Q: With the market rotation and possible interest rates impacting growth stock valuations.

Is ARKK becoming hit too hard to ignore?

What would be your top ETF plays for today and the next 2-3 years? I've been riding semi's.

This is an added boost for my portfolio which is otherwise balanced.


Thank you very much!!!

Q: Hi 5i team.
Looking for at least 3-5 year and likely longer hold on cybersecurity stocks or ETF. Would invest about 2 % of my equity funds in this.
Need high conviction for longer term capital preservation though I am quite OK with volatility. (A lot of tech stocks currently are relatively on sale.)

What would be your top 2 stocks and/or ETF recommendation? What price would you consider buying in at for your top recommendations.
Thank you so much.

Q: I have the following bond ETF's: HFR,VSC, ZAG and XHY. They total 22% of my portfolio. My question is do I move out, reduce or shift into different bond investments. I am 70 and they are split evenly in registered and non registered accounts.
Cheers and thanks for your great work. Bob

Q: Happy New Year!
As a broad-ish generalisation, could one substitute 'structured notes' as an asset class in a portfolio with one or more covered call ETFs?

Q: With the recent shift from growth to value I was hoping to add a bit of Canadian Tech with XIT, instead of picking away at CSU, GIB.A etc individually, as these are all held within the fund. Can you let me know your thoughts on this or a proxy to XIT? XIT seems quite expensive with Management Fee's 0.55% and Management Expense Ratio (MER) 0.61%

Q: Re: the previous year's total return for the TSX, XIC the i Shares ETF says 25.06% and I have seen other numbers close to that. But the yearly performance without dividends is said to be 21.07%. So two questions: 1. What is the correct number? 2. If it is 25.06 or close to it how can that be so much higher than 21.07? The composite dividend yield was not 4%, correct?

Thank you!

Q: It’s my understanding that Chinese ADRs listed on the NYSE are in the process of being delisted. I don’t hold any directly but I have ETFs that hold them [IEEE. KGRN]. I’m assuming they will be directly affected. Am I best selling them, or holding them and waiting. How are the ETF companies likely to deal with any Chinese ADRs they hold. I’m sure they will appear in a number of ETFs that are not directly tied to China, for example BYD and BABA. I’d appreciate your thoughts. Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hi,

Do you think we're in in a 'commodities super cycle' - and if so - which CDN and US stocks/etfs would benefit from that?

Also, I know what carbon eta's GRN and KBRN do, but do you think they are good, safe investments for the long haul?
