Q: My holding of Paypal is at about -40%. I’ve had it since 2020. At this point, would you recommend disposing it and add to other Fintech names ex: Google, MA, Meli?
Looking at the charts of PayPal vs MA vs Google vs Meli, I cannot help but regretting buying into PayPal. And it looks like PayPal is currently having nothing going for it.

Q: Is Cix still ok to keep money for investing. I see they are offering $17.50 a share. Is this to pay off the big investment they borrowed from. last year for their expansion. How would them rate them. The stock was $28.00 a few year ago. Or perhaps they want to help TIXT. Will their dividend still be safe in a lower rate inviroment.Tks 5I
Q: Can you provide a current outlook for BN?
Q: 5i and I agree on the importance of good management teams (think CSU and ATD). I'm inclined to pin the giant mess TD has created with money laundering woes in the US on its management team and most especially the CEO and Board. Do you agree and if so, would it not be prudent to stick with other banks until we see changes in the upper ranks of TD?
Q: If not asked may I have your comments are T D earnings please. Do you have any idea how long it will take to see the end of all their problems!
Q: Has your outlook on TD changed following the latest results and announcement of such a large provision.
Q: Regarding Savalai's question on August 22, 2024 about insurance for grandkids.
Many years ago (25-30) my parents purchased permanent life insurance for all their grandkids and after that time the cash value, unfortunately, was negligible in comparison to what an index ETF tracking the general market would have been.
Of course there are many variables to consider and perhaps the insurance purchased by my parents was an inferior product, but they often wished they had purchased blue-chip stocks (ETFs were not widely available then) instead.
Just letting you know my experience.
Thanks.
