Q: I already have QBTC. I have read that a canadian Bitcoin etf BTCC is starting feb 18th.
Which is the better way to invest in bitcoin?
This is what the globe said about BTCC.
BTCC has a 1-per-cent management fee and will invest in the physical form of bitcoin rather than futures that would allow investors to speculate on the price at a later date. The fund will track the TradeBlock XBX Index, which uses an algorithm to calculate the consolidated price of bitcoin every second.

Q: I have done well with this stock in my TFSA but have trouble knowing when to sell this momentum play. Do you look at technicals , ie. volume, RSA ? Do you look at market attitude towards the sector, ie. what’s hot what’s not ? Do you consider portfolio composition ? Recognizing this money is for speculation, not investing, what would you do if YOU owned it with a 45% TFSA weighting ?Thanks Derek

Q: Hi,
I also held on to the LTRX shares that I rec'd via ITC because they have been in business for a long time, their products are in a diverse range of industries, the SaaS and IoT aspects and a big backlog. I interpret the backlog as partly due to factors beyond their control so this could be a negative.

Q: A while back, I bought some shares of Shopify that were trading in the US stock market. Last December, sold them for a nice profit. I'm presently preparing my income tax returns including form T1135 in which I must declare all foreign shares held in 2020, along with any capital gains/losses resulting from the sale of said shares. Given that Shopify domiciled in Canada but trades in both Canada and the US, should I declare the holding as well as the capital gains that resulted from its sale? Robert

Q: A while back I bought a small amount of the PSCH small cap health care fund on your suggestion and it is doing very nicely. I see from watching the comments on WELL, that you also like it. If I have a small amount of cash to deploy (less than a full position), should put it into it WELL or would you advise me to continue to build up the ETF position?
