Q: Looking for your thoughts on this company as I see only one recent question. Appears to be thinly traded. Would this be due to insider ownership? Would the ownership holding fairly tight be a positive sign? Time to start chipping away? Would a change of the year end have any influence in the short term moving forward? I see they mention this alines with other parent companies

Q: Hi 5i, I can see all these institutions have a all-in-one ETFs, for an RRSP account, is it the way to go for someone who is looking for stability.
Place 45% BAL, 45% GRO, and 10% Stocks (LSPD, SHOP, GOOGL, AMZN, etc).
Thank you!

Q: I recently got a notice saying this ETF was changing it's name and underlying index. The index it will follow after March 24 is the "MSCI Global Environmental Select Index".

I was able to find data on the "MSCI Global Environmental Index" but not the".... Select Index" I was hoping maybe your sources have this information. I'd like to know what the holding are.

Cheers

Q: With gold lagging as bitcoin continues towards the heavens, with someone with the common sense of a Josh Brown as well as the mavens of Berkshire selling their Barrick, with a spike in long term rates and a weaker US dollar, and finally with a potential breakdown in gold being close according to technical analysts I've heard, what is your opinion on 1. where the price of gold might be headed over the rest of 2021 and 2. whether the strength of its hedging power may be waning and 3. whether your opinion that bitcoin needn't be part of a portfolio has changed and 4. whether perhaps a move into a combination of silver and some crypto might provide a better portfolio hedge at this time versus gold. Thanks as always for your thoughts - Ken

Q: Hi Peter,

Please recommend a basket of small caps (7-8 names) that are looking attractive today. Long term growth, medium to high risk. Would you initiate new positions in any of the noted names?

Thanks in advance.

Q: I had been waiting for awhile for xbc to correct before taking a position. Got tired of waiting and watching it continually climb. Took a small position at $10.60ish and of course now I am seeing the correction I was waiting for. I added a bit more at $9.03 but now it’s down almost another $1.00.
Is there any news accounting for this?
Is your longer term thesis still positive?
Would now be a good time to add a bit more or is there more downside to come?
My overall position is still quite small relative to my whole portfolio and its in my TFSA and I don’t need the money.

Q: Unity software was recommended earlier this year as one of your top US growth stocks. It is now down over 40% from it’s high. I’ve been watching but never bought. Would you still rate this as one of your top US growth stocks. And with the recent pull back what would be your top US growth stocks currently.
I’m a long term member and thank you for getting me into numerous growth stocks since 2014 which I would never have bought and which provided handsome returns. So many thanks for being there for us little guys.
