Q: Regarding Savalai's question on August 22, 2024 about insurance for grandkids.
Many years ago (25-30) my parents purchased permanent life insurance for all their grandkids and after that time the cash value, unfortunately, was negligible in comparison to what an index ETF tracking the general market would have been.
Of course there are many variables to consider and perhaps the insurance purchased by my parents was an inferior product, but they often wished they had purchased blue-chip stocks (ETFs were not widely available then) instead.
Q: Entrepreneur and author Tony Seba has an amazing record of correctly predicting various time frames for a number of disruptions. His prediction of what Robotaxis will potentially do to the auto industry is concerning enough.
My question though, is prediction on how Precision Fermentation will affect the food industry and agriculture. It sounds like by 2030, the dairy industry will essentially be bust followed by meat and egg production in the mid 2030's - if I understand this correctly. My concern is my investment in Nutrien, should this occur. This isn't really all that far into the future.
Also, not sure if 5i has an opinion on Tony Seba's views of the future in general, but I was wondering if investing in an ETF with Precision Fermentation content is a suitable investment. I came across EATV which has a "smallish" portion in this sector, but has a relatively high expense ratio and light volume. Your thoughts ?
Q: I believe the next Bank of Canada announcement on interest rate is scheduled for September 4 th, while I don't expect a perfect crystal ball, what does 5i / the market think the most likely action will be; ? reduce rate by 0,25 %

Q: On the last quarter conference call there was a review of the earnings and potential growth in earnings per share in the future. With the organic growth and potential margin improvement from cost cutting, earnout payments dropping in future years, spin out of Provider Solutions and the potential monetization of Circle/Wisp (assuming the money spent on debt reduction and share buybacks). I expect that the earnings should improve significantly in the next two or three years. All of this ignores any acquisitions. If all this happens I figure all is needed is some patience and we should see higher stock price 3 years out perhaps significantly agree?
