Q: Peter; If the Georgia election is “ overwhelming “ in the Democrats favour - basically rejecting the Trumpaffoon - is this a market changer and possibly the end of the clown politics? Crystal ball question I realize. Thanks . Rod

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team,

Do you think a swap of TEAM for MFST or CRWD inside a TFSA for a long term hold is a good idea?

Q: I'm currently trying to diversify my RIF account for 2021. I've trimmed some over weight holdings to free up some cash. I have NA covered with stocks in Canada and a couple of ETF's for the US but, nothing for the rest of world.
How would you currently rate the above now, hopefully for the coming recovery post COVID. I note, South America is not represented. do I need to consider it separately?
I'm inclined to go with 2 positions @ about 6% ......your opinion please!
All the best to you and everyone at 5i for the new year!

Q: 5i
I've held snow for a little while and was originally up about 20% but it has dropped back about 20% , so i am essentially at the point where i started . The earnings forecast for 2021 is only about 7-8% . At least from what i can find . Would you agree with this forecast ? Do you like the stock ? Would you keep it or look for something better.
Thanks for all your guidance throughout the past year .

Q: Peter - happy new year to you and the 5i team! Thanks for your great service.

I have been interested in this stock for some time but have held off purchasing shares simply because it seems to be very thinly traded. Today, for example, even with National Bank raising its target to $45.50 per share, there is a bit of a bump in volume but still a $1 spread between bid and ask.

What's up with this stock and how should one purchase shares given its weird trading patterns? I usually use limit orders but a bit hard to find a suitable buy price with this one.
