Q: The 3 BN, BLK and BRK.B are the largest financial holdings in my portfolio. I would like to consolidate 3 holdings into 2 only. Which 2 do you recommend? I have 20+ years horizon and have high risk tolerance. Priority is growth, no need for div for 20+ years.

Q: Hello 5i.
I am currently way overweight in all 6 Canadian banks and I would like to trim to 2 or at most 3. Capital gain is more important than income. How would you rank the banks for a 5 year time horizon? What would you suggest as a total portfolio weight for Canadian banks, not including other financials?
Many thanks for your great service.

Q: You discussed micro-lending by saying

"Micro lending is fine for those that want to provide some capital for a social impact. But we would be very cautious seeing it as an 'investment' altnerative."

I could not agree more and I have found a lot of satisfaction lending through KIVA at https://www.kiva.org/

Q: Hi, What is your current opinion on EQB ? Stock had a strong run, but if I remember correctly, their most recent results were not and encouraging and stock took a hit. Do you think, the issues with the last quarter were only temporary and EQB is buyable today for a new position at current levels ? EQB was recommended by at least a couple of brokerages, recently ( Including CIBC), as the Best Growth story among Canadian banks. Do you agree ?

Thank You

Q: Thank you for the great explanation on bitcoin and the upcoming halving a few days ago. I have owned a few bitcoin mining companies for sometime, definitely been going up and down over the years but recently they have gone below 30%. Would I be better off selling the mining companies and putting my money into the bitcoin ETFs?

Q: I listened to positivitilending on MoneyShow Canada yesterday and seems that it would be a good diversifier for my portfolio. What do you know about micro lending? Is this a legitimate company? What are your thoughts?
