Q: For Crypto exposure, I have a 1.5% position in COIN, a 2% position in GLXY (up 25%) and a .5% position in MSTE. I want to invest another 1.5% by either bringing COIN to 3% or investing in HOOD at 1.5%. Would you add to COIN or diversify into HOOD? Would you be comfortable with 5.5% total in diversified Crypto holdings?

Q: Dear 5i
CRCL seems interesting and seems to be a somewhat more stable investment then investing in bitcoin directly . Do you see this stock as a viable option in the crypto area or is it a little to soon to tell . My one other concern is that the price of this stock goes down when interest rates go down and currently i think the rates are more likely to go down than go up . What are your thoughts on this one and would galaxy or coin be better choices in the crypto space ?
Thanks
Bill C

Q: I invested with Bitf since last two years. very bad performing stock so far, and Institutional investors and RIOT are selling their shares as well. Not sure what going on inside the company? I am worrying for the Total lose, I don’t mind to wait for the next two to three years more. Can you please share your thought on this? normally I invest the three-to-five-year timeframe. Is it worth it to stay with this Bitf next two year more OR take a lose and move it with some other miner stock? Can suggest some CAN or US bitcoin related stock?

Q: Any thoughts on etoro? I know it is still relatively new and you like for a few quarters before investing in new IPOs. HOOD has done really well, could etoro follow in the same path? Would you be a buyer currently in hood or etoro? Also, do you like NBIS after this recent jump in price? Thanks!

Q: seeing that you own some crypto I'm thinking I may get my toes wet, so to speak. At current prices, which one ETF would you favor of the above?
Also, I have more Canadian money available than US, is there disadvantage to IBIT.CA?
Should these be purchased in a Cash account, self directed RSP or TFSA?
Deduct as many questions as you need. I'll never get through these credits!

Q: I enjoy all the questions that pass through. I’m not into day trading but certainly add a couple swing trades in as a boost as well as selling calls.

With the question you answered about Canadian companies for day trading would you please provide a few US names that would fit your criteria.

Thank you.

Q: I'm looking to add some bitcoin exposure to my portfolio. What is the best way to do this? I know of MSTR and FBTC but I saw in a previous question that you prefer the bitcoin etf or whatnot to be in usd. Can you recommend some stocks or ETF that would give this exposure without having to purchase it directly?

Q: I want to put some money into an RESP for our newborn granddaughter. I will add some more stable growth stocks over time, but I want to start with 1 AI stock or ETF and 1 crypto stock or ETF, as the base.
These will be the buy and forget, holdings in the RESP
Can you recommend a couple US/CDN stocks and etfs in both categories, and your thoughts on whether US or Cdn currency is the better option. For a long-term hold like this, am I better to use stocks or ETFs, as the base?

Q: I need to consolidate some of the riskier stocks in my portfolio. Of the following on my chopping block, could you rate which would be keepers for the long term (with a hands-on approach) - best to worst - KSI, GLXY, AVGO, AXON, IESC, ROAD, COIN, APP, CRWD? Also, I hold both GSY and PRL. Is it reasonable to let one go in a consolidation? If so, which one - thanks!
