Investment Q&A

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

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: Might buy a house, probably won't buy a house. Prices so high, I've been maxout out the FHSA so far and it's mostly in VEQT, bit of PLTR and CRWD which have done well. What other US or CAD stock would you recommend (shorter term BUT will leave it in there longer if market goes down/ ultimately could convert to RRSP) that is underpriced and or could have huge potential upside. Imagining turning the FHSA $40,000 limit into ... ideally a $200,000 down pmt over the next 3-10 years

Q: NVDA has now grown to 8% of my portfolio and I am considering paring it back down (again) to 5%. I don't have any crypto exposure, so am looking at investing the freed-up funds in HOOD. This would bring my investment in financials to just over 30%. I know you can't comment on individual allocations, but if this were your portfolio and you already held BN, BAM, X, V and HMAX...would you be concerned about putting too many eggs in the same basket? Or would you feel there is sufficient diversity within the already-held funds to add HOOD? Thank you.

Q: For Crypto exposure, I have a 1.5% position in COIN, a 2% position in GLXY (up 25%) and a .5% position in MSTE. I want to invest another 1.5% by either bringing COIN to 3% or investing in HOOD at 1.5%. Would you add to COIN or diversify into HOOD? Would you be comfortable with 5.5% total in diversified Crypto holdings?
