Q: HI 5iResearch team,
Can you please advise re: US utilities? I believe Stephen Jarislowsky's view that the US $ will increase relative to Can $ in near term, so have converted some US$ to Cdn$ recently with plan to repurchase at better exchange. He recommended US utilities for a longer term hold. Do you concur and if so, what would you buy?
Thank you, Linda

Q: In following your recent responses you seem quite comfortable with AVO and its momentum combined with its risk/return factor. Using that as your base measurement could you list 3 more that you would feel have the same or more momentum and you feel the same level of return/risk confidence. These would fit into my Tfsa

Q: Following up on a question from Greg Jan 24/18 do you have any information regarding how both ETF's compare. I understand that BLCN has many more stocks while BLOK is concentrated on fewer stocks.Fees tend to be the same or almost the same. I realize both funds are very new ,just launched last week and would be speculative but any investment would be a very minor part of my portfolio. Thanks for any guidance. Too early to invest?Paul

Q: Am I correct in being a bit nervous about the tech sector getting ahead of itself? I own the above stocks in tech. I have trimmed SHOP from about 12% down to 7%, and I own about 6% in the others, (all with good gains). So - still about 25% tech. I've thought of selling all tech and sitting on the sidelines for a few months, or, just making a trim to reflect a balance. How would you suggest I proceed to further? Thanks, as always.
