Q: Hi,would you sell Avo or Bos at this time as i'am trying to be more conservative,to ride out Trump for the next six months or more.
Also for say 50-60,000 could you recommend say three etfs or stock with 2-4% dividend that would be fairly safe going forward,as I do not want a GIC at less than 1%. I do realize there is always going to be risks in the Market.
Thanks for your good guidance,Brad

Looking for your opinion on Vanguard US Financials ( VFH)- seems to have a lower MER than the "i shares" version (IYF), which I believe is your primary vehicle for this sector. Can you help differentiate ?

Q: Good Morning,
Since interest rate are moving higher ,I am looking in investing into Lifecos. My research into ETF has given me FLI. This etf invest in US and Canadian Lifeco and pays a dividend higher than the the individual companies pays. I assume there is a call option in this ETF. Would you recommend this ETF? Is call option good when an ETF is moving higher? As for LCS is this high risk and how can they pay a 12% plus dividend?
Thank you,
Paul

Q: Good Day: I'm wondering if you have a recommendation in regard to an ETF for emerging markets that trades on the TSX? I have held ZEM in the past and have no particular concerns but as I now think about re-entering emerging markets it seems prudent to access your wisdom about possible alternatives that might be superior to the BMO product. Many thanks.

Q: Hello 5i team
Like many others I am in the process of re-balancing as we move into the new year. I feel I am well diversified with one glaring omission which is my ex Canada and US holdings.
Could you help me out? I'm looking for an etf that is strong and stable and covers the rest of the world.
Thanks
