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

Q: Can you suggest some Canadian and US listed stocks and ETF's one might want consider to get a small exposure to BlockChain in a TFSA. Do any of these companies make any money? Do you think the ETF's are reasonable proxies for BitCoin but with less volatility?

Q: I've owned this stock for over a year now. It moves with BTC and sometimes goes up and down proportionally and many times moves at a premium to BTC.

Over the last week it has performed very differently to how it has over the past year VASTLY underperforming the underlying asset.

I know all about the company and its holdings of BTC, don't spend time explaining that.

I've searched everywhere and cannot determine why MSTR is so underperforming BTC in the past 7 trading days where BTC has moved very bullishly.

eg.

Currently BTC is up 5.47% and MSTR is up 1.2%

Over the past 5 days BTC is up 9.75% and MSTR is down 8.9%

Can you advise why the major discrepency?


Thanks


Sheldon

Q: Hi,

Currently have no exposure to crypto and have been a spectator on the sidelines mainly. I held positions in HUT and HIVE awhile back but sold those. With almost certain approval of a spot bitcoin ETF, the market is gaining optimism and it seems investors are more bullish on crypto. What is your view on the current crypto market? Is this run up going to be followed by another crash or do you see more sustained rally with the new ETF? Is this rally going to be followed by another selloff once the ETF news is approved?

What are some low, med, higher risks positions to gain exposure if one wanted some small exposure. Here are some I'm watching. Can you rank whether they are low, med, or higher risk.

HUT, HIVE, BITF, RIOT, DGHI, MSTR, RIOT, COIN, GLXY

I know you own GLXY in the model portfolio already. Also, what would be your top ETF for exposure?

I'm a very disciplined investor, but on the edge of FOMO ; )

Thanks!

Q: I have read MicroStrategies is developing software to increase the utility of Bitcoin for financial transactions. Do you have any information with regard to this. Also based on Bitcoins current price and the amount Bitcoin held by MicroStrategy does the current stock price represent good value. Thanks

Q: I know that Square, Paypal and MicroStrategy have Bitcoin on their balance sheets. How much of an influence do you think this is having on each companies share price? What is the per share value of the Bitcoin that each company holds? Thank you.

Q: I took a position in BLOK:US on the recommendation of a contributor to your Canadian Money Magaine (BTW I give each of my three children a subscription for Christmas becasue it is simply the best financial advice product anywhere). The thesis of the nvestment was to participate in AI for the future. I put it away as a long term investment. BLOK has been showing extraordianary growth lately. I'm not sure why? Is there a specific reason? Is it a long term hold or a sell opportunity? David

Q: Hi, other than GBTC and QBTC, if one wanted to take a flyer in some bitcoin stocks, what would be 2-3 "high quality" Cdn or US names and how would they rank? And any other ETF's other than the two mentioned that could benefit? Thanks!
