Q: I have been trying to find research information in 5i questions and on my trading platform, RBC Direct Investing for TTAI - FCF International Quality ETF mentioned on the latest podcast, but I can't find it using the ticker or description. Can you help me with where to look? If this isn't an ETF that is available to me through RBC DI, is there a comparable ETF for international market compounders? Thanks!

Q: As a follow up to my question on January 8 regarding ETFs you suggested ZSP to represent S&P 500
Would HXS be a better alternative since there will be no withholding tax in the TFSA as per asked by Danny boy on January 10?

Q: I am trying to understand how an ETF like XIU works. Does a shareholder actually own any stocks when they own this etf, or do they just own shares in a fund that tracks the TSX 60, but doesn't actually own the individual companies?

Q: Follow-up to my question about CIB238 and PSA. Thanks for the explanation. You indicated that CIB238 pays a yield of 4.8% while PSA pays 3.4%. Are these current comparable yields? CIB238 seems high. Could the CIB238 be the yield over the past year while PSA is the current yield? If it was your $100k, which would you invest in to park money?
Q: Will this recover or should I sell? Harvest Premium Yield Treasury ETF (HPYT:CA)
Your view would be appreciated.

Q: Hi, I have these two stocks in my rrif account. Thinking of selling my two losers DIR and TELUS, and putting it in ZMI.
DIR and TELUS don’t seem to be doing much, while ZMI has US holdings, is steadily increasing in price with a good dividend.
This would be for a 5+ year period.. your thoughts please.
