Q: I see you have removed FSV from your recommended list - if one wanted growth and small dividend would you replace with BYD? Are they both play on the consumer across North America? Does one have a more reliable rev model?

Q: If I were to reduce my overweight positions in a few FANGMA stocks and instead use Evolve’s TECH.U ETF for more balanced long-term tech exposure, how would you assess the trade-off? Other than the MER, are there any concerns with TECH.U—such as index methodology, rebalance schedule, liquidity, tracking error, or concentration—that should factor into the decision?”

Q: Hi,
We own no crypto stocks. I feel that we should have some exposure in our portfolio. Now there has been a bit of a pull back… I cannot decide on what combination of stocks or ETF’s (cnd or US$) to buy in this sector for total portfolio weight of approximately 4-5%. What 3 combination of companies and/or ETF would you buy for a balanced exposure to the sector.
Thanks for all that you do!

Q: Further to my last question about Tether, the Financial Times is also reporting the following:

Crypto-hoarding companies are ditching their holdings in a bid to prop up their sinking share prices, as the craze for “digital asset treasury” businesses unravels in the face of a $1tn cryptocurrency rout.

Can you please provide some context around what’s going on in the crypto space lately and any thoughts about where it goes to from here?

Many thanks.

Q: What are your thoughts on the recent S&P Global Ratings downgrade on Tether? As reported in the Financial Times:

The rating agency warned that the company has “limited transparency on reserve management and risk appetite, lack of a robust regulatory framework [and] no asset segregation to protect against the issuer’s insolvency”.

Thank you.
