Q: Bitcoin
I am just exploring investing in Bitcoin and moving up the learning curve regarding Bitcoin Wallets, Companies, ETF's etc. This is for a small "1/2%" position to aid my overall understanding and determine if this is something of interest. My initial thoughts after doing some reading that this is a risky "commodity" to enter into.
1: Currently, I only have a rudimentary feel for potential gains and / or pitfalls. I have heard promoters say it could potentially be $300,000+ in a few years, perhaps $50,000 within a year. Do you have any comments you could offer on Risk/Reward aspects?
2: What is the best way to invest in Bitcoin? WealthSimple has trading in Bitcoin on their App (Similar to PayPal I assume, which we cannot access her in Canada.), there are several "Bitcoin Wallets" out there, ETF's as well. I hear fees to make transactions are not always transparent. WealthSimple trades for Bitcoin are funded by the spread quoted.
The bottom line is, for very small speculative positions, I am unsure if Bitcoin should be a consideration or if I should stick to small growth stocks? What advice would you offer me?

Thanks

Q: Both now and when we emerge from Covid 19 online sales are improving... People who in the past who did not use it are now saying " Sure beats going out shopping " . It also appears that China may be a leader in the economic recovery. Which brings me to AMZN and JD.COM .... JD.COM seems like it is trading at the better value and may have more growth.... On the other hand when I leave my apartment today at least two doors in the hallway will have AMZN packages leaning against them ..... Which would 5I's preference between the two be and why ? ..... And 5I's view of JD.COM's prospects would be interesting ?......

Q: Hello,
in your response to Robert's question on December 14th about uranium names to play, you mentioned DML and EFR but not NXE. I know your general feeling towards the sector and in your last comment about NXE in February of this year you stated that it is pre-revenue and will probably be next year as well.

I do note that 3 analysts consider it a moderate buy, and one a strong buy. It's share price has been trending up since the pandemic sell-off earlier this year, and it has caught the updraft that has moved most uranium stocks over the last month or so.

I'd appreciate hearing any updated views you may have on this one.

Marc.

Q: Hello 5i,
A very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all at 5i and fellow members!! Here's hoping for a great 2021!!
My question is pertaining to Goeasy which is at 3.93% of my portfolio with a very significant gain to my TFSA. As a retired, dividend-oriented Balanced investor with an otherwise pretty well-balanced portfolio, my question is: how high should I let it run before pruning? I have sold and re-bought in the past but prior to this most recent run-up was thinking of adding. In other words, what kind of weighting would you assign to GSY based on the foregoing?
And, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at 5i for all of the work they do for the members - 5i Research can be extremely proud of the work they do on our behalf and should know how much it is valued and appreciated!!!
All the best!
Cheers,
Mike
