Q: Hello,

You've replied to questions regarding Valeura Energy's financials earlier in the year. It seemed at the time, you used Bloomberg's numbers which differ greatly from that of the company's. Wondering if you can take another look and comment on whether you feel the current share price still represents good value. Their revenue and cash position over the past few years seems decent for a smaller oil play. Just wondering if I should continue hanging on to my position for a little more potential upside?
Thank you,
Tom

Q: I am currently taking CSC and in the textbook they talk about negative interest rates happening during Covid in the US and that they have happened in Japan or in Europe. I don't understand why firms would choose to buy bonds that guarantee them a loss of money when in theory they could choose to just hold cash. Could you please provide some clarification on why firms or people would buy (nominal) negative interest rate bonds?

Q: Hi Team:
I have some cash sitting in RIF acct. Presently in RBF2010 paying 2.3% interest, with unlimited charge for buy or sells..
Would I be better to spent the $9.95 and buy into something like CASH or PSA? Then I would also have to pay $9.95 to get out.
As a follow-up to that question how about if this was in an 'open account' , Where the interest is taxed at 100% income whereas CASH or PSA would act like a dividend income and therefore taxed at roughly 66% income.
OR do you have a better suggestion for larger amounts of $$
Thank you. :-)

Q: Given the current Political/Fiscal/Demographic environment, I want to deploy funds to services that cater to seniors. The caveats are: 1) Taxable Account; 2) Cdn. $s; 3) To hold for 5+ years; and 4) Dividends of both seem reasonable, but are future prospects comparable, given relative financial strength and current governance? Thank you for your support and the questions from my fellow subscribers with your responses. Bill

Q: Crypto. As a retiree, I have stayed away from the whole bitcoin field, and from afar, have watched my nephews exulting in their current success. Even at my age, I am not immune to FOMO. I am not fearful of risk but have stuck to areas that have some form of business that I can wrap my mind around. Like NBIS, and Kraken, thank you very much. If I was to stick my toe in the crypto area, what approach would you suggest? I'm guessing an ETF but which one? Thanks for your ongoing advice, to me and to all your other subscribers. Using 5i guidance over the years, I have a decently performing, balanced portfolio, weighted with RBC, SLF, ENB, the Brookfield gang and the like. A dash of crypto? all the best

Q: I red recently an analysis which seems serious and documented and displays a pessimistic note (SELL) on this company, underlying amid other remarks, the very high evaluation of the stock with a multiple of forward PE 244.21 compared to the industry average forward 29.03. What to think? Please give me your appreciation and your own opinion on the subject.

Thank you very much in advance
