Q: Hello 5i
3 analysis requests per above : can you comment on these ETFs in regards to North American holdings overlap and geography overlap for the international exposure etfs (all are 1/2 to full positions). If you have replacement etf options please feel free to comment. Finally in regards to respective sector identification / allocation what would 5i recommend for the north american focused etfs (source the fund fact disclosure or simply enter as an index?) Thanks for the innovative hi level investment platform & your service.

Q: Hi, Can you name a few companies say 3 Us and 3 canadian companies who have been prolific in creating value for their shareholders either by buying back shares/not increasing their share count while growing consistently. A small dividend if applicable but leaning more towards growth in earnings. Preferably with some sort of monopoly or advantage in their field. Thank you.

Q: I have a larger cash account with a 10+ year horizon and would like generate capital gains only and no significant dividends. I like the Horizon TRI funds but would also like to invest in some individual stocks. Could you recommend some good stock (or other ETFs) that pay out little or no dividends.
Thanks!

Q: My wife and I each have about $110,000 in our RRIF accounts. Because of poor performance by our broker, we have decided to manage the RRIFs by ourselves. We are both in our mid-eighties so we would like stocks with good yields but not more than moderate risk. Yield is more important than capital gains in those accounts. Can you suggest about 8 to 10 stocks that meet those criteria? Thanks for your help.

Q: Two questions about the Canadian listing of Fairfax India Holdings (FIH.U:CA)
1. I was looking to buy it my Canadian Margin account - but it quotes the price in USD. Would I be buying this in USD? I don't understand.
2. What are your thoughts about this stock for the long term? I'm looking to buy it for my 5 year old daughter's future.
Thank you.
