Q: Good afternoon 5i
I read recently that it is possible to donate shares which have had a capital loss to charity. I was aware of the capital gain rule but not this. I tried to search this question but with no luck. I am sure that you would know. Is there any big advantage to doing this if one also has sizeable capital gains?
Thanks

Q: I’m losing patience with Disney after another poor quarter and poor management performance. I don’t want to give up on the franchise, but wondering if holding this stock at a time is costing me staying out of other opportunities at this his time. What are your thoughts on Disney? Hold or sell and move on?

Q: Dear 5i
From what i`ve read over the years , it is my understanding that for every 1% increase or decrease in interest rates there is a corresponding 10% increase or decrease in bond prices . Is this generally accurate ?
If so would it be advisable , once it is believed that interest rates have peaked , to purchase a bond ETF ( with longer term holdings ) ? If so what would be your bond ETF of choice ? That being said if interest rates have indeed peaked it would also be favourable for stocks as well . As such i suppose the best scenario is the add to both with new money . Do you agree ?
Thanks as usual ,

Q: I have been doing a deeper dive on the result from CRWD and NVEI, both have increased their share compensation to employees substantially in the last year. As an investor do you have any concerns, I am wondering how much of the future gains will go to shareholders?

Thank you for everything you do. Leo

Q: Peter and Co.
Having never purchased a bond or a bond fund I would appreciate any recomendations you might have for an individual bond to purchase or a bond ETF that provides some income, not a high priority, as well as good potential for capital gains when rates eventually drop. Would a strip bond be recommended?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you provide an update on MDF's debt and balance sheet. From a question on today's Market Call, it has either sold off a small division or is in the process of doing this. How significantly would this affect the balance sheet. Also do you see any indications that the company is striving harder to achieve profitability and better margins. Thanks.
