Q: Ryan; I assume you are minding the shop while Peter does his ride so I am addressing this to you. Peter is about $6,000. short of his goal of $75,000.00 if I read the info correctly. I am asking everyone- or just 100- subscribers to ask themselves if they have made at least $60.00 from using this site? Now if 100 of us contributed that $60.00- fully tax deductible next spring- Peter would be at his goal. That's all folks. Rod

Q: Hi Peter & Ryan,
Good luck to Peter on his ride; I have just made a donation both for the cause itself and to support Peter as a way of saying "thanks" for 5i. The weather here in the Lower Mainland is improving and it looks like the sun will be shining for at least the first leg of Peter's ride.
Best of luck and safe journey!!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Not a question,just a "thank you" to Peter for developing '5i'. The education and recommendations are such a great help in hacking through the investment jungle. As a concrete thank you, I have just donated a second time to your Charity Ride and wish you all the best on your Canadian journey.

Q: Peter, can I get your opinions on PTS and AIM. Both have been beaten down for some reasons. For PTS it seems it's due to a report from Seeking Alpha valuing the company at 5.50. Which one you prefer most? Thanks in advance and all the best for the ride.
