Q: Hi, PKI is trading well below the Sunoco offer. Who would vote Yes to such an offer?
Major shareholders: Simpson Oil 20%, surely not, FMR LLC (Fidelity) 11% ? , Engine Capital 2.5% said NO on Friday.
When will a new offer come? Probably at the last minute, it happens a lot.
Great weekend to you.

Q: Byd continues to fall. Its P/E is high and EPS low. Is there a better stock out there in the same sector that you are more comfortable with or do you see a turn around soon? T Steve
Q: I purchased my initial position at $42 just prior to the Deepseek (of course!) news and have held on since. I am wondering about adding due to your recent commentary re:good balance sheet, new analyst coverage, positive momentum, very cheap valuation vs peers and strong business model. I know you don’t support ‘back up the truck’ emotional statements but I’m wondering if this might be another 5i example of getting into a potential multi-bagger in the early stages. Could you please comment on NBIS’ potential 3-5 years down the road. Thanks so much for your expertise!

Q: With small companies I often check the quality of their web portal. ZOOMD doesn't impress me; some links don't work. They don't list a phone number in the contacts. Their address appears to be a law firm. Is the Toronto address just a front? I don't mind if the company is based in Israel but they shouldn't hide it. Ex-ceo has lots of shares to sell even if half is via controlled sale.
They had some big organizations as customers but i wonder how sticky these contracts are. And if not, why is that? Do you have any insights into it?

Q: seeing that you own some crypto I'm thinking I may get my toes wet, so to speak. At current prices, which one ETF would you favor of the above?
Also, I have more Canadian money available than US, is there disadvantage to IBIT.CA?
Should these be purchased in a Cash account, self directed RSP or TFSA?
Deduct as many questions as you need. I'll never get through these credits!

Global X High Interest Savings ETF (CASH)
Q: I asked this question on June 1, 2025 but did not get an answer so I am asking again.
What is the difference in underlining risks between ZST and high interest saving ETFs like CASH and HSAV?
What is the difference in yield between them?
I have about $100k in cash to park for 1 year ish so I am looking for a bit of yield during this time.
