Q: Ignoring any crypto implications (I am decently invested in that area), do you think liberalizing the financial regulations in the US is likely to produce outsized short to medium term gains in that sector? If so, can you recommend a couple of solid names, a couple of speculative names and a couple of ETFs. Thanks again for the great service.

Q: Value investor with some growth, 78 years old with good pension. I am slightly overweight in financials as above. I now see that I own both BKCC and HMAX. I do not seem to need both. I intend to sell BKCC and buy AW.UN to take advantage of its current situation. Does this sound like a plan or are there pitfalls?
Thank you

Q: Hi 5i
Each of these stocks represent between 2-3 1/2 % of my
portfolio.
Thinking of boosting some up to between 4 1/2 to 5%.
None are at a loss.
Any thoughts of an order to do this?
Thx
