Investment Q&A

Q: 5i's focus is on smaller company stocks. All companies need a focus of course. But this article struck a chord with me, mostly because since retiring I've reduced our equities to well below the 50% minimum for equities and the rest in bond funds or etf's that it seems most financial advisors recommend. We're now 75% GIC's. Your thoughts on this article please:

Q: Quarterhill wins the Apple court case (again) and has been awarded $85.M
Can Apple appeal this judgement? This must be considered a substantial amount of money going into the QTRH coffers. What would you think this should do to the value of the company? It seemed someone knew about the award before qtrh halted the stock yesterday as the stock price jumped and
volume was over eight times the average.

Q: I am seeking to understand why it makes sense for an individual investor to limit the number of equities to about 30, when ETFs have well over 100. Due to age I am considering switching more to ETFs.

Thanks for your great service - much appreciated!!!
