Q: Dear 5i,

Re Peter's article in the Financial Post article Sept. 17;
A comment was made about how an individual investor might
make a simple structured investment product using T-bills and call options. This interests me and I would like to learn more about how to do this and the risk and return behind this strategy. Can you please suggest some good reading material.

thanks
Ian

Q: Thoughts on AMWL and the IPO? Did not double or run up too crazy like some of the other recent IPOs. Thinking in 3-5 years a sub $25 purchase price may look good. I like the Google backing and the optionality with what they can do together with the Google technology and Fitbit acquisition. Any interest in this company or is TDOC the go to name?

Q: Would you know of any reason that there is a further decline in this debenture? The review of the company's financials and other news on their website has provided no indication of any financial issues, on the contrary, there appears to be sufficient liquidity. I thought debentures from established companies would have stability...
Thank you for further clarification!

Q: Hello 5i,
I have the above ETF's in my TFSA as I believed the distribution is interest. I read in reports that distribution is dividend or "dividend interest") All quite confusing. In the TFSA's are also a GIC 5 year ladder, growth stocks (LSPD, LNF) and some high dividend paying equities. Should I journal the above ETF's to a non-registered account and refill the TFSA come January with more growth and GIC's or leave everything alone? I am 73 with a defined pension and 60/40 fixed / equity

Q: I own a considerable position in this ETF for exposure to Artificial Intelligence . It has done extremely well but seems to be levelling off . Obviously at 3x index , holding it becomes a crap shoot. UBOT may be too risky . Does it make sense to stay in the sector , or what might you recommend ?

Q: Hi Folks,

I know your main focus is stocks, but if you have some cash to invest and you don't want it it equities, would you prefer XBB or XSB right now? Or is there another bond fund alternative I should look at for $CDN. This if for a long term hold.

Thank you. Michael

Thank you.
