Q: How much overlap (competition) does Tecsys have with KXS? Given that TCS price has dropped after a sold quarterly report, can we expect a similar drop when KXS reports next week, regardless of strong numbers? If you were sitting at a KXS board meeting and the subject of purchasing / takeover of TCS came up... what reply would you have?

Q: I bought MSCI in 2018 mostly for its recurring revenue and ability to set its prices. It has been a steady grower. Do you expect this to continue or has it reached a plateau? Does it have meaningful competition yet? If I sell to buy an ARK fund, am I taking on a lot more risk? Thank you. Hi, I just asked a Q about MSCI. Another option I am considering is to sell MSCI to buy MCO to capture some higher growth that may happen in this investing climate. Should I switch or hold steady? Thanks.

Q: hello 5i:
Many moons ago, we bought CSU.DB as a fixed income part of the portfolio for its (large) interest rate over prevailing rates at the time. All that was expected was a steady, relatively safe interest payment. The fact we've now got a very good capital gain as well, is a real bonus.
So, the question: is there a debt instrument, currently, that you would put in the same class as CSU.DB, that still has decent liquidity?
thanks

Q: Hi 5I,

Would you be able to comment on the Gold Price? It's down to the low 1700's at the time of this question, and was hoping for some insight on how you see it behaving in the Short/Medium/Long term.

Thanks

Q: Dear Peter and Ryan.
I am confident in global recovery after deployment of the vaccines and would like to allocate fund to Recovery play in my RRSP. It is long term investment but it would be nice to see some gain in the short term too. Can you please recommend a few companies or ETF in CAD or USD?

Thank you,
Yiwen

Q: Is the US dollar still considered as strong a safe-haven currency as in previous years? If yes, is there typically a correlation between it rising along with the VIX? I have been surprised at the level the US dollar has dropped over the past year.
Thanks, Cathy

Q: Do you concur with seeking Alpha? Thanks!
Canadian Solar Inc. (CSIQ) is cheaply valued. Especially considering its growth potential. The company has a strong backlog in energy projects and plans significant production capacity expansion. It is also planning to unlock value by an IPO in China of a subsidiary. The relative valuation to peers looks good as well. The company had a strong performance over the past year, it's still a bit behind other solar stocks as shown by the Invesco Solar ETF (TAN).
