Q: Hi Peter & team,

I am curious about your thoughts with regards to MindMed (MNMD). They are a US biotech that is involved with clinically supervised psychedelic therapy for PTSD, anxiety, etc.

Promising research has come out of Johns Hopkins led by Roland Griffiths. Public trust still needs to be ascertained, however, even if trust seems to be waning slowly with conventional medicine.

Would this be a holding that you expect to do well in the long term?

Any other non-conventional biotech firms that show promise?


Thank you!

Regards,
Andrew M.

Q: The switch to small-mid caps predicted by the 5i team is evident in the past few days. Seems to be in part at the expense of large caps that have been very successful in the past year (largely tech names). Many of us have a diversified portfolio that includes small through large cap holdings. However, is there sufficient uninvested money on the sidelines to support a broad range of gains or do we need to adjust our portfolios, away from AI names, for example, to profit from the rotation? The AI story seems to be in early stages but the market may not be adequately supported or rational in the short term. Do nothing and stay the course or react and trade with the trend?

Q: Hi 5I, my question is more about portfolio construction. I have moved both AMT and CCI to the communications sector of my portfolio to raise the percentage in that sector and to decrease the financial sector or REITS. It it fair to do such things as it does feel like they belong in the communications sector.
Thanks

Q: Tourmaline has been on a slide recently. I am looking for a bounce and will be selling my position and would have thought the excessive heat in the US and parts of Canada would have supported the price of Nat Gas and thus Tou. That hasn’t happened.
Could you provide your opinion on the short term, 3-6 months, price of Nat Gas and Tourmaline’s stock price?

Q: Good evening,

I am relatively new to options and would like to buy either a straddle or a strangle (using options with around 500 days til expiration). Would it be possible to get a list of maybe 5-10 companies for which the implied volatility is significantly lower than the historic volatility? Also what other factors would you look for in a company that you are doing a straddle/strangle on?

Thank you very much,

Aidan

Q: Morning 5i Team,

May I please have your comments on the apparent rotation out of tech stocks over the last few days? Do you see that as a fleeting thing or see that as sustaining?

Cheers,

Q: Hi 5i,
Both are supposed to be economically equivalent, with the A shares having 1/10 the voting power. I would think that the A shares would be more liquid, but that is not the case. The premium for the regular common (non-A) is much larger. I currently have the non-A class; would it make sense to sell and by the A class to capture the premium? Or am I just overthinking it?

TIA
