Q: Hi.

Comparing Global ETFs (XEF, VXC) [7-year AARR ~6.3%] versus MFs (RBF1067, RBF1370, MAW120, AIM1593) [10-year AARR net MER ~10%].

Hard to compare these with the tools I have at my disposal, but it appears that smart management of Global investments maybe be worth the MER ding. Your thoughts?

Haven't owned in MF in years, but maybe it makes sense here...

Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i. I have noticed you have recommended iShares Floating rate Bond ETF a number of times. There is also a CA$ ETF from Purpose Investments with the same symbol on the TSX.
Could you please comment on the risks / differences of each, and also the difference in Yield.
Thanks kindly T.

Q: When does BBD report? Do you think it can find support at $3?

Q: What is the reason CAR.un is outperforming TCN. Which would you prefer as an investment?

Q: What would be your top industrial stock to put in a dividend portfolio? ISV? RME? or other?
Thanks for everything!

Q: Hi folks
SYZ is happily holding its own during this massacre. Why would this be when most every other stock is feeling the pain. ?
THANKS to all for keeping us calm at this juncture. I have 10% in cash from mid summer shaving of my winners and on the watch for some of my favourites. Thanks to you.

Q: I've noticed on several occasions over the years that subscribers have "called you to task" for advise that didn't work out. I can understand their frustration, particularly if they're down a fair bit because they followed your advise.
I've been an investor now since the 1970's and I don't look at it that way at all. You don't claim to be right all the time. It's a constant assessment of risk versus reward and sometimes it doesn't work out. As I've told my own adviser, who I have a lot of respect for, she doesn't have to be right about an investment. What I do expect is honesty. That's what I pay for and I get. If she was right every time, what would she need people like me for.
Similarly, if you were right all the time, would't you be sitting on your 300 foot yacht on the Riviera sipping Scotch. What would you need us for? Just keep on giving us honest opinions, even the riskier ones that sometimes disappoint.

Q: ..what do you think of Reitmans as a reasonably safe place to hide and earn a dividend in an otherwise horrible Cdn market? thanks.

Q: Hi,
A question about the webinar yesterday on "how to pick a stock in 2018": How do you put the 20% rule from the "Lessons from some Experts" in practice ? Do you sell when the market(or a particular stock) corrects for 20% or more ?

Q: I am a growth investor with an 8 to 10 year timeline. Regardless of sector weightings, in the current market would you either start a new half position in Parkland Fuel OR top up to from a 4% to a full 5% weighting in Kinaxis, Savaria Spin Master and Premium Brands? Thanks in advance, Greg.

Q: In your Aug /17 report on Savaria you indicated it was at 22 times forward earnings and at it's most oversold in 5 years. At 80 cents (2019 earnings est.) the p/e would be under 21 . Would the same logic apply now? Is this a good entry point and are you still sanguine about the growth story?
Your considered opinion is appreciated.
Mike

Q: Is this a good time to take a long term position in Andrew Peller?

Q: I asked this question yesterday, however it appears it was missed:
"I have some cash to allocate for RRSP & TFSA portfolios and would like your opinion for the above list for both CDA and US.
For RRSP: Which two from each CAD and US would you buy today (after the stormy few days) for a more conservative hold 3-5 years, that would potentially have less volatility while continuing to grow sales and earnings.

For TFSA: Which two from each CAD and US would you buy today for more growth opportunity and share appreciation in the next 3-5 years.
Please give your reasons for the ones you would choose without sector allocation considerations.
I currently hold TSGI & MX (down on both) but am ok with that."

Q: Hi team, Before I fall for a good div enhancement gimmick, would you please comment on brett Owens div. Conversion machine being applied to us blue chip companies like Google, dis, jpm, pfe, to triple dividends received, and could this be applied to CDN stocks or what's the ketch. Thanks for the heads up.

Q: Hi 5i,

With the market correction, I am looking to add to some positions while things are on sale. I am looking at TSLA, which reposted good results last week and thus the stock started to rise. It also did pretty well today in a negative market. I have read your other answers on TSLA. Has you opinion become more positive after the recent results. Thanks 5i
