Q: Dear 5i,

Re Peter's article in the Financial Post article Sept. 17;
A comment was made about how an individual investor might
make a simple structured investment product using T-bills and call options. This interests me and I would like to learn more about how to do this and the risk and return behind this strategy. Can you please suggest some good reading material.

thanks
Ian

Q: Thoughts on AMWL and the IPO? Did not double or run up too crazy like some of the other recent IPOs. Thinking in 3-5 years a sub $25 purchase price may look good. I like the Google backing and the optionality with what they can do together with the Google technology and Fitbit acquisition. Any interest in this company or is TDOC the go to name?

  • View CHR.DB.A Profile
  • View Questions on CHR.DB.A

Q: Would you know of any reason that there is a further decline in this debenture? The review of the company's financials and other news on their website has provided no indication of any financial issues, on the contrary, there appears to be sufficient liquidity. I thought debentures from established companies would have stability...
Thank you for further clarification!
