Q: Hello 5i.

Would appreciate your thoughts on ILLM:CA latest earnings.

It seems as though every quarter they are boasting about illumin's success/growth. Yet their revenue has remained relatively flat since 2020, which leads me to believe they are only able to convert existing customers rather then attracting new clients. I do not consider that to be "world changing" as the CEO seems to imply.

Have held the company for a few years now and I am now considering selling my current position at a loss.

Would appreciate your assessment and If you believe there are better opportunities out there your replacement ideas.

Thanks again as always. Appreciate the service.

Greg C.

Q: Could you tell me the difference between these ETFs and would you suggest having just one or all in ones portfolio. Currently I have ZPR in a margin account. I have some room in a TFSA; I'm wondering if I should leave that for my Reit ETF - ZRE as I'm moving away from growth toward income. Why are they all down right now? Is it a good time to buy or is it best to wait? Thank you!

Q: Hi,

I have a divided the amount I set aside for Gold (long time hold as a hedge against many variables) between GLD,XGD and ZJG. But the Junior Golds cost me money! Down about 12%. On GLD and XGD I am up. Will the Juniors see the light of the day soon? Or should one wrap up th e position and move it to XGD/GLD? Or your favourite PHYS?

Q: May i have your thoughts on this one? It released earnings last night which looked great but the stock is down 20% or so today and I'm now holding at a loss. I read the conference call transcript and I can't figure out why the market sent this one lower after what looked like a nice quarter with significant year over year earnings growth. I don't know what I may be missing. The same thing happened to me on Peri and Meli, which I thought had good earnings but fell the day after, only to recover a bit in the following days.

Thank you,

Jason
