Q: As I look around the city where I am temporary, I see all these “tired older malls” with a huge footprint (buildings and parking lots) in well established neighbourhoods. Is it possible that the buying up of these might be a future development play?
Q: I have some extra room in my existing telecom allocation and am looking at adding TMUS and dropping SJR.B. Or should I just add further to VZ or FIVG to continuing increasing my US exposure and currency diversification? I am retired but do not depend on the income from this portfolio which is intended to be widely diversified and focused on dividend growing solid companies.
Q: Hi group what is going on with AEM (always thought of it as a blue chip in the gold space. I have owned it for over 1 yr and am down 25%. It not acting well even today with gold up considerably. Should I sell or hold on > what it going to take to recover after the horrible quarterly results. Thinking of selling and moving FNV . Your thoughts are appreciated
Q: Goodmorning 5i,
You recently recommended shv for a reader seeking to place short term money. I have owned tlt and have found it a bit volatile for my safe money. Although, if this is not too contradictory, i plan to buy it back after the virus scare finishes. But, i was wondering whether in the US, whether you might suggest something between these two, that is, something with a higher return than shv but not as volatile as tlt?
Thanks
Q: 25 per cent of my portfolio includes the above ETF’s. Are there other ETF’s that I should consider to replace any of these. The returns have not been exactly stellar compared to many of the individual stocks that you have recommended. Thanks

Q: We currently hold ZQQ at 8%, ZUH at 3.5% and VGG at 19% of equities. For diversification, we need to increase investment in technology and healthcare. We are considering the unhedged ZNU (unhedged technology) and ZHU (unhedged US healthcare). Please give us your opinion on these or possible alternatives.
Thanks.
Cyril
Q: Hi,
I would welcome your thoughts on this - the MER seems high, but then again, so is the dividend, both of which makes me wonder if there are better options out there? Or, is this a solid investment? Always value your insight!

Q: Ok now i am 70 i feel myself being dragged kicking and screaming into more fixed income. My 5% exposure to fixed (money loosing) income over the last 10 years has made for a wonderful ride with equities but please recommend your favorite international ETF.
Q: SHOP is almost 30% of this ETF now. Shouldn't the "manager" be adjusting the weightings of this Fund? I realize it's slim pickings in the Cdn Tech sector but the other holdings could be beefed up and SHOP could be shaved back a bit. With a bad Q, SHOP could drag this ETF thru the mud.
Q: Hello,looking to buy, could you comment for growth and income.(Do like its portfolio of companies). It looks like a $ 4.25 target price? Or would you consider it too risky?
Would you recommend an alternative in the 5%
distribution range. Looking for growth with some safety.
What is your view of this company and it's current valuation? There is a lot of interest in this sector but I believe there is a strong secular tailwind in alternatives with these persistent low interest rates.
