Q: More of a comment really.

Some members of 5i are having conniptions about SHOP. Me too. Nobody likes to see their investment tank any more than I do. But I am diversified so am not getting too hurt by the action of SHOP. The only advice I can offer is that if you have an outsized position in any stock, not just SHOP, maybe you should rethink your strategy. If you are well diversified, just suck it up. This too will pass.

I am pleased with 5i but markets do go down from time. And this is just one of those times. The market gained so much in the last 6 or 8 months that us market watchers are not least bit surprised about our current downturn.

Q: someone asked whether transferring between his/her US tfsa to a cdn tfsa would be a disposition and contribution OR an internal transfer with no effect on contributions

i would check with your institution because if they are considered 2 separate tfsa's then this will be a redemption and thus you will not be able to put the $$ to the other tfsa till jan 1 2023

better check than be subject to onerous penalties from overcontributing in 2022

Q: MS has been dropping the past few days, likely with the market in general and geopolitical reasons but perhaps also due to news that the SEC and DOJ are investigating the business on block trading. Given this disclosure, would you suggesting moving out of the position (even at this depressed price) into another such as JPM that does not have this similar SEC risk? Or, could this even be an opportunity to build on the MS position?

Q: Hi 5i
I am considering initiating a position in earthstone energy but there have been no questions asked on this energy stock and I would like your opinion.

The company has made several acquisitions in 2021 with another expected to close in second quarter..

What is your opinion on this company going forward and would you be interested at current price levels and if not why, why not.
Where do you it going medium/short term....Do they have potential given current the economic conditions affecting oil?

Many thanks
Jim

Q: Dear Peter and Ryan.

I did not sell any stocks yet and my portfolio incurred significant loss lately. I was going to ride through the drop. Now I started to doubt my decision. How do you think about the tension/war between Russian and Ukraine, in addition to rising interest rates? If you don't recommend selling now, do you think it is an opportunity to buy more?

Thank you

Yiwen in panic mode :-)
