Q: Thanks for your response to my previous query regarding validations for BEPC. I am aware of how the stock has done and management quality. What I was hoping for were some metrics , growth rates, revenue, earnings , etc that you see going forward that would provide some basis for evaluation of the shares. Also some comparison with other companies in the same sector based on similar parameters would be helpful. Would appreciate your comments and input please to the extent you feel is reasonable.Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
Your member question/s policy has been change ? As I see too many members ask questions of 2,4,6 or even 10 stock questions and looks like they use this service as "personal portfolio manager", your answer only good to that member only and do not benefit other members at all. It feels like waste of time to go through the question section these day !
I sure hope you goes back to your original policy - one stock per question - to the benefit of all members.
Thank you as always,
One of the starting members,
Tak

Q: In my US account, I hold Berkshire, Disney and MasterCard. I was thinking of selling one of these to free up some USD to purchase CRWD for more growth. Which one would you suggest selling if you were in this position?

Or, if it were possible, would you suggest converting some CAD to USD to purchase CRWD, and keep the US stocks that I have already?
Thanks
Robert

Q: The Purpose Bitcoin ETFs have started to trade today. I have read some of the available information on these ETFs but would appreciate your "clear language" interpretation.
Do you expect that the price of these ETFs will essentially match the price of Bitcoin and move up and down with Bitcoin in a relatively real-time manner? Or will it move with market demand?
Can you explain the differences between these two funds? Is it simply that one trades in USD and the other in CAD?

Thanks as always for your clarity.

Q: Hi 5i
Currently considering SHW for 1/2 position and a 2 year hold. Its down slightly off its high and offers small dividend.
What is your current opinion on this company going forward and would you consider taking a position at current price? Why /why not?
Would you consider the announced upcoming 3 for 1 stock split as potential catalyst?
Thx
Jim

Q: For New money to initiate positions which 5 stocks in each of the portfolios would you recommend investing. On a related note, is there a reason you don’t put buy or hold or buy up to prices in any of the portfolios, or is your stance if it is in there it is a buy regardless of how much a stock may have run up since it was originally recommended.
