Q: Please help me understand:
TD has announced a) share repurchase intention for 2022, and b) the Jan 31 2022 dividend DRIP shares will be issued from treasury.
These two would seem to be at odds with each other (despite the, presumably, much smaller quantum of the DRIP treasury shares relative to the repurchase plan)?

Q: Hello,

The last question for SLQT dates back to August when it was trading just below $14. It's now trading around $9 and was recently near a 52-week low.

I believe you were favourably disposed to this company earlier this year.

I'm interested in hearing your current take on the company and whether it is now in your informed opinion more of a buy.

Thanks!

Marc.

Q: I have $10,000 that I would like to put towards some kind of crypto exposure. I'm just not sure how to play it, but I'll bet my trusty friend Peter will know! I'm open to any ideas including buying Bitcoin itself, or a miner, anything really. ETF's are a little boring but maybe with this amount of money that's all I can do? Perhaps split the money into 2 ideas? I'm very comfortable with risk. What would you do and thank you so much for helping with everything.

Q: It would appear circumstance for the Canadian Banks looks good for their share prices to rise. If their price increases are not due to speculations or a bubble forming but strong fundamentals, could I get your opinion of how the Canadian banks may deal with their rising share prices? Would they just let them rise until circumstances change, or would they consider splitting shares?
