Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Are there any mutual funds or ETFs which invest in Private equity? Or simply buy the companies (Blackrock, Fairfax, KK etc) to get that exposure. I would like to add that for diversification but need direction.

Q: hi folks:

i try my best to avoid any counter party risk in my portfolio (because i am a luddite and think the derivative markets are in search of a pin)

2 questions:

are there any crypto etfs/funds that you are aware of that actually hold the underlying crypto asset?

seondly (with the same proviso) are you aware of a'one stop' crypto etf that would have say 50% BTC and the balance allocated amongst the 'others'

overall, looking for a one ticket solution with actual ownership

thank you

ps. as i understand it,. assets like IBIT, ETC ......do not meet the 'ownership criteria' noted; whereas FBTC (fidelity) and BTCC (purpose) do

Q: Hi, now that ATD has formally dropped the proposed take over of 7-Eleven, where do you see the stock price reverting to? Low-mid 70's ...until they announce their next deal.?
I have owned (and trimmed) over the last 10+ years so have done well but I don't think I will get the same returns as I have previously. Can you please suggest a replacement?

Thank you!
Steve

Q: While very disappointed in what we will finally get for our PKI shares, I am thinking that the best option might be to take all SUN shares for my PKI shares and hope that the SUN shares go higher, perhaps closer to $44 over the next 6 months. I don't see anyone getting all cash for their PKI shares. What would you do with your shares? Also, I voted against the takeover and I am wonder when and how I will get the opportunity to indicate my choice of compensation? Thanks for your great service.

Q: In the Globe and Mail, July 16, there was an article by Scott Barlow called "Valuations and market concentration are reasons for concern." He likens the current Technology sector to mirror many of the same realities as the 2000's- before the dot com bust. What is your opinion?
As always, Thank you for the fantastic service too and helpful guidance. Ric
