Q: Hello 5i. I'm below on my fixed income. ZAG is almost 7% of my total portfolio but I am looking to increase this to almost 10%. Is this too high for a single ETF, and/or are you still happy with ZAG, or would you suggest an alternative. I'm looking for something fairly safe with a reasonable yield. Thanks again for your excellent service. John.

Q: I've been going through my portfolio and reevaluating if some of the stocks should continued to be held or sold; one such is BYD. I've held it for over 5 years, earned some money on the dividends but its still in the red. Do you think BYD should still be held or do you have any recommendations for its replacement?

Q: I wanted to get your take on RKLB. I’m currently up 95% on my position, but with the recent parabolic move, I’m starting to feel it’s taking on 'meme stock' characteristics and getting ahead of its fundamentals.

My instinct is that a hard pullback is coming soon. I’m considering closing the position now to lock in these gains and looking to re-enter after a period of consolidation. Given the upcoming Neutron flight window and the Feb 26th earnings, how would you approach 'top-slicing' here versus holding through the volatility?"

Q: Hi Peter & Team,

My observations are that, at the present, owning BNS is much better than being a client of BNS.

I've noticed, for example, that the customer service at Scotia iTrade, which incidentally has among the highest commission rates in the online broker category, has recently deteriorated to the point where they don't acknowledge that 'they'll get back to (me) within several days' or a similar phrase and response used by most other organizations. Indeed, with some issues I raised with them via a secure message and/or the 'service @' email, they don't respond at all.

They recently let go 3000 employees.

In my view, going forward, their client base will drop over time unless their customer service improves, making BNS less of a viable investment.

Q: hello 5i:
Years ago, we bought PANW as, back then, you considered it a "best of breed". We are not at all unhappy with results. But in continuing the "best of breed", do you see CRWD as being sufficiently "better enough" to warrant making a trade? This is not a short term hold. Can you also comment on the possibility of CRWD being acquired (doubtful that PANW) could or would be.
thanks
