Q: Hi there,

What is the best way to invest in BTC and ETH, without directly investing in the crypto itself? Please suggest US and Canadian funds if possible.

Thanks!

Q: Hi, looking to adjust my financial sector exposure, currently holding SLF, V, JPM, GSY, and BAM. I hold ZBK, JPM and GSY at a low weighting in my portfolio and could top up any of these right now. Thinking of selling ZBK and buying more JPM for US financial exposure. Currently don't own any Cdn banks, except through broad Cdn ETF. Should I add more to my JPM position or buy one of the Cdn banks (was thinking of TD) or add to GSY? I see you added to BNS, quickly, why do you favor BNS over TD? Looking for growth 10+ yrs. Thanks!

Q: Hi,
Which do you prefer, for a holding company that is diversified and kind of gives you a mini-mutual fund effect, without the ongoing cost of an MER. ( I already own BAM.A).
FFH provides a dividend. Do you think BRK.B will ever initiate a dividend? Thx.

Q: Canadian banks have had a strong run in the past month. Do you expect them to give some of this back in the near term?

Q: I must live under a rock. I had no idea regarding the OSFI restrictions on banks. Did this happen during the previous financial crises as well? How common is it for OSFI to feel it needs to act to help preserve the banks' financial strength?

Q: I invest in companies that have a track record of growing dividends. A chunk of my portfolio is invested in Canadian bank stocks which up to this year had a nice record of increasing dividends. In 2020 TD and RY did increase early in the year - but Covid brought a halt to increases from BMO and BNS. When do you think the banks will begin to think about increases - is 2021 too early and does OFSI (or whatever they are called) have a say and will they disallow.
Thanks

Q: I am an income investor who has held MFC for years. Just breaking even on price but reasonable return on dividend.

Thinking of switching to either GWO or SLF. GWO has a higher dividend but SLF may have more growth potential.

For safe sustainable retirement income what would be your preference or do you have other suggestions. I recognize that a combination of growth and income can be just as good.

Thanks,

Q: Can you please explain what Bitcoin and the crypto industry is all about. How can Bitcoin be worth $20,000.00????

Will this move to Digital currency make our portfolios as we know them now worthless?

Any insight you can provide on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
