Q: Hi there, I asked a question about this etf and you responded with a link to a previously asked question but that precious question isn’t about the etf I was referring to. Thanks!

Q: I have a low cost base on MSTR and it has become wildly outsized as a position in my portfolio. I want to maintain significant exposure to BTC and crypto more generally but diversify this exposure to maintain my exposure levels while reducing the company specific risks that I currently have. To keep this outside of being direct investing advice, if you were to start a small crypto portfolio using $10,000 and wanted MSTR to be a part of it, what else would you buy and in what position size to enjoy diversified crypto exposure? Note, it doesn't have to be all directly tied to BTC if you think ETH or SOL deserve attention.

Thanks!

Q: Dear Peter et al:

The earnings season is about to begin! VRT on 23/07 and NBIS on 31/07. I know you don't like to buy something purely based on one quarter's earnings. But if one needs to add to an existing VRT position, is it prudent to wait or add now? I have no position in NBIS. Should one buy now or wait till the earnings or out? The main reason I am asking is NOT to time the market but to avoid that free fall that sometimes these earnings bring on! Seem to be more unpredictable nowadays than ever before!

Q: We're taking some profits from my wife's position in TVK, and I'm looking to establish a new position for her.

For what might qualify as tech/AI, she has DSG, AMZN.ca and Goog.ca. On the AI theme, I'm considering Avgo.ne (I'm overweight Nvidia), ASML.ne or AMD.to. She also lacks in Communications and tech generally, so I'm also thinking NFLX.ne. and Uber.ne.

This is intended to be a long-term holding with growth in mind, so can you rank the five companies -- AVGO, ASML, AMD, NFLX and UBER in order of preference please in terms of long-term growth.

And thank you for your service over the last decade-plus, because retirement certainly wouldn't be in sight without 5I's help.

Pete, Calgary.

Q: I am a senior and have been a member of 5I since you started. Between us "we" have been very successful!
I want to give back in the form of an endowment to our local Church to continue providing funds for a couple of local charities that feed and provide to those less fortunate! I will be allocating shares to Canada Helps to provide the seed funds, probably 100-200K.
I know stocks would be very difficult to administer, but ETF's less so. Also, maybe they can only do Mutual Funds.
If mutual funds do you suggest MAWER?
If ETF's and using some of your previous correspondence do you continue to to suggest ZSP, XIC, VIU, and CDZ.
Any help you provide would be greatly appreciated as we meet with the Church Staff.
Warmest Regards Gordo

Q: Hello,

What are your thoughts on having those ETF/MF in ones portfolio with the purpose of generating a stable monthly dividend? Also, I am interested in your thoughts regarding MSTY (US) ETF which appears to pay a dividend of 127.45%. How sustainable is this rate. Looking forward to your thoughts.
