Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: More of a comment to you answer to Paul's questions about PayPal and Visa as I recently asked a questions about the 2 companies, loved your summary, but you missed adding what I would think is something thats a huge growth area for Square and PayPal... Visa not so much... Cash App.

Taken from Square's recent earnings " Cash App delivered strong growth in the third quarter of 2020, generating $2.07 billion of revenue and $385 million of gross profit, which increased 574% and 212% year over year, respectively. Excluding bitcoin, Cash App revenue was $435 million, up 174% year over year"

Bitcoin and stock trading, drives engagement and then those customers tend to use more of the app, as you would know PayPal has Venmo whis is or was the leader in a similar space but Visa wouldnt have anything similar or do they?

Q: Hi 5i,
Thank you very much to 5i for helping me grow my new account significantly since April 2020 where I have a mix of growth and dividend stocks based on your advice. I definitely outperformed the indexes! Can you provide me with a list of 12-15 stocks in various sectors with growing dividends as I am now looking to reduce the volatility of my stocks? I am fine with US stocks as well.
Thanks very much

Q: I'm interested in the water theme in general. Have contemplated buying CWW but already own AQN (part of CWW) and HEO as water plays. Now that XYL has come down under $100 would you be buyers at this price for a long term hold? Any other water names you like?

Q: In your opinion how will these short squeeze situations affect the markets going forward? Will we never see such a large percentage of the float being shorted again? Surely any company that experiences a 100% float will be the next target of a reddit campaign.

It could also be looked at from the other side. Any company with a high percentage of shares sold short could experience buyers trying to preemptively predict reddit forums from doing it first. Has this situation permanently changed short selling?

Q: I am looking to rebalance my non-registered portfolio, which will mean taking capital gains and transfer to my TFSA. Today, my position is about equal in RY, BMO and CNR.
I would like to reinvest the cash from these capital gains in Tech and Health sectors from 5i's balanced portfolio. I do not have either sector in my TFSA today.
Which of the 3 non-registered stocks would you suggest selling?
What would you recommend buying for TFSA?
