Q: I read this morning in the G&M there’s a push by consumer advocates for government legislation to be broadened to include restricting highly profitable credit insurance charges by alternative lenders. To what extent is even the threat of this a headwind for Goeasy and Propel? As as second question, should this restriction find its way into legislation, to what extent would this impact Goeasy and Propel?

Q: Hello 5i
I remember you offering articles on understanding bitcoin. At the time I wasn't interested but am now. But, although I have searched, I cannot find them on the site. I wonder if you could re direct me on that. I think you have also mentionned Biance. Are there some articles on that, as well?
thanks for your help and have a good holiday

Q: Just a follow up on POW. My understanding is that POW owns a majority stake in Wealthsimple. If this is accurate, does this move the needle for POW or is wealthsimple too small? Thank-you
Q: I know nothing about bitcoin but I understand that MSTR stock holds a lot of bitcoin. Why is the stock performance of MSTR so much better than IBIT bitcoin ETF. Shouldn't they be reasonably close and correlated? What is MSTR's fundamental business and how do they make money?

Q: I’m trying to decide which company to add money to for my TFSA. GoEasy has had quite the pullback from being over $200 not too long ago, and is cheaper than Propel. Can you make a case for which one you would choose? Thank you
Q: CM reported a low provision for estimated loan loss, while BMO reported a higher provision. My question is do all Canadian banks follow the same criteria to determine if a specific loan is bad? If not the same criteria, the amount of provision is quite subjective.
Q: Greetings:
I have held the above in my RRIF for quite some time, and under water. The interest is adequate, but eaten up badly by the loss of capital. I thought that as interest came down it would benefit the MIC'S, but not so!! What is the outlook for this one? Under what conditions would it improve? Is it just poor management?
Thanks, BEN.

Q: Greetings 5i,
Ive held APO for several years now and have enjoyed a nice run. However the position is becoming overweight and I may begin trimming. Today I read that APO will be added to the SP500 Dec23 and as far as I understand, when companies are added to indexes they experience an increase in valuation as being listed on Indexes require ownership by ETFs that reflect that INDEX. In this case would you wait and capture some upside with this listing or trim now?
Cheers!
