Q: This is about Value play through ETFs.
Two questions. Assuming that Value as opposed to growth is going to get traction in 2021.

1. Small cap value or Large cap value going forward.

2. Which ones from my picks above you think are worth considering. Any favourites?

Thanks

Q: Hello team,

What is really behind CELH growth since you mentioned it back in October?

Is this a post-covid play when gyms will be open again for people to exercise and enjoy their energy drinks together?

Would you please expand on your liking of this company, its fundamentals, and its growth potential. Do you think it makes a good takeover candidate? Will you just buy at current prices or do think there may be a meaningful pull back along the way?

Thank you and Happy 2021!

Q: I am 60 years old, and I don't need the upcoming major problems that the world central banks are creating lead to the destruction of my retirement. So I am diversifying.

I currently hold the traditional Canadian dividend paying stocks, growing exposure to Emerging market ETF's, Gold bullion / ETF, commodity stocks, Infrastructure / Renewable Energy via the Brookfields, a few big name US stocks, and now entering the crypto world.

Here is my question: I read a recent article on Cathie Wood - CEO of Ark Invest. She claims:

"Seeded during the tech and telecom bubble more than 20 years ago, the five main platforms of innovation that we think will transform the global economy are: DNA sequencing, robotics, energy storage, artificial intelligence, and blockchain technology. These involve 14 technologies including gene therapies, 3D printing, cloud computing, big data analytics, and cryptocurrencies."

I already have a pension from a Robotics-related company, and I am investing in crypto. Do you have any recommendations for anything else from what she mentioned, in which you would share her outlook? I have both CAD and USD accounts. Could be company or ETF - big or small.

Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,
I have been following nano dimension (nndm) with great interest but it is not currently listed on your site. It is an Israeli company involved with 3D printing electronic circuit boards. Its share price has appreciated quite rapidly in the last several months Do you have an opinion one way or the other? Is this a company you would have any interest in at current price for 3- 5 year hold? Why or why not?
thx
Jim
