I have noticed lots of 5i Q & A re miners, ETFs and other related companies (VB as an example) and investing in Crypto. I have also noticed more and more discussions taking place regarding portfolio managers starting to take more notice of Crypto Currency and, that it could eventually be a part of every Managers Portfolio in the coming years. Even going as far as to say it could act quite well as a hedge similar to how gold performs during a market down turn.
My question... Has 5i ever or, are you presently in the process of discussing Crypto Currencies and/or related companies (such as VB) with the intent of adding it to the 5i Growth Portfolio? Or are you still thinking this direction far to risky? Do you think there is any foundation in people taking about every Portfolio Manager eventually making Bitcoin (or the like) a part of their portfolios?
Q: Could you comment on AND's quarter and how they fared with analysts expectations ? Also your assessment of the conference call and anything mentioned about future growth or obstacles foreseen ? The numbers looked good to me but Mr Market doesn't seem to be excited ....Which makes me wonder if there was something in the outlook in the conference call that made investors yawn ......I took a half position before the quarterly results and am considering filling it out now . Would you endorse this ? Thanks for your terrific service .....
Q: ITP reported today and disappointed with shares down about 10% right now. What are your thoughts on the results and whether ITP is worth continuing to hold or whether there are other better opportunities and what those may be.
Q: Can you comment on the tax considerations of the ECN special dividend in a non-registered account? I am up almost $2 currently but will receive a $7.50 dividend. From a tax perspective I feel I am better to sell now and pay the capital gains on the $2 instead of taxes on the $7.50 dividend . I can always buy it back later. Assume I am in a medium to high marginal tax bracket.
Thanks
Q: Thoughts on CELH earnings? Would you be buyers at this price? How does the 3-5 year future look for growth, could this be a potential acquisition target for Coke or other.
I am considering selling what is left of My ROKU & LSPD holdings to buy NVDA with the proceeds. ROKU & LSPD are each just less than 1 % of my stock portfolio). Do you think this would be a reasonable trade ?
Q: I have a small position in a British company (Avon Protection) which supplies body armour to the US military. The shares crashed over 40% today on a profit warning. Useful to have a second opinion from some pros. Buy sell or hold?
