Q: Some recent news about the concentration of top five companies holdings on the S&P500. I hold VSP looking for inexpensive, easy, and broad diversification. I've looked at VUN in the past for same and not a big difference in relative concentration. Do you have any particular concerns in general for the concentration and secondly, any thoughts on VUN vs VSP over a 10+ year horizon. Welcome your thoughts on any alternatives that might come to mind as well. Thank you.

Q: For international/global investments, Mawer appears to have performed well.
Would you consider either of these mutual funds adequate exposure or would there be also ETFs that would cover similar holdings, which I would prefer.
Thank you!

Q: Modern Monetary Theory appears to be gaining increasing acceptance. If Western governments were to adopt this Theory, what do you believe the impact would be to investment portfolios? What investment classes do you believe would do well, and what investment classes would do poorly? Do you see this Theory as causing a change to portfolio allocations amongst investment classes?

Thank you for your wonderful and thoughtful insights.

Q: Feasibility study is in progress for this palladium project.
It has the potential to be very robust given the large land package.
Generation Mining acquired a 51% interest in the Marathon Property from Sibanye Stillwater on July 10, 2019 and can increase its interest to 80 per cent by spending $10 million over a period of four years. As of Q1, 2020, approximately $4 million of the $10 million has been spent.
What are your views of this project.

Q: Hi 5i!
What can you tell me about a company called Avangrid (AGR:US).
Any company info would be great along with their fundamentals.
How would it compare to BEP, AQN, BLX, INE etc.?
Would it be something to invest in for 3 to 5 years at this time?
Or would you prefer the other companies named above?

Thanks.
