Q: I think that our move toward electric as well as autonomous cars might happen a lot sooner than we ever expected. Betting on one stock is probably not the way to go ( although Tesla has done well). I have been looking for an ETF and found DRIV which trades on the Nasdaq. Would you consider this a good choice for some exposure to the sector or is there another that would be better.

Q: Can you please comment on the Emerge ARK ETFs? I love that the ARK ETFs are available in $C but am concerned that 1) the listings are on the NEO, 2) their traded volume is quite low and 3) their return is already a few percent behind that of the real (US) ARK ETFs. Thanks.

Q: Hi

The Globe and Mail mentioned potential Cloud investment ideas today. CLOU-Q, WCLD-Q, SKYY and a new Canadian name DATA-T. I currently own Microsoft which gives me some Cloud exposure. I am wondering what your opinion would be to invest in this space?

Q: Contemplating selling VGT and buying ARKK. The only thing stopping me is ARKK's 10% investment in TESLA. Would you stay away from ARKK given its strong bet on this one stock with a history of volatility? Additionally, how do you see TESLA's price (and therefore ARKK's) being impacted by TESLA's addition later this month to the S&P500? Thank you.
