Q: Hello 5i
We're curious about FLX (formerly FLOT)

Held since 2018Dec it was up ~2.85% including Interest pmts at 2021Dec31
Since then it has further dropped and we are now down ~2.0% (including interest pmts)
Would appreciate your opinion whether this is due to the change in its
investment objective introduced in December, or is it more related to the market
scenario since then.

Would you recommend holding or exchange for some safer bond ETF ?
If the latter could you please provide a couple of examples

Thanks for your guidance.

Q: Have these ETF's in my portfolio for at least 5 years. With the current interest rates environment... keep or swap? If swap which one? What would be a better option?

Thanks for your great service

Q: Recently started position in SMH. Read yesterday that , in addition to other current headwinds, 70 % of neon - a component in semi-conductor manufacturing - comes from Ukraine. And , while other industrial gas companies could eventually take up production , the question is how soon and at what cost.
How would you assess this as an additional negative impact on the sector ?

Q: Hello Peter and team,
Would you prefer VOO or VTI at this time? Also, is there an etf in canadian dollars (tsx) that mimics VTI similar to xsp on tsx and SPY? Thanks very much.

Q: Could you please comment on this new fund. There is quite a difference in the price of the series and ETF, could you explain. It's not showing a dividend yet, but on their site it says it has a target distribution of 5%. Would this be an appropriate fund for an income investor, or do think just buying a few Co.'s would be better? If so which ones? What do you think of Nine Point Energy, and would you agree with Eric Nutall's comment that the party in oil and gas has just begun, despite the large gains we have seen recently? Thanks so much for your service.

Q: Hello Peter and team,
Do you think Brookfield renewables is surging (to move away from oil) due to higher oil prices? If oil dips, would you think the stock will get hit? From the various sectors, which one do you think offers the best potential given the current situation? Would the agriculture sector be a good one with cow on tsx. Thanks very much
