Q: Good day, 5i Team,

Do we have any Canadian stocks that might benefit from increased military spending?

Do we have any publicly traded military-oriented start-ups?

Thanks

Q: Nutrien (NTR:CA) shares have steadily dropped about 43% over the last 3 years, so what is the prognosis going forward?
I'm missing something.
Since the USA apparently buys approximately 85-90% of their potash from Canada and the alternative supply is overseas, isn't this a captive market?
Why doesn't Nutrien (assuming it to be the biggest potash player in Canada) increase the price to build value and increase the share price?

Q: I have held Kinaxis for a few (disappointing) years now. This is a logistics/ risk management software company as I understand it.
If what there were a time to succeed in this environment, it would be this- I mean the only thing more timely might be a German weapons maker in terms of sector demand.
Is there reason to believe that KXS has a useful downstream growth story to justify holding?

Q: These two seem to be in the same "space". I'm not sure if they are competitors. I'm also trying to better understand this crypto market. Both appear to have potential and I understand that they are risky and I assume they both will move with the price of bitcoin.
I would like to have a small position. Do you recomend one over the other or a small position in each. Thanks John

Q: I right now have 100,000 in cash (Canadian Dollars) that I want to keep in Money Market ETFs for the Short Term.

I have been trying to find the yield for all of the above and it is not easy because most of them show me the annualized yield. Interest rates have come down several times in the last year so the annual yield is not the best way to compare the above funds.

Which of the two funds above do you recommend, the reasons why and what is the current yield on it.

My brokerage account is with Questrade and they do not offer any of their own High Interest Savings Accounts like TD Direct Investing.

Thank You.
