Q: Hello Peter,

With the bitcoin halving, the operating profits decrease for the miners but the price of the product increases. As well, the asset value of their inventory increases.
Smaller miners get squeezed out? Sell the smaller miners or wait for them to be bought out at a premium ?
In what proportion would you invest in bitcoin etf and bitcoin miners?
Would you suggest holding a full position in bitcoin and the miners?
Too many questions but I look forward to you helping me sort it out.
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Wednesday morning cibc investors Edge was plagued with issues. The app was spitting out system errors.

Any one else have issues? Sadly on one of my trades I chose the wrong currency with all the errors on my screen, hard to keep everything straight.

Called cibc. They verified system issues, though they had less sympathy for my mistake while their system was coughing up furballs.

Are their any online brokers that are bullet proof ?

Q: Hi Team,
I am looking to invest in Europe for the first time in a few years. I have held XEU and FEZ. The biggest difference between them seems to be that FEZ includes only 50 large stocks (ASML is 10%) and excludes the UK. Over the last 6 months, XEU has begun to outpace FEZ. Which one do you prefer for a new position? Or would you suggest splitting the investment into both?

Q: With a record immigration numbers and very few pre-construction sales due to the spook that high rates have put into real estate investors, there is a massive shortage of new housing units that has yet to be felt by the market (in my opinion). I think this is a uniquely Canadian problem and wonder if you see any companies poised to outperform when rates are falling and housing starts begin to pick up? Could you name 3-4 companies that would benefit in different ways when the shortage of available housing starts to translate into a rapid increase in units built?

Q: Lots of questions here -
What is the timeline for the cost cutting measures?
What are the metrics that describe the potential financial impact of the measures?
How would you rate the proposed measures are adequate to turn things around (low chance = 1, high = 5)?
All else equal, can you guess how BCE's stock price could go up with a drop in BoC interest rates, say by 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%?
Thanks a lot. Your guidance is superb.
