Q: I am really impressed with your comments on Bitcoin, that was comprehensive and informative. You have correctly described about extreme volatility that is involved in this type of investment and the great opportunities that wait for those with strong hearts and minds.
Keep up the good work.

Q: I am retired and comfortable with the mix of stocks I have but with the increase in chatter about bitcoin I wonder if I am missing something. I have looked at bitcoin as a pyramid scheme and avoided it. Can you comment on its value and if you think is has any, maybe suggest some options to buy into this new commodity.

Q: I have held Envista for some time, as I am familiar with its suite of products; many of which are considered among best-in-class in dentistry. The share price has declined substantially in the last twelve months. I would like to know if the underlying business has substantially deteriorated, or if there are signs that the company can right itself within the next twelve to twenty-four months. As always, I appreciate any insight you have to offer. Thanks so much, and I look forward to hearing back from you.

Q: Recently sold a rental house and am looking for investment in low risk but monthly payment in a non registered account. I’m not comfortable with bonds and so far have come up with either laddered GICs ( paid out every 6 months) or combination of PFL, XFR, and ZMMK. Do you have any thoughts on any of this. Which would have a the best tax rate implications? And would you have any other suggestions that would work best in the current reduced rate environment we are heading in the next few years.
Thanks

Q: Hello,

GEQT vs XEQT vs VEQT vs FEQT, which one is the better buy in the all in one all equity ETFs category and why?

The sector allocations of WSRI and WSRD are quite different than the typical ETFs, with top 3 sectors being consumers goods, healthcare, consumers services. Do you think these sectors will provide some good returns compare to high technology focus ETFs?

Thanks.

Thanks.

Q: Hello
I m wondering if your team has thought about a AI filtering / Help options for your Questions tab ? IMO I m noticing near 50% of the asked questions have been previously answered MANY TIMES OVER. This would allow other 5i members to save times not having to read the mulit requests on the same information.

This feature would most importantly allow the 5i moderator to focus on other NEW Questions, strategize on more / improved technical features (PA) for the platform or infact start to create member reports for the USA positions the moderators in fact hold and endorse.
This issue has really bothered me that many CDN TSX microcap positions have reports and endorsements (even on the 5i X acct) to buy while the 5iii moderatior doesnt in fact own them IE no skin in the game. FWIW many have very poor returns or get dropped from your T.A radar !

Just my thoughts as longtime PA Member

Q: Can you give your updated thoughts on Caldwell Partners? In their recent ER the mgmt made comments that growth in this current quarter was getting strong again. If growth is in fact returning, not sure for how long since the revs are lumpy and highly tied to the economy. But if growth returns, does the company look like a decent higher risk microcap buy otherwise? Thx
