Q: For precious metals exposure I hold the above. I have been frustrated with BTO and was wondering if there might be a couple of mid-tier producers with a gold bias that you could suggest as a replacement.

Q: Hello 5i
Thank for your detailed reply to my question re: QQQI. As a follow up question, can you give me an indication of how much variability is in the dividend and what would cause this.?
IE: In a large market decline the fund will still decline a lot but it will pay a healthy dividend while I wait or maybe it won’t?
Thank you so much!
Dave

Q: I sold my individual dividend stocks and am replacing them with an ETF for simplicity. How would you rate/compare these dividendETFS? Which two do you prefer? I'll put 1 in my rrsp and a another in my TFSA. I am diversified in other countries already. I'm thinking XDIV and XEI might be the safest?

Q: Have a question I have been meaning to ask for some time,

Do TSX/TSXV listed non-Canadian companies, like QIPT/US, KSI/Ireland, and IMP/US, just as examples, move more in-line with Canadian markets or their home country peers? E.g. if US healthcare companies are up 1% and Canadian healthcare companies are -1%, would you expect QIPT to be up or down 1%? QIPT is just an example, is there any information around this out there? *I am not asking about those specific companies in general.

I think ultimately I am looking at some of these American listed companies on the TSX (have a list from the TMX website: https://www.tsx.com/en/listings/listing-with-us/sector-and-product-profiles/united-states#listed-companies), and wondering if there are advantages to buying them to get American exposure, companies that report in USD, but avoid the FX fees and broker fees associated with buying American companies directly.

Any information you can provide would be great!

Also, some of the companies on that report from the TMX site I see are headquartered in Canada - like GRID, PIF, DR- any idea why they are on this report? They all say they're headquartered in Canada....

Thanks. - Jeff

Q: Hammond Power stock seems to have breached the $89 support level Today.

You don't like negative momentum.

Should we sell before losing more money as it looks like that tariff jitters are not going away for a while and next we could see a drop in the backlog, taking the stock a further leg down.

Thank You
