Q: Hi, my respected 5i team
Could you please recommend some solid names(US and Canadian markets) focusing on post-Covid theme play? I would like to take advantage of the price decline due to the pandemic lock down, some solid names that will be the survivors.

Thanks in advance!

Q: Hi, 5i team
What are your opinions about emerging market and Europe? Are they attractive based on current value? Could you recommend some ETFs both in Canadian & US dollars?
Do you recommend to buy now to hold about 1 or 2 years?

Thanks a lot!

Q: I can't say I expected the green industrial stocks to do so well so quickly. I mean, I'm happy and all but it's all moved so fast. And I must say that with the urgency I feel we need to deal with climate change I'm glad that the market seems to agree with me (finally - and perhaps only temporarily?!).

Can you provide a short list of Canadian and US companies that would fit into the general green industrial/energy space? I own most of the above, but am looking for something I may have missed. I don't own any US companies in the space.

Thanks

Q: With regard to the question about not being able to log in to TD WebBroker, here are two things to try. The first has worked for me. The second is worth trying.
Log in to EasyWeb, then switch over to WebBroker by clicking on an investment account. Log in on your phone using the mobile app. It may be that the inability to log in to WebBroker is due to a DDOS attack on the WebBroker log in, not that the entire system is down, and the banking and mobile log ins are not being hit. As a last resort you could phone them, but given the response time these days, that may be equally frustrating.

Q: Hi Peter and team,

I'm overweight tech and underweight the US and international by a lot.

I hold XAW at roughly 20% in my RRSP.
Currently have 13k in cash and will have another 15k once PEO shares get tendered in a LIRA account.

Can you recommend an ETF or two that can address both my problems. One that has zero to very minimal tech exposure, no canadian exposure. Preferably trading on the TSX.

Thanks,

Rino

Q: In response to a recent question from Alan regarding what you felt the BEPC over BEP.UN price premium should be you said "We think 10% to 12%"

What about the premium for BIPC over BIP.UN? Do you think it should also be 10 to 12%? BIPC is currently trading approx $11 or 32% over BIP.UN.

Q: Hello Peter,
I hope this does not reduce my credits as it is a general question which i am sure other members would appreciate having an answer... I find overall the TD webbroker has many issues where one cannot log in at times. Today, it has been down a good part of the morning.. What avenues do investors have as we could be losing a substantial sum if we want to sell or buy stocks and the site is down at times.. There has to be some accountability for trading platforms. If these are not the type of questions relevant for this site, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

Q: I am intending to sell SNC to crystallize a tax loss (early I know) but want to stay in the sector should the Feds suddenly decide to throw $$ at infrastructure. What do you suggest buying as a proxy in the meantime with the thought of buying back SNC after 30 days? I have WSP and a little ARE now and could possibly add to one or both. Not re-puchasing SNC is another option. Thanks you in anticipation.

Q: To contribute to TFSA Can we deposit us $ or have TD WATERHOUSE (IN MY CASE)
Convert after depositing in Canadian Dollars?
Other places have better rates than bank in Exchange.
