Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter,
I want to move my investments to a portfolio of ETF's, Please suggest a group of ETF's with strong growth potential for Long term ( 10-15 years).

Q: Your opinion of the five single-stock ETF’s offered by Purpose Investments, generally and specifically. I’m thinking, in particular of replacing a small holding of the NEO-listed GOOG with Y-GOOG-NE. To complement a holding of GOOG (US).

Q: Hi 5iResearch

These two names seem to be different series for the the same etf, right?

If I am right, why do they have different prices per unit and how could their dist, be different while both are having the same underlying securities?

Could you please advise if there are differences in risk?

Do VBAL and XBAL also have different series?

Please as many credit as the question requires.

Thank you

Q: Any thoughts about VDY as a long term hold in my RRSP

Q: What are your preferences for copper producers?
Is there an ETF that specialises in AI?

Q: I have $30,000 extra in my RRSP this year. I am looking for very strong companies that pay a good dividend and low risk even if they are ETF's. Thanks again

Q: In a follow-up to my question earlier, if I understand correctly the fund should go down another 1 1/5% as per your answer:
''HSAV has suspended new units, so investors can only buy in the market. Thus, it has traded at a premium to its asset value, and the premium is slowly decaying towards true asset value. The units are about $1.50 above asset value currently. But it can still move higher with any big buy orders coming in.'' unless a white knight comes in to buy a large order...

What happens with the yield that the fund collect with the high yield savings account it's invested in? Does time invested in the fund add value? In other words how is one supposed to make money or even hold on to one's money beeing invested in that fund? In your January 9th answer to a question asking for stability and income you put HSAV at the top of the list.
Frutrated investor...
Stll thankfull for your service.

Q: Further to your answer to question: Can you suggest a US ETF similar to CASH in Canada, dated Feb 24, 2023 10:30 AM, what about a HISA Mutual Fund like NBC101, current rate = 4.15% ?

Would there tend to be some percentage of disconnect.
