Q: Hi,

Can you please offer your views on US ETF DTH. It is an international ETF with a good mix. Also in this market full of uncertainty is it good to invest in ETF's like FSD (US), PHE (CAD) and RCS (USD). Thanks

Q: Hi Peter and team,

I know you are generally adverse to options but they have been a hugely useful tool in getting incremental leverage in my TFSA, which is otherwise constrained by the contribution limit.

I keep my options exposure relatively small, typically <20%. I currently hold OTC and CWB, but am looking to add a US bank and maybe a second US position that is rock solid and could give a small call option some torque.

Which bank would you recommend? Does anything juicy come to mind for the second position?

I am educated on these tools and am comfortable using them, so please don't answer the question with an overly apprehensive stance :)

Mike

Q: Hello 5i!

I have a relatively balanced portfolio mostly of Cdn stocks recommended by 5i. I would like to have a little more US exposure and I know its not the focus of your research but looking for a couple names that you would recommend for me. 2-3 year horizon or more. As always, thanks for the great service.

Q: Just a suggestion: think it would also be helpful to have questions that are related to US stocks show up when you search for the ".US" field, if possible. Right now, they only show up when you search for the specific symbol name. Not sure how easy this could be to incorporate, but thought I would ask. Thanks!

Q: What do you think of CA Inc? It seems to trade at a good multiple, have reasonable debt levels and pays a good dividend. However technically its been looking weak since I bought it and earnings growth seems to be slowing, although this could be temporary problem. Would you regard it as a sell? Are there better places to put my money in the same space?

Q: Hello 5i!
I would like to get your opinion on Omega Protein Corp (OME:US) on the NYSE. The company trades near book value, a trailing P/E of 8, and appears to be growing quite nicely. Why is this stock so cheap? Would you recommend it for a 6-12 month position?
Thanks
