Q: HMMJ seems to have some good momentum and I'm no longer under water. Do you think it's going to continue until legalization or is it just volatile and I should get out while I'm ahead? Thanks!
Q: Hello 5I team
Would it be a good idea to short HMMJ or a Canadian Healthcare ETF? How much of the Canadian health care sector is Marijuana. Would there be a catalyst or a cue you use to determine when and if this is a good idea? Also how might you structure such a call? I have not shorted any equity so I am rather green on this. Also I am looking forward to the Moneyshow. Thanks for all the work you do to make this event a success and all the endless questions here. Jeremy

Q: Please advise that LQD, as its a US etf is still a good fixed income etf to hold within a rrsp sheltered account, although it is in USD
Q: I know that no one can predict the next market correction/ recession, but with the Yield curve getting quite close to inverting, being this long in the cycle, and low unemployment, how cautious should I be at this time.
I normally just continue investing every couple months.
With your advice I feel quite diversified across many sectors with some international investments in as well. That being said, is now or ever a good time to trim a little bit of everything have have cash ready for the next crash.
Would you ever invest in an inverse ETF during a market crash/correction, or is cash the better holding during that time?
If I think a crash may come in the next few months what percentage of cash would be an acceptable amount.
Thanks, Colin.

Q: Aurora Cannibis (ACB) seems to be left at the starting gate while several other pot stocks have doubled in the last few weeks. Would you comment on why this is and whether you consider it a reasonable valuation to invest in today?

Q: Your answer today on leveraged EFTs using risky options that added a lot of risk over time concluding avoidance.
A few days ago you responded to a ? about HXT HXH HXS that used Swaps to convert Divs to ROCs that implied these ETFs were fine to hold.
Are swaps a different risk asset than derivatives. What is swapped for what.

Q: A portion of my portfolio is cash and invested in an investment account with my discount brokerage. Current rate is just shy of 1.00%. Seems too low when I compare to various 1 year GIC now at 2.00% or more.
Would you know a better alternative within a discount brokerage account. I would appreciate members comments as well. I will add the topic in the forum. Thank you.

Q: Can you explain a leveraged ETF? If it is a leveraged Dow ETF, Does it hold the 30 DOW companies? or is it doing something different. I see some that attempt to achieve 2x or 3x the Dow Jones Industrial average. From a risk perspective, is it safe to say the at the would come with 2x or 3x the risk as well?
