Q: Dear 5i,

If one wanted to invest in bitcoin would you wait for a US listed ETF or would
you invest in an existing blockchain ETF like BLOK?
(Van Eck filed just recently for a bitcoin ETF)

On the same risk/return spectrum do you think there are better themes to invest in with my money? Please suggest alternatives and perhaps some ETF's to research.

happy new year

Q: Please comment on the timing of taking a position in RBF1650 as an income investment. What is the risk compared to XBB? Inflation is one of the biggest worries for Canadians currently. Happy New Year to everyone at 5i. Thank you

Q: I'm currently trying to diversify my RIF account for 2021. I've trimmed some over weight holdings to free up some cash. I have NA covered with stocks in Canada and a couple of ETF's for the US but, nothing for the rest of world.
How would you currently rate the above now, hopefully for the coming recovery post COVID. I note, South America is not represented. do I need to consider it separately?
I'm inclined to go with 2 positions @ about 6% ......your opinion please!
All the best to you and everyone at 5i for the new year!

Q: Hi 5i,
I've recently seen a market summary which indicates that over both the past 3 months and the past year the S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index has outperformed each of the S&P/TSX Composite Index, the DJIA, the Standard & Poors 500 and even the NASDAQ, significantly.
Accordingly, I'm wondering if there are ETFs that track the S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index exclusively and, if so, what your comments are about them?
Thanks,
Peter

Q: Happy New Year to all at 5i!!!! I would like to make a TFSA investment for a long term hold in both QQQ and ARKK. Does this seem alright to do at this time? Should I chose one over the other, or would both investments compliment each other? Cheers, Tamara
