Q: Can you explain how National Bank is offering commission-free trades?
Will the bank earn its money from market making?
Or are they lending out the securities in some way?

Q: I was wondering if you knew much about FedNow. Online it says it will not replace apps like Venmo or Cash App, as it will depend on if your bank and the bank you are sending to opt in. But why would a bank not opt in? It sounds like many banks are already gearing up to implement it this summer. Once fully implemented at US banks, will it be similar to Canadian e-transfers? Why would customers not use it for P2P payments, such as splitting a tab, if it is free, just we we do here in Canada? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i, FTCO
Recent big drop in price of Fortitude Gold Corp. which as partially recovered. I could only find this article on Seeking Alpha, suggesting there will be a large drop in gold reduction. Can you offer an opinion on whether I should keep this or sell it. It represents small, less than 1/2 of a percent of my portfolio. If odds are strong against a reasonable recovery with improved gold prices, I would prefer to sell and move on.
Thank you
