Q: Hello 5i team!

Your thought on adding ARKF (Ark ETF Fintech) versus buying Zillow or Open Door. With ARKF, I will add some bitcoins & fintech to my portfolio that I didn't own as well real estate selling/buying online. Zillow is down significantly after retreating from buying real estate, is it time to step in at today pricing. Thank you!

Q: Thoughts on the Opendoor quarter? Do you think this type of technology/business model has a bright future? Would you rather an equal weighting of all three of these names (say 2% each) or is there a clear leader in which it might be more prudent to take a single larger 5% position?

I feel that the real estate sector could become much more efficient and liquid especially with a large player or consolidator that increases competition and should lead to lower transaction costs. Real estate agencies and the (until somewhat recently) gatekept MLS feel like a 'dinosaur' of an industry ripe for tech-based disruption. What are your thoughts about this? Thanks.

Q: May I please get your thoughts on Opendoor Technologies? All the stocks in this group seem to have settled out and are down ~50% from their peaks. Being risk agnostic, would you prefer Zillow over Opendoor?

I like that Opendoor has housing inventory. It is unclear to me if competitors Zillow and Redfin also have inventory. I would appreciate any clarity you can provide me on that.

Thank you for your thoughts!

Q: After reading Opendoors convincing investor presentation, I'm looking to start a position in an ibuying company. How would you rank these three companies in terms of overall growth? (rdfn/open/z) Do you know of any Canadian listed companies that take part in this?

Thanks
