Q: Hi,
I am puzzled by Intact's jump in price today, it isn't earnings related, but seems rather significant. Also, given that they have just issued preferred's at 5.25%, would you rate these as a good addition to a diversified portfolio looking to add a lower volatility holding for income? Thanks for your valued thoughts.

Q: Re: Cryptocurrency in general; Luna in particular
My colleague informed me a bit about the Terra "algorithmic stablecoin platform" with Luna as its default currency, which is pegged to the USD.
Notwithstanding the complexities around crypto, and the thousands of "coins" out there, what do you think about the case for investing in cryptocurrency in general, and Luna in particular, as a small part (no more than 5%) of a long term, buy and hold portfolio.

Q: Long time holding which has gone down steadily since mid July 2021. Any thoughts on the reasons for the decline? Time to take profits and look for something with a better return? Any suggestions as to replacement? (not necessarily in the same sector).
Many thanks.

Q: Hello Peter and team,
I was expecting with higher rates that insurance and banks will do well. Trisura is behaving like a tech stock and the banks and insurance are not doing well despite good numbers. Is this due to uncertainty geo-politically? Thanks very much.

Q: Given the recent developments in Ukrain and financial sactions on Russia there has been a decline in US financials such as Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo. Given uncertertainty around current eents do you think its good to continue to hold, divest and/or purchase more of one or both of these two financial institutions?
Q: Greetings 5i,
I own both of these and have done well. I consider them long term holds. Bruce Flat has stated last quarter he sees 20% growth per year over several years. Apollo has merged with Athene (insurance /annuities etc). My question is, in an inflationary and subsequent rising interest rate environment, will these two companies face significant headwinds? Have we seen the “top” in the asset management class short to medium term? Please explain why or why not. Deduct as needed.
Cheers!

Q: Hi Peter
Sun life has fallen from $73 on Feb 9th to $64.80 today. I understand some of it may be attributed the quarterly results. Is there anything else pulling the stock price down? Does Russia - Ukraine crisis impacting Sun life stock?
Would you be a buyer of SLF at this price?
Thanks
