Q: Hello, I note that you have recently had quite a number of questions about CSU. I am interested in knowing what 5i's thoughts are regarding the recent very strong stock performance. "Why has the stock price increased so dramatically" is my question. I realize it had a good recent quarter, however the price often settles down after a bit with most companies. Not CSU this time though.

Q: How much of TD's $1.2T of deposits is in their US banking operations? And does this amount include their ownership in Schwab and other banks they have a stake in?
Is this something to be concerned about, given the potential for a further run on the banks. Thank you.

Q: In the wake of turbulence there is often opportunity - is that the case for "brave" and NOT risk averse investors in the regional banks of the US? If so, what key metrics would you use and do you see some larger and safer opportunities within the regional bank space - maybe this could be an article you could write for clients?

Regards
John

Q: Hello 5i, I know you like CRWD as a cyber security company. Over the last 3 years FTNT has increased by 190% whereas CRWD has increased by 61%. I know that past performance is not a guarantee for the future, but if you had to buy just one today which one would you buy? Would you sell CRWD and replace it by FTNT? Thank you

Q: Hello 5i, my question is on taxes within a TFSA. If I was to buy US government bonds within my TFSA the interest would be tax free as long as I filled out the W8-BEN form with the brokerage company because of the tax treaty. I understand you folks aren't tax experts but in general is this true. Thanks for your help.
