Q: I have been lucky with MS which I accumulated during periods when many analysts seemed to misunderstand the poor thing. MS has become a full position. However when reviewing some analyses following MS’ recent results, opinions read as if they were written by bipolar CFAs. Views seem too divided for me to base a decision on. Is it time for me to trim MS —or best to ignore the noise and keep holding. Please do give your reasoning and I would appreciate very much your updating your response to my September 2, 2020 question on MS.

Q: Hi 5i
Bitcoin is a real head scratcher for me. I can't see why anyone would use it as a form of payment considering stories like "that pizza purchase years ago is the equivalent of millions in todays value" or "I have a couple of password tries left before my disk is encrypted and my millions are lost forever" ... so there's goes the asset / store of value argument. Maybe I'm getting old but I just don't get it (having said that I bought a small amount of ether and ripple as a learning exercise a few years back and still hold it ).
In any case, the real question is with more etfs/companies piling into bitcoin related investment, if it were to grow to such an extent as to be bubble territory and subsequently experience a severe pop, would it have any side effects on the rest of the market or specific sectors of the market do you think? i.e. would it ever be anything to be concerned about ?
Thanks
Mike

Q: Why are they unable to do buybacks and increase dividends and what is the rationale for this? Do yo expect dividend increases when the BOC changes the rules? Why does the BOC seem to think they know better than the Fed who have opened up bank restriction?
Q: Gsy has had a nice run and at 52 week high but the market cap is still only $1 Billion. From a valuation have the underlying revenue / earnings kept up to share price appreciation and do you see this as a good growth story over the next 3-5 years

Q: Is the financial sector good value at these levels ?
I'm a little concerned investing new money in the banks as rising prices have brought valuations to pre-pandemic levels. Insurance companies not yet there, may be the better value.
Thank-you.
