Q: Hey Peter & Team,

Apologies if I missed the answer when I searched, but I found it difficult to find my answer when I looked for a U$ dollar equivalent to "CASH." What would you suggest 3 - 6 months hold??? OR is there a U$ ETF representing GICs?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Hi Peter and 5iresearch team
I don't have any exposure to materials. I have XBM and LIT on my list.
1. Is now a good time to start investing in materials?
2. Would you consider other ETFs/stocks (US or CAD) that must be held as a first step investing in materials?
Thank you

Q: I own 3 of the big 7, Apple, Amazon and Nvda and manage the positions for weighting. I would like to own Microsoft and/or Google. Please suggest if you think it's necessary to expand to one or both of these, and if better to have a half position in both, or full position in one or both considering the other holdings. Thanks!

Q: ".. priced US$400 million aggregate principal amount of 7.625% senior unsecured notes due 2029" ..... "goeasy intends to use the proceeds from the sale of the Notes to partially repay indebtedness under its secured facilities and for general corporate purposes"

I suspect they are just taking care of business here. I thought their debts were not particularly large considering their business. Thoughts or reassurances plse.

Q: I currently hold XMC in my unregistered account as I want exposure to the S&P Midcap 400 index. However, as you pointed out in your response to a recent question, the MER at 0.61% is quite high. Do you recommend an equivalent ETF that trades in the US that I could buy instead? Are there any disadvantages to replacing a Canadian listed ETF with a US listed ETF in an unregistered account (other than realizing tax on the capital gain upon the disposition of XMC)? Thanks as always.

Q: Your take please. Happen to be checking out Ci direct investing asset management for a managed portfolio. They have declining management fee starting at .6% On the first 150k and so on 500k it would be .4%.and if you chose the balanced portfolio you would get the portfolio fund mentioned above. This would be at an expense of an additional 2.92% for the Nicola core portfolio fund. Can this make any sense if a person wanted a legacy portfolio. Your valued opinion please and any advice on a better alternative? Basically do you think this fund is worth it? Tks Larry
