Q: Hello 5i team
Could I have your thoughts on Green Brick Partners please? If you could highlight what you see as positive and negative. If it falls into a growth catagory and if you would buy it right now compared to its peers (Please mention who has better prospects if you feel that way). If so to what weighting would you buy up to?
Thank you

Q: Cathy Wood's ARKW ETF has a Canadian version being EAFT-NE. The EAFT has a different management company than the ARKW which Cathy Wood looks after. BDO was the accounting firm for the Canadian version of her funds until awhile ago. Now they do not have an accounting firm and they have run out of time to get one and so their funds are not allowed to trade. Would the Securities Commission be looking into this as me and many other owners would not be happy this is happening or once it trades will it mirror the ARKW which is the US version of it and it is trading?
On another note, my wife's broker advised that active short term traders would have to pay 100% tax on their gains.

Q: Hello 5i team,
I have a few guestion about the overall cause of ANRG's massive drop over the past year. Is it simply poor performace/management? The past quarter was bad but was there not growth in the annual numbers.

Or was it something with Litigation? I looked at this in the MD&A but did not quite understand it.

Thanks,
Andrew

Q: To be sure, how is NAV moving up or down for a cash maximizer like HSAV? Why would a premium be given to HSAV? Am I correct in thinking that their performance is closely linked to the 2 year bonds as they have both pretty much the same YTD return. Is one better over the other and if yes, why?

Take as many credits as necessary.

Thank you
Yves
