Mackenzie GQE Global Equity ETF (MGQE $26.41)
Q: For international exposure, VIU or MFC099, which also has an ETF.
Q: Is this still worth holding? It is down like many type ETFs. CI Global Asset Mgt is to be purchased by Mubadala Capital. Not sure if everything will be "steady as she goes".
Q: This seems to be brand new on the market. I cannot seem to find a listing of the companies nor the MER. The website doesn't seem to be very "friendly"...
Thanks for your help, as always.

Q: Hi there! Why does the US dividend Ex Date show as APRIL 1 and the CDR show it as MAY 1???? Would this be the same for all CDRs?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Q: A follow up question re HBND. The yield as you point out is quite high. I suspect that is due to the decrease in share price. If the price recovers will the dividend $ continue to be close to where they are now; and therefore providing the best of both worlds…. Some degree of safety, nice yield and a capital gain.
Q: Hi 5i Team,
Uranium stocks and the underlying price of uranium seems to have potentially bottomed. What you be a buyer of uranium stocks at this time or do you think it would be better to hold off and wait for a position?
Thanks as always,
Jon

Q: FDD - First Trust STOXX European Select Dividend Index Fund isn't listed on your site but I hold some of it and am thinking of getting more. It has a high yield but hasn't done much the last few years, up until this year, when it's shot up nicely. What do you think of it and it's risks?
Q: Hi Peter et al,
You folks are very knowledgeable about Long Short Options and other hedging techniques. With that in mind, may I ask for your opinion about Simplify ETFs for income. I was impressed by Michael Greene's interview on Danny Moses' podcast.
(On the tape with Danny Moses).
Looked at his website and he seems to offer a lot of income generating ETFs based on solid instruments. (Bonds, Treasuries and Solid stocks). HIGH, BUCK, CRDT, AGGH etc.,
The MER seems reasonable. But only available in USD.
Worth dipping in? Which one would you as their best offering?
If you think there are better alternatives here in Canada or even in the US, please feel free to share your suggestions.
Many thanks.

Q: I believe in international diversification, but I am currently regretting the high weight I have put on US-dollar-denominated holdings in my portfolio. Given Trump's policies to date, his career record of welshing proudly on past debts and the years remaining in his term, I want to lower the weight substantially and invest in more European, British, Japanese, Australian and New Zealand assets instead, assets not denominated in US dollars. What ETFs do you suggest for this purpose?
