Q: Can BTCC.B be held in a TFSA?
Q: I watched a You Tube clip where a guest stated that SLV, SIL and PSLV were having difficulty obtaining physical silver. Can that be verified?
I would also like to know how much physical silver PSLV holds. Is that information available to the investing public?
Thank you

Q: QBTC share price has gone negative relative to the NAV as you had mentioned - but it is going deeply negative - close to 10% (?) Would there be something more underlying to this than simply competition? Over the past 2 days there has been about an 8% differential as I am writing.
Q: Do you prefer VBAL or XBAl for an RESP? Looks like XBAL has had better performance and has a slightly higher dividend 1.8 vs 2. However XBAL has 515M assest vs VBAL which has 1.4B assets. Does this make XBAL riskier? Which would you choose?
Q: I'm seeing about a 9% discount to NAV currently for QBTC. Does this look like a potential opportunity, or can these discounts drag on for an extended period of time?

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.

I was looking at XDG ,good mer, good div. 3.4%, global holdings 56% U.S. etc. But not sure if it’s a good long term hold?
Would like your opinion on an etf that you like

Q: I've been working with your Portfolio Tracking tool, which is absolutely great, and it's telling me I should hold more bonds. Okay, that's clear enough, but what I'm unclear about is the number of Bonds (ETFs) I should hold. I know it's not really your thing, but is there a recommended bond portfolio you would recommend (for someone about to retire)? Also how important is it to hold international bonds VS only Canadian ETFs? Any advice is truly appreciated. Thanks as always for all your great work!
Q: In his question, Rajiv mentioned that QBTC was at a 6% premium to NAV. While QBTC has sold at a premium (up to 20% in early Jan) on Feb. 18 at end of day, per the 3iQ website, NAV was $74.47 and closing price was $70.49. This is a discount of 5.34%, not a premium. Intraday, the discount appeared to be even higher, perhaps due to selling pressure as people transferred to the Purpose ETF.
Q: Best ETF for each please: China, Russia, India, South America, Europe
Growth preferred for all except Europe looking for income.
Thanks

Q: QBTC dropped 6% today and it still trades at a 6% premium to NAV today. With the advent of BTCC, do you see the premium disappear almost immediately? I was wondering if it made sense to exit QBTC right away while the premium still exists; and invest in BTCC. The capital gains tax hit per unit for me is currently equivalent to $7 or 10% of the unit price today. Capital gains would have to be paid sometime and does it make sense to pay it from the premium that would dwindle over time? Or do you think the premium would still exist and it is better to defer the gains for now?
I also see that 3iQ have an approval for a bitcoin ETF. How would that play into the equation?
