Q: As a Fortuna investor I was disappointed in the Roxgold takeover offer. I try and avoid the geographical areas Roxgold is in and also want FVI for a silver play. I see no advantage to the takeover from FVI's perspective and it looks like the market agrees. What do you think about this offer and merger with Roxgold? Does it make sense to you?

Q: I realize that you do not have a crystal ball however my concern is over the Covid Variants especially the ones in India. There is a suggestion that some of the variants may block the effectiveness of the vaccines. If this becomes a huge issue, I am thinking that the market could be in for another rout. I wonder if sitting in cash is the prudent thing to do and just wait out the current virus situation. The market has gone up allot and I would rather give up a small potential gain over time vs a large drop in a much shorter period of time. Your thoughts?

Q: Hi 5i
Can I please get your thoughts on geographic selection for index mutual fund investment?

Working with TD e-Series Funds, monthly contribution, 19 year old just getting started, single fund has been the thought so far.

Choice Range: Canada Index? US Index? International Index(Holds TPE ETF)?
(can go Europe only but I'm guessing you will ward off this selection)

Comments welcome on all aspects.
Thanks
Dave

Q: SPY, QQQ, and IWM HAve what seem to be historically (and ridiculously) attenuated charts especially viewed from a 20 year perspective. Short of using trailing stop loss orders with each of my largely dividend-oriented equity positions, what would you recommend as a defensive strategy? E.G. gradually adding to a laddered IWM put and/or LEAP put position(s)?
