Q: Hello 5i,
I would like to buy HSAV.ca for a 1 year hold but I’m concerned about the erosion of the .62% premium and
price in a declining rate environment. I appreciate your thoughts. Would you still consider it a buy. It seems to be the only tax efficient HSIA available in Canada so perhaps it will always maintain its demand. Thank you.

Q: A full position is considered to be 5%. So if a family has say 2 tfsa’s of $50k each and an RSP of $100k for total of $200k, would you look at a 5% full position in each account, which would amount to $2500 in each tfsa and $5000 in the RSP, or would you look at 5% based on the household registered total of $10,000 and be ok with a $10,000 hold in 1 RSP account even though in that account its 20% but still only 5% of the family portfolio if you will. Hope this makes some sense.

Q: Put Options betting the stock will go down or Call Options betting the stock will go up.

Do you prefer one over the other?

Thinking of trying both, I'm a 10 year self investor.

Or just continue to buy stock for the long term?

Are there any statistics that prove using Put & Call's perform better than buying and holding stocks?

Thank you.

Q: Hi team ?

What are your views on Altimmune (ALT-Q) and its growth prospects, its risks ? Would you buy it now for a growth account in a TFSA ? Which entry price would you suggest ?

Gratefully,

Q: What's your take on the special div?

It's funny, many of the people (non experts) I follow on Twitter/X aren't impressed, as everyone would rather see that money stored up to continue with acquisitions. I guess CSU/TOI/LMN has raised their own bars so high a special div seems small compared with the overall returns people have some to expect from them....
