Q: I was expecting Armageddon/ volatility in the markets with no China deal and more tariffs and China retaliation. What gives? At some point this is going to impact earnings, jobs, etc. In fact the market has risen, what do you make of it?

Q: Hello
I am aiming to have about 20% of my equity portfolio in international stocks (ie. not US or Canada). I currently own ZDH (4.3%), ZDM (5.06%), ZEQ (1.87%), ZLD (4.19%) and ZEM (4.15%).
Do these ETFs appear reasonable to you? Do you see any need to change/consolidate, or to reduce MERs? The Portfolio Analyzer recommends VIU, XEF, VEE and XEM. Do you think it is worthwhile replacing my ETFs for the recommended versions?
Also, VEE and XEM do not appear to be as tax efficient as ZEM, or am I missing something?
Thank you for this great service!

Q: Hello,
Can I make a simple assumption that ZPR seems to be following the general market up an down (below 200 day line and possibly forming base at around $10) and hence at todays' lower number may indicate a buying opportunity?

Q: Good morning,
I need to increase the Health Care and a Tech sectors of my portfolio. Given that I wish to invest in Cdn$$$, my research for one ETF in each sector leads me to a choice among the ETFs listed above and 5i may have others that may be a better choice.
Question. What would be 5i's best of class ideas for a Health Care and Tech ETF to add to my portfolio and is there a preferred location (TFSA/RRSP/Non Reg acct) for these ETFs?
Thank you and I will await your valued suggestions/recommendations.

Q: I have subscriptions to both 5i Research and to the ETF & Mutual Fund Newsletter. Is there any way that these subscriptions can be linked, or must they be kept separate?
In the ETF Model Portfolios you recommend VSP and XQQ. Both ETFs are "Canadian Hedged". Are there non-hedged versions of these ETFs available? Why do you prefer the Canadian Hedged versions at this time?

Q: We have been divesting ATL1880 but it still is 1.7% of our portfolio (was 20%). One reason is because I realized that its return is mostly ROC and it has a high turnover rate.
I feel that the turnover is churn to the benefit of management company. I have recently read that receiving ROC is not necessarily a bad thing. Would like your opinion in general and in relation to this fund. This is our last mutual fund holding and its fees are also higher then I think reasonable. As we need income I want to replace with something that would provide equal income so would appreciate any suggestions you may have.
