Q: Watched a very interesting interview with an analyst on BNN yesterday making the case for therapeutics as the way forward for battling new Covid variants (as opposed to MRNA booster shots). Made interesting points and suggested a few stocks. Two are very small but SRNE is a reasonably sized Co. What does the book look like for this one?

TIA

Q: VQS jumped after that Alta Fox report a few months ago, but has fallen back a little. Do you like VQS now that it has come down a little, and do you see it as a stock that has long-term potential to out perform (or do you like some other small/mid cap companies better e.g. SYZ)

Q: Hello

With the current chip shortages, what is your view on Lam Research.
Is it a good hold for the next 5 yrs ? And at what price do you consider a good entry point? Or would you rather recommend another semi conductor company?

I hold TRP and I want to know if you see it as a good hold as an income stock?
What is your general view on the company going forward.

Thank you

Q: Out of curiosity, if you've maxed out your TFSA contributions, had gains and withdrew, say $100,000, are you allowed to put back $100,000 the next year or only the max contribution allowance?

Thanks

Dave

Q: Good afternoon,

Looking for some general guidance.

I currently have 25% of my portfolio in CAD-listed US ETF's - 14% XUU, and 11% ZSP. I have a few questions for you guys....

1. Would you ever put just 25% in (either) ETF or do you like that fact theyre different (I think you recommend no more than 15% per ETF max? is that correct?). I'd see the advantage of all-in one being better for DRIP'ing but think you (and me) prefer diversification.

2. I would like to add more American holdings in general (maybe 8% more to get to 33%). I am mostly interest in CAD-ETF's to achieve this. Would you view XQQ or XUS as a way to add some 'torque'?

Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi 5i,

This Active Global Equity ETF, TGGR created approximately 1 Year ago has reasonable 1 Year performance. It's Total Net Assets is listed as approx. 4.2M and has 200K shares out. Total assets seem very low for an ETF that has been available for at least 1 Year. The trade volumes are also very low. Does this suggest that investors have not been interested in the ETF in the past year and the 4.2M represents the initial seed money TD used to create the ETF? In general, should one avoid an ETF with similar characteristics?
