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

Q: Good morning- for a thirty year old looking to build a US ETF portfolio, which ones would you suggest. He already has a full position in VOO and a smaller one in IWO. Also, can you suggest a couple of international ETF's, say for all Asia ( with and without China) and for Europe, to round out a preponderance of US ETF's.

Thanks

Q: Could you compare the cumulative returns between BTCC and BTCY for the past 2 years or so. I know a yielding product would typically return less over time with an appreciating underlying asset, but I'm wondering what the comparison is assuming one reinvested dividends?

Also, could you also suggest what bitcoin etf in Canada has the lowest fees or the best one to use for a long term hold?

Thanks very much

Q: Hello, and thank you for an informative service. In theory, what are your views on adding to a so-called expensive/highly valued stock when your original cost basis is quite low? For example, I keep reading how Dollarama is at a high premium right now. I have a lot of it, and my original cost basis is about $97. Even adding a couple thousand dollars would keep it at something like $97.50. as a general rule or idea, is it worth building on positions like this? Also, I don't know if this would be considered a second question, but if you could rank the five stocks in order to purchase today keeping in mind my original question, that would be much appreciated. Thank you again.

Q: On September 24 you answered a questions in which the person asked about a RRSP but in your answer you mentioned RESP so not sure if the answer is for a RRSP or RESP but would IWO or IUSG be better for a RESP. Money is not needed for 10 years.

Thanks

Q: I currently hold full positions in NVDA and VRT. I'm considering adding a half position in AVGO, but wondering if that's too much concentration in closely related sectors. Would you hold all of these stocks or look for greater diversity?

Q: Hi team,
Is the 10% drop in PRL shares a buying opp today? As usual in the market these drops make little sense mathematically speaking the offer of 100 million in shares on a company with over 1 billion market cap should theoretically not drop all the way back to offer price . Same thing happened to HPS a couple days ago. If the deal was good; which no reason to doubt it won’t be if you trust the company , then it seems like a gift to buy shares in the dip on days like today. Or what am I missing here ?

Thanks ,
Shane

Q: Why are the markets so insensitive to what’s going in the world? Near war in the Middle East, genocide in Ukraine, far-right parties everywhere in Europe, vicious comments in the US . Not close enough yet to North American pockets? Publish if you want. Thanks.

Q: Just a comment. Quite some time ago GSY was trading around $90 and issued a huge number of shares significantly under 90. The deal sold out plus the over allotment. The market price dropped of course on high volume. I realized that the firm buying the shares were fully expecting that the value of GSY hence the share price would go well beyond $90.
I apply the same thoughts to PRL

Q: My favorite holdings LMN and DRX are lagging behind recently. It seems that LMN has a significant insiders selling over the past few months and DRX has a customer concentration risk issue. With the current negative momentum, do you see any red flag for concern or a good opportunity to buy more with new cash ? Thank you for your great service. Bill.
