Q: I've owned GLXY for a while. The last time Bitcoin was at the $50K level, GLXY was significantly higher (roughly $26-27). Any reasons why there is such a difference in the performance given where bitcoin is today? Given the halving is occuring in April, which is typically positive for the price of bitcoin, I would have expected a higher SP. Perhaps there's a catchup trade in the future?

Q: Good morning,

Both FR and PAAS are at new lows today, will 2024 be better going forward ?

Thanks,
George

Q: What’s your opinion on this quarter? Doesn’t look super. Would you forget about this and move on ?

Q: Can you give your comments around INMD's earnings release. Seems they expecting more conservative quarters, rev dropped, but not all bad and close to expected. They now have close to 1/3 of their market cap in cash, yet still no buybacks or plan. I'm wondering if things are starting to look bad here or just a bump in the road and you'd still hold? Thx

Q: Hi,
I trimmed some of my SMCI last week as the weight was getting too high. Since then it shot up another 25%. Obviously in hindsight I should have waited.
My question is does this stock movement scare you? Why does it keep going up this fast?
Thanks

Q: Can you compare the dividend growth at CN and CP over time? It looks to me that CP hasn’t increased the dividend since Oct. 2020. The longest previous period with no increase in the recent past seems to be July 2012 to July 2016. In contrast, CN seems to increase their dividend every year. But has the rate of increase for both been similar over the long run despite the choppiness at CP? Also, the rate of increase seems to be slowing more recently at CN, it was often double digit increases prior to 2020. Any insights appreciated, thanks.

Q: I currently own some VGCX as a market volatility hedge and due to my perception of its upward growth potentiality. Which of UVIX or UVXY would best complement VGCX as a volatility hedge in an otherwise sector and geographically diverse portfolio?

Q: I have part of my portolio in a self-managed account and another part in wealthsimple's roboadvisor. My fee only Financial planner said that he does not like the bonds in the roboadvisor which has an equal amount of ZFL (long bond) and WSGB (average duration of 5 years). It is not possible to change the percentage of ZFL to WSGB in a roboadvisor. Although I have really appreciated the service from the roboadvisor (I can have phone calls with a wealthsimple advisor) and love their platform, I am considering moving out of the roboadvisor because it is impossible to change the distribution of long to short bonds. In my self-directed account I hold ZAG - an aggregate bond. My question is: how does an equal distribution of ZFL and WSGB compare to an aggregate bond such as ZAG? Am I exposing myself to much longer duration in the roboadvisor compared to the self-directed account?

Q: Interested in a pick in US building materials as a play on infrastructure spend but equities like Martin Marietta, Vulcan Materials, Granite Construction and Quanta seem expensive. However Eagle Materials appears cheaper. Of these 5 are there two you would comfortably buy today with greatest growth potential. Secondly which two seem to you to be least risky. Finally is there another building material equity you would prefer more than any of these and if so what would be your reasoning for that pick. Thanks as always.
