Q: My question relates to Tesla's auto division and indirectly, Toyota :
My son predicts that most major auto manufacturers will go bankrupt or become mere shadows of their former selves by the end of the decade. He cites Tesla's manufacturing innovations as the cause (gigacasting, vertical integration, constant design iteration) as a few of the unassailable competitive advantages that no other manufacturer is even trying to copy at this time.
How does a debt-laden, auto company like Toyota expect to be able to be competitive in the EV marketplace and is this a good time as any to move into TSLA stock?

Q: Hello, obviously the markets did not like Q3 results for VIQ Solutions, what are your thoughts on this company, do you think this was possibly a market over reaction? Interesting that an insider was buying in September 100,000 shares at $1. What do you think the main issues are here causing the decline?

Q: Hi 5i,

I currently own the above noted renewable energy utilities. I am thinking of selling AQN. If I did so, (and I would like to keep it in renewables) would you recommend putting the proceeds towards one of the above or something like NPI or possibly a renewable energy ETF. Could you recommend 1 to 3 ETFs?

Thanks!!

Q: Hi,
I'm interested in these US REITs. Can you rank them best to worst for a longterm holder, and comment on the best account type to hold them in?
I know you've said that in general REITs are best held in a TFSA, but are there any exceptions to that guideline among them.
Thanks

Q: Thoughts on this company's metrics if one's portfolio is low in consumer staples. Buy, sell, or hold? If you don't like which consumer staples companies in the US are better and is it a bad time to add knowing they have done well in a bad market. Thinking people may sell and rotate into tech. Thank you!
