Q: Hello 5i,
In the "Managing your Prtfolio" section of the Portfolio Analysis it is mentioned that a sector should be no more than 20%, yet I am warned tht I am near 20% in an industry. What is the reason for the difference? Could it be that the industries make up a sector and here are diffeent values for industries than for sectors?
Thank you

Q: I am glad I bought a few thousand shares of frontier lithium in 2022. The seem to have a claim with various lithium deposits at or near surface. It is a big bonus that the claim is not far from the all-weather road and power lines that Ontario has built with that project to connect 16 or 17 first nations to the main power grid. Combining what looks like very good lithium deposits, in a safe, mining friendly jurisdictions with some mayor infrastructure not far away makes for an interesting investment. The chart on FL has gone almost vertical the past couple of weeks. I have not checked the volume and I am aware that the entire lithium sector has been strong lately, but is there something extra on your radar that can explain this rapid ascent in share price and if not, should I take some profits?

Q: Too good to be true alert: Can HMAX consistently deliver a 13% return using call options? This is near triple the yield on some of the big six bank stocks. It's hard to believe that a 13% return can be consistently delivered. Doesn't seem real. What might the downside be to owning this vehicle? Thank you!

Q: Hi Guys,
