Q: I have been looking at gaming stocks outside Canada. Have you got any opinions on 888 Holdings PLC, it's a British company that has pulled back after a good run?

Q: HI guys, I am getting scrubbed clean in my bath with NGD. What is your insight & opinion on them as a buyout or merger partner? Their Blackwater project with 9 mill. ozs. is $1.8B to build. They cannot do it themselves. Is a partner or an outright sale of this project or for the whole company a likely move given their hi debt levels? Your valued thots please. Thanx. Sean

Q: Thanks to good advice from 5i, my tech stocks have done well enough to make up close to 40% of my holdings! Within the sector, these are my waitings:
CSU - 12%, KXS - 12%, SHOP - 11%, CLS - 5%, GOOGL - 9%, SQ - 11 %, AAPL - 10 %, NVDA - 9%, AMZN - 15%, and SPOT - 6%.
Some of these are broadly spaced within the sector, and I hate to let any of them go, but I’m getting a bit nervous about vulnerability to a general tech turndown. Do you have suggestions for me?

Q: Granted there isn't much to analyze given that IPOA is still a SPAC that has yet to announce an acquistion, what are 5I's thoughts based on the people involved and what, apart from announcing a bad deal, would be the down side?

Thank You

Q: I will be retiring in 15 years. At that time I will have a livable pension.
I currently am 100% invested in equities (40 cad/40 us/ 20 international).
At retirement I plan on having a 50% equity and 50% bond/fixed income portfolio.
I am going to allocate 10% of my portfolio to bonds/fixed income shortly.

I plan on buying XSB and XTR.
1)Do you recommend a more diversified bond/fixed income portfolio? If so what geographic weighting and bond etfs would you recommend?
2)With a time horizon of 15 years would you hold off on purchasing long term bond etfs until after impeding interest rate increases?
thanks

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,
Across all accounts, our Industrial holdings consist of BAD, ECI, NFI, SIS, and STN,
If I sell my Enercare shares held in my TFSA, would TFII be a suitable complementary industrial stock, or do you think that any of the above industrials should be let go or added to? All are up (especially ECI for which I thank you immensely) except for NFI in my wife's TFSA, although we have two other accounts that hold NFI which are up.
As always, thanks for your insight.

Q: I'm new to the service and am interested in (mostly) following the balanced equity portfolio. I'm not interested in investing in oil stocks and am wondering what would be a good way to invest that portion of the portfolio outside of the energy sector. I'm not sure if i should just spread it out evenly between the sectors or if there are other companies or an etf that you would recommend to replace the 3 energy stocks. My time horizon is 25 years and I'm fine with some volatility.

Thanks!

Q: I understand that OSB would drop by $4.50 when it paid out the special dividend but do not understand why it has continued to fall in share price. Do you have some knowledge of what is happening? Also, if there is no good reason, would it be a good time to add some to my portfolio?
