Q: Hi Peter snd Staff

Building on a ranking question yesterday I own DND in my tech basket but not CTS

I’m not worried about a couple of $9.99 charges and taxes are not a consideration

Can you please expand on CTS over DND

Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: Just announced, Mission Ready Solutions Inc (“Mission Ready“) (TSX Venture: MRS) (OTCQX: MSNVF), a provider of comprehensive government contracting solutions, announces that it has granted incentive stock options (the “Options”), pursuant to its stock option plan (the “Plan”), for a total of 4,800,000 common shares of the Company, to certain directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company. The Options, subject to the terms of the Plan and the corresponding option agreements, are exercisable at a price of CAD $0.25 per share for a period of up to 5 years.

I bought in at basically double this option and others maybe more. My initial reaction is disapointment. It seems management is being given a potential reward for bad performance.

Is my reaction "emotional" and perhaps there is good reason for this?.
Thanks John

Q: Re James Qtrade USD LIRA issue, a while back I asked Qtrade the same thing about USD spousal RRSP and they said not available too. I asked why, they said there was not the customer demand for it. Perhaps as a smaller broker they just do what they feel they have to in order to keep most customers happy.

Q: I've been on the fence with this stock and was trying to decide what to do with it....I go to the 5i website and boom you've upgraded to A-. I was coming to ask if it was time to move to another tech name. I am a balanced portfolio follower slowly moving to income follower so was considering selling my ENGH and buying SYZ. I bought at $65 so am down about 15%. I take it the upgrade means you have faith even if it isn't a name you hold in the portfolios.

Q: What do you think about this: https://cloudflare.net/news/news-details/2021/Cloudflare-Announces-R2-Storage-Rapid-and-Reliable-S3-Compatible-Object-Storage-Designed-for-the-Edge/default.aspx

Seems like they will be able to compete with Amazon with this product. Is that why the share price has gone vertical since that was released?

Q: The volatility of crypto makes me wonder whether it is only a speculative trade or does it have substance? Although one could imagine a generic currency, possibly for international exchange, away from the US$, but fluctuations indicate more gambling than otherwise, especially considering the variety of cryptos now on the market. Might there be any controls/guidelines expected?
Thank you!

Q: Good morning!!!

Love the Q&A. Thanks for all the hardwork behind the scenes. This service provided has been a boon to all.

Could you please give me a break down of this company's numbers. Is it intriguing enough to begin a position? Worth watching etc. Of course the family connection as well as set up comes to mind here.

Thank you.

Q: In September you considered it a hold but are not adding to your position. Based on the last growth portfolio update, it has a weighting of ~1.2%. You have also indicated that there will likely be some tax loss selling.

I am down ~45% in my TFSA on this one and makes up 1.1% of all holdings.

What discussions are going on with 5i in regards to your position with the growth portfolio. Is patience wearing thin? Are you looking to remove it because its stuck in "show me" mode and management fails to improve margins? I am trying to decide whether to cut my losses and move onto something with better growth, execution, and conviction.
