Q: Hi 5i

Given that FSZ valued its own company share price at $9.80 ($34.89/3.56), why should investors be paying a premium to buy this stock today ($10.20 after decline)?

With new CEO in place now, what is to say he doesn't decide to cut the dividend that we all seem to be hanging around for these days?

Dave

Q: I read recently that there has been a change in senior management at Fiera, with Mr Desjardins the former CEO moving to Executive Chairman. I believe that he is 77 years old, the controlling shareholder and founder of the company. I had thought that he would be selling the company due to his age. but now I am wondering whether it has become a value trap. What do you think?

Q: Stan Wong on Market Call had EQRR as a top pick. I've been looking for an ETF like this. It looks like the MER is .35%. What do you think of this or do you have a different one that you could recommend for outperformance with rising interest rates? Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i
I currently hold no digital currency assets in my portfolio - from what I understand GLXY holds both bitcoin and etherium coins and provides financing to businesses in the digital currency space. Founder and small % shareholder speaks about growth in the sector and the bitocoin currency has bottomed. Your thoughts on buying todays' assets and the potential future for this business. Share price has been creamed ~ 40% and I am wondering if this is a starting point to start build a position and use GLXY as a diversified way to play the currency and growth in the industry via the merchant banking side of the business. Your wisdom (if there is such things when you roll the dice here) please ........ Thanks

Q: EHTH was a darling at one time within a loved sector. Others, for example GOCO and SLQT along with EHTH have been crushed. Head scratching when you look at Total Addressable Market(assuming monetization opportunity), Aging Demographics, Insider Buying, buy action by Starboard Hedge Fund etc... Yet these sectors are runaway elevators to the basement. When does the action make sense. Is this a long term play with future catalysts?
