Q: I know that Square, Paypal and MicroStrategy have Bitcoin on their balance sheets. How much of an influence do you think this is having on each companies share price? What is the per share value of the Bitcoin that each company holds? Thank you.

Q: I have an unregistered cdn div payer account, which has about 20% financial sector weighting. This is probably a little high for this account, but overall portfolio diversification including other accounts levels this out much better.

I'm happy to stay with 20% financial in this account, and this is currently achieved via equal weights of BNS, RY and SLF. In pursuit of higher yield, I am considering replacing RY (4%) with FSZ (7%) and looking for your comments on this idea.

Account objective is retirement income for next 10 to 20.

Thanks,

Jim

Q: In the 5i blog of Feb.9 detailing quality stocks the lifecos are listed. It seems to me that IAG stands out as having better past growth & fwd p/e numbers than SLF with way less debt. Has 5i changed its tepid opinion on IAG, particularly considering the stock price is still well off its 2020 peak compared to SLF's though IAG has been on a bit of a tear lately?

Q: What is your opinion of Netcoins? I wasted some $ with Coinbase, but they are awful. Cannot see a Dashboard with holdings, transaction, etc. and no one replies by Chat, Email or Cell.
Thanks! Austin

Q: I took a position in BLOK:US on the recommendation of a contributor to your Canadian Money Magaine (BTW I give each of my three children a subscription for Christmas becasue it is simply the best financial advice product anywhere). The thesis of the nvestment was to participate in AI for the future. I put it away as a long term investment. BLOK has been showing extraordianary growth lately. I'm not sure why? Is there a specific reason? Is it a long term hold or a sell opportunity? David
