Investment Q&A

Q: Hello 5i,
I have a follow=up question about HIND:CA. When I look at the data on your company profile, the market cap shows as being 2.5 million. Both GlobeInvestor and the company website peg it at around 26 million. I am guessing that your feed has a typo?
Also, on the company website, they reference a number - "126 B" as being their "Average Market Capitalization". What does this reference in relation to the fund's market capitalization of 26.5 M?
I note, incidentally, that this fund's market cap seems to be slowly increasing. At what point should one take this fund seriously? Would increasing market cap need to be considered in conjunction with length of time as an operating fund before jumping in?
I am not quite ready to "pull the trigger" on this one, but it is very high on my list, and I am looking for "buy signals" as opposed to buying blind.
Many thanks for any insights you can offer.
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Through the Spring and early summer, there appeared to be a lot of positive views about small caps. IJR is one of many ETFs mentioned during this period. With all the volatility and turmoil in the last few weeks, at his juncture and in the midst of the "broadening out" of the market, what is your view of small caps? Is it a sector you still see as prospectively positive? Are there other areas that you see as having more potential? Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Hi, Can you let me know what High interest ETF (highest yield?) you recommend - in US and CDN $.
I also believe there is one High interest ETF, that does not pay interest, but accumulates capital gains, what is it's name and what do you think of it.
Thanks.

Q: Hi — Appreciate the service.

Question about FPR-T, purchased in ~2018 at $21.09 as fixed-income/yield instrument at a time of low interest rates.

Need to generate some cash and am considering selling this achieved-its-purpose stock.

Question: on a scale of 1 - 10, how much (more) upside could I be missing out on if I sell now?

Thank you.

Q: With the lowering of interest rates, what bond funds to invest in? Bond ETF’s?

Q: Could you please suggest a hedged ETF for renewable energy including Uranium, that could earn 10% in the first year, including both dividend and capital appreciation? Same question please also for a Canadian ETF? could you also please include grid energy or large scale energy storage as part of the question?

Q: Which do YOU prefer today and why?

Q: I was having coffee with a friend of mine yesterday and he had mentioned these products which seem to use leverage 1 for 1 for example in stocks and bonds or stocks and futures. Can you give me a quick overview and your gut feeling on these type of ETF's, it looks like the history is extremely limited and I don't quite understand how these work.

Q: Could you please add FGRO ETF to your database.
I understood these 5 ETF's would have similar price performance but FGRO and TGRO outpace the other three for the last 3 Years. ZGRO, XGRO and VGRO pretty much have the same performance. Can you help explain why FGRO and TGRO have significantly outperformed the three?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Is there an ETF equivalent of RSP (S&P equal weight) that trades in Canada? If, not can you suggest a best alternative?

Thanks for the amazing service over the last 10+ years!

Q: Would you consider this a good hold for a 3-5 year time horizon?

Thank you.

Q: Hello, I would like to have your opinion on XHAK. I have been looking at buying a cybersecurity stock for some time, trying to decide between Palo Alto and Crowdstrike and some others. Could this ETF be a way in the sector? Looking at the portfolio, it includes some cos that don’t seem to be directly involved in cybersecurity, though. Not sure why these are included in this ETF… Thanks

Q: How do these corporate bonds compare. I was considering a 2% position.
Do you prefer one over the other, or a 1-1.5% position in both.

Thank you

Q: How can I trade the VIX?...

Q: Pls recommend AI ETFs hedged for US, and AI etfs Canadian.

Q: What are your favorite monthly income ETF's? Safety, decent distributions, and possible upside are priorities.

Q: Are Horizons HXS and HXT reasonable ETFs for a beginner investor with no interest in investing? Is there methodology still a viable one?

Q: Considering the holdings (with low or no dividends) ,I wonder how this etf can offer 6% dividends,if it is really a 6% dividend,should we deduct +/-15% foreign tax in RRSP account,since most Cies are foreign Cies out of USA..thanks for your always excellent comments

Q: Everyone, Bitcoin, there has been a lots of talk about crypto for many years but I am hesitant until it is supervised by the treasury departments of countries. Until then it is nothing more than a digital currency that could have no value. That being stated politicians will start to approve if it will get them a vote. Rule number one of a politician is get elected and rule two is get re elected. So do I wait or do I purchase an ETF? Do I purchase in quarter pieces over the course of a year? Or what? Clayton
