Q: Hi,
We own no crypto stocks. I feel that we should have some exposure in our portfolio. Now there has been a bit of a pull back… I cannot decide on what combination of stocks or ETF’s (cnd or US$) to buy in this sector for total portfolio weight of approximately 4-5%. What 3 combination of companies and/or ETF would you buy for a balanced exposure to the sector.
Thanks for all that you do!

Q: Further to my last question about Tether, the Financial Times is also reporting the following:

Crypto-hoarding companies are ditching their holdings in a bid to prop up their sinking share prices, as the craze for “digital asset treasury” businesses unravels in the face of a $1tn cryptocurrency rout.

Can you please provide some context around what’s going on in the crypto space lately and any thoughts about where it goes to from here?

Many thanks.

Michael

Q: What are your thoughts on the recent S&P Global Ratings downgrade on Tether? As reported in the Financial Times:

The rating agency warned that the company has “limited transparency on reserve management and risk appetite, lack of a robust regulatory framework [and] no asset segregation to protect against the issuer’s insolvency”.

Thank you.

Q: Critics are so frequent (and factors well explained) concerning covered call ETFs or covered call ETFs + leverage . My own experience is surprisingly positive since I keep about 10-20 % of those specialized ETFs( carefully selected though) in my portfolios , the results are excellent since, after 2-5 years , most of them show significant capital gain (often up to 50%) and no decreased NAV ..What strategy ( ETF vs stocks,or covered call ETF,ETF+leverage) do you suggest for a long term dividend investor ?

Q: Hello,

I've noticed in recent exchanges a renewed interest in the CSU family. For a relatively conservative investor, wouldn't it be more prudent to focus on the parent company rather than spreading capital across all three companies in the group?

Thanks

Q: A number of Small/Mid caps seem to be finding a bottom and rebounding nicely over the last week.. I have small positions in these names, what order would you be adding to these names at current pricing? Is there any you wouldn’t add to?

Thanks

Q: When the offer from Anglo to acquire Teck first came out I believe you were of the opinion that another offer may come out or that the Anglo offer could be amended. I took that to mean that one should hold onto their Teck shares to see how things shake out even though you prefer CS and LUN to Teck.....did I understand you correctly? With BHPs recent moves, things seem to be getting interesting in this space. If you were holding Teck what would you be doing 1) sitting tight waiting for clarity or 2) selling now and moving on to better opportunities - if so would CS and Lun still be your recommendations?

Keep up the great service!
