Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Could you please give me your opinion on the etf's FNG and FINX. I am thinking of taking a half position in each. Do you prefer one over the other or do you think splitting between the two a good idea. I currently do not have any exposure to tech other than PHO and OTEX but with the huge gains in tech over the past year I am reluctant to stock pick at this time.

Q: Hello, I would like to put some money into an ETF or mutual fund. Would be in for the long term +5 years.
Would these three be acceptable for dividend, stability and small growth? I’am retired and need income, but not interested in U.S. tax filing.
Would you invest in all three? Or do you have a better suggestion with one or two ETF’s ?
Thanks

Q: I have only one oil/gas stock WCP down 38% and a 1.6% position. I only have that because I feel I should have something in the sector. Lately I've noticed a disconnect between the price of oil and the stock price movement. I know WCP is one of 5I's favorites but I'm wondering if my lonely representation in the sector wouldn't be served better by ZEO which yields about the same. Opinion ?

Q: Good morning. I'm wondering if there is a canadian etf(s) that would provide exposure to the US tech sector which could contain companies such as Microsoft, Apple etc. This would be for a non-registered account or TFSA.
Thx.
