Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I owned these brokers for what I thought was a defensive play in my RRSP. They've both been hit this week on AI disruption. I'm not one to sell while under water, however it seems the barriers to entry are somewhat eroded quickly in the broker business if AI companies can offer direct to consumer insurance quotes and pass on commission savings to the customer etc.... I know it's very early innings and that this is hard to predict with any certainty, however do you see much more downside with these two stocks? Not sure I want to experience another 20-30% leg down here.

Q: Both of these stocks seem to have performed in a fairly stable manner and have yields at current prices in the range of 11-12.5%. Can you recommend either or both as at least 3-5 year holds?

Thanks again

Q: I have read an opinion that Bitcoin may have run its course and I assume this would apply to other crypto currencies as well. Could you comment on how widespread this feeling is. Do you feel that there is a case to be made for the sector or might it be best just to exit and move on to something else.
Also how many crypto currencies are there - my knowledge in this area is weak.
My only holding in this sector is Galaxy (as far as I know). Does it have other components to its business that might carry it through if the crypto sector continued to falter or even collapse.
Thanks.

Q: What are your favourite Canadian listed Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs ? Is there a good Canadian listed ETF that covers crypto companies (underlying companies can of course be U.S.) ? I do not want to buy on U.S. exchanges.

Q: Your response to Denise’s inquiry on crypto was very unsettling to me,

I quote a snippet of your answer: ‘if crypto recovers’

Can you please expand on this? What is your outlooks on bitcoin and ether? Do you estimate there is a market probability that we are entering a long winter, or do you see this as portending something worse; a total value destruction?

Please be as sobering as you feel it necessary.

Thank you.
