Q: I see MAXR is up about 9% today as I write this email. There doesn’t seem to be any explanation for this rise from my admittedly limited news sources. Do you know of any reason for the bump? Bye-the-way when do they report?
Thank you,
Jim

Q: Well again getting into a mining stock is killing my portfolio. I bought TV ONLY ABOUT THREE WEEKS AGO AT $1.11 only to see it now at .81. Down almost five grand in that short a period of time. Very frustrating. I don’t want to hold for three years HOPING to get back to even. If YOU owned running a portfolio would you take the rest of the money that is left and RUN somewhere else. It is in my RRSP so no tax implication.

Q: I have 4 stocks on my US watch list and even when the market is underperforming they always outperform the Market. One of them TRHC I asked you about awhile ago and you said it was a good growth story. I should have acted on it then. The other 3 are SRPT, NTLA and FNKO. Which one do you think would be the best taking risk into consideration and which one is the worst taking risk into consideration? Thank you. Dennis an old Sprott Growth Fund holder.

Q: Hi All, I have a 30 yr old son who is very bullish on cryptocurrency. He is quite excited about a new product, similar to "acorn" which I believe operates as a trading platform in the form of a downloadable app., and allows trade, buy, sell crypto with ease. I think I know your answer, but what do you think of investing in this idea? Is there an existing platform?
2nd question - What can you tell me about Clovyr? Does it trade on the TSX or DOW?
Thank you! The 5i team has helped me invest wisely over the years, and sleep well at night. I appreciate your research and members questions.
