Q: Hi Team,
Thanks for all your patience and hard work dealing with us retail investors during these challenging market times. Your transparency, calm and reason are most impressive.
I am thinking much longer term (beyond this current market choppiness) and was wondering if you can point me to an ETF(s) that is focussed on disruptive technologies. I found ARKK which is what I had in mind (different disruptive technologies in different sectors) but it is tiny at reportedly $6.82M market cap and virtually not trading volume.
Do you know of anything similar that is bigger and more liquid (presumably in the US)?
Many thanks for any suggestions.

I was thinking for the total $11,000
20% xbb
30% xic
40% xsp
10% vee
Please advise if there is a possible better alternate
For a smaller portfolio should one consider individual stocks

Q: Hello, would you recommend this fund over HFR? VSB has a management fee of .10 vs. .40 for HFR, and VSB has lower mer as well. Is one lower risk than the other? I have a fair bit of cash and wish to "park it" in a low risk bond fund. Thank you. Bill.

Q: I am interested in some balancing to my overwhelming Canadian holdings.
1. Can you suggest some low MER ETFs to provide US and World (excluding North America)?
2. What do you think of 'fundamental' ETFs compared to those based on 'market cap'? Any suggested names for further research?
The complexity of the expanding ETF field seems self defeating to their intended purpose. Thank you for your guidance.

Q: I hold XIT in both my RRSP and Cash accounts as my tech exposure, which is roughly 10%. 77% of the ETF is made up of 5 stocks = CGI-24%, CSU-21%, OTC-15%, BB-11% and DH-6%. It has performed reasonably well, even beating out it's USA cousin XLK (7.8% vs 1.3% total return over the last year).
I am reasonably positive on CGI, OTC and DH, neutral on BB and thought quite highly of CSU until recently. It appears to be rolling over. I suspect it might be some profit taking due to these ugly markets.
Is XIT still a reasonable holding for tech exposure? It really comes down to CGI and CSU, in my opinion...thanks for your guidance.

Q: hello 5i team,
I have about 30 percent of my portfolio in U.S. stocks, which i thankfully bought when the Canadian dollar was high. At the risk of being called the odius name of 'market Timer' i am now considering converting about ten percent of these U. S. dollars into Canadian, hoping to ride up the other side. One candidate that i have looked at cashing in is VWO.US. I have heldthis for quite awhile and am just breaking even. I recently read an article by a resected analyist saying that his company is not betting on emerging markets for awhile yet. Heput forward a pretty reasonable case for this thesis. What do you think about using this etf for this strategy, or at least some of it?
with thanks as always

Q: I see that DFN is dropping like the rest of the market. Rob Carrick from The Globe and Mail is recommending preferreds in the form of CPD. Are preferreds in any form a good safe haven right now?
