Q: Good Morning.
I presently have UPST in a TFSA account. It is down significantly without tax loss sale possible. I have read that the new Apple payment system is disruptive to Block (Square) and to Affirm. What is your opinion on this and would UPST be significantly affected? Is it wise to continue to hold UPST or should I consider moving some funds into AAPL? Thank you.

Q: I'm down >50% on LMND in my TFSA account, and while the loss itself doesn't alarm me, I'm doubting the future potential of their business model - especially with rising rates. I'm considering selling this position and re-investing into another company that I'm also down significantly on (RDFN) but that I have higher conviction in. Would love to hear your thoughts? Thank you.

But from what I can tell ,young people today could not care less about life insurance . Could I get your out look for these insurance companies in Canada and what could have the best upside , if any due to interest rates continuing to rise. . Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter
The IPO for WISE (previously TRANSFERWISE) was July 2021 and the share price has dropped from a high of GBP 11.4 to now about GBP 3.4. I realize you don't cover European or English stocks but I'd be grateful if you could provide some basic data, such as amount of debt, free cash flow, P/E etc. Is this a stock which you would hold over the long term? As there is a lot of competition in the fintec sector, is there any news of duress experienced by WISE, or a likelihood of the firm going bankrupt?
Thanks a lot.
