, size, risk, etc... I would like to reduce the holdings, add to TOI and balance out other sectors that are low such as energy and materials. Do you see any overlap in these holdings? Which could you see go here or consolidate? Thanks!

Q: What might you suggest for the following situation?

There is $27,000 held in registered accounts with an expectation to augment those savings at a rate of about $1,100 per month to address two prime objectives. The first is to accumulate sufficient funds for a down payment on a condo within five years. The second is to adequately augment savings for retirement, hopefully, 16 years from now.

A financial advisor is suggesting investing in a low risk, balanced fund with a MER of 1.9%. The management fee seems high and the expected return from the investment not particularly exciting. We have a relatively low threshold for risk, especially for those funds earmarked for retirement, but are willing to try something other than a balanced fund to improve returns. Taking on additional risk is especially palatable for that portion of the savings earmarked for the condo purchase, likely about 50% of the overall savings.

Thanks in advance for your input.
