Q: Hi 5i team,
I just received notice from PFB that the board wants to sell out to
PFB Bidco for 24.10/share, a small premium to the current trading price. Am I correct in seeing this as just a way of taking the company private? Would that indicate that the trading price has been too low in their opinion? Any general lessons I should learn from this? (I'm in a profit position, but I was holding under the belief that there was still lots of upside.)
As usual, thank you so much, 5i, for your investment help and opinions.

Thanks

Q: What do you think of this for an RESP for two kids aged 3 and 5:

Q: One of the aspects of GE's businesses that has always appealed to me is the research arm, including additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence and biology/applied physics.

Since the company is going to split into 3 separate entities, do you know which of the new companies will contain the research arm, or will it simply be a component spread across all three?

Thank you.

Q: I have $10,000 that I would like to put towards some kind of crypto exposure. I'm just not sure how to play it, but I'll bet my trusty friend Peter will know! I'm open to any ideas including buying Bitcoin itself, or a miner, anything really. ETF's are a little boring but maybe with this amount of money that's all I can do? Perhaps split the money into 2 ideas? I'm very comfortable with risk. What would you do and thank you so much for helping with everything.
