Q: Would appreciate some guidance re bitcoin, especially the many ads that pop up in email. Is the rags to riches claim legitimate? Do the celebs - Trudeau, Connor MacDavid etc know they are advertising this item? Is bitcoin on the TSX?
Thank you for your insight,

Q: Hi 5i team,
I'm trying to decide between Go Easy (GSY) and ECN Capital, both of which have been on terrific runs. How do you view their current valuations, their prospects for further growth and risks involved with each and how will rising interest rates affect their businesses? Finally, which would prefer currently if you had to make a choice?
Thanks for your great service.
Bob

Q: If I were to buy a stock today for income and growth , would it be Fiera ?…( NO ! ).
The Schmo of the 5i Income Fund @ 26% down, and stuck in a sideways purgatory. I realize it pays 8% , but we bought high ( you usually warn us against high dividends ) . Are we just parking money here, or do you think we should take a loss and move on ? Thanks .

Q: I perceive a change in Bitcoin/crypto sentiment - El Salvador, other LatAm countries, now India is changing it's tune......
Rather than own cryptocurrencies outright, I'm looking for more torque on their appreciation. Would you consider either of these companies to be a good way to leverage any appreciation of the underlying cryptocurrencies? I understand this is a double-edge sword.

Q: Good Morning,
I am still holding the old NML from years ago when they were involved with the iron ore deposit and Tata Steel in Eastern Canada. I went through the RTO and consolidation and now hold Abaxx Technologies (ABXX). Any thoughts on this company? I see that it's a financial services software company. Is this worth holding?
Thank-you

Q: Hi 5i
Currently holding BMO for last 3yrs and see that its share price appears to have increased about the same as CM but appears to have increased quite a bit compared to the others, in last 6 months, TD, BNS and RY.
Why do you think this is happening and Is this something that would be cause for concern? Would you continue to hold or lighten up? My Position size 4%
Even though its a bank, I begin to get uneasy when share prices seems to be out of step with peers.


Thx
jim

Q: You have mentioned several times that it is expected that later this year the big banks will be given a free hand in allowing dividend increases, is there any analyst guidance/guesses out there on what sort of increase is 'expected' from the banks over the next 1-2 years (and may be baked in to the share price at the moment). Or is it expected to be more a case of just going back to a more normal cycle of increases rather than catching up.
