Q: I'm looking to deploy some funds outside of North America, for perspective my portfolio consists of mostly small, growth companies, I can handle very high volatility, and spend time daily managing my holdings and size positions. Have a couple of etf's that would fit my style?
Q: I don't like the way CDRs handle SPLITS "CIBC does not 'split' the CDRs in the typical sense. It instead adjusts the ratio of how many partial shares each CDR represents. This has been done now for NFLX."
Does it make sense to SELL my NFLX CDRs and BUY Regular NFLX on the Nasdaq??
May I have your thoughts on SMX:US (security matters) please? Talk about an absurd chart. Is there something real here in the premise of its molecular-level verification system that is permanent through the processing stages as a form of verification? Or is this more likely a pump and dump?
I only heard about it today, so I'm just staring to look into it and would appreciate your assessment. It's done 1000% in 2 days. Yikes.
Q: Hello Peter and team at 5I:
With many REITS trading at a discount to Net Asset Value, would you please give a list of those you consider good value at this time. Thank you for your amazing service. Barbara
Q: I get an email from Seeking Alpha every once in a while touting various stocks and ETF's . I recently got one on GPIQ { not in your data base } with a rather glowing assessment . For brevity I will just quote their summary ......
" The Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Premium Income ETF offers a compelling blend of capital appreciation and double-digit yield, amassing $2.12B AUM in just over two years.
GPIQ’s dynamic covered call strategy leaves upside partially uncapped, enabling strong monthly income and market-beating total returns compared to peer ETFs.
The ETF’s monthly distributions remain stable regardless of Fed rate changes, making GPIQ attractive for income investors in a declining rate environment.
While GPIQ carries risks tied to tech sector performance and execution, its
proven strategy positions it as a top choice for income-focused investors seeking growth. "
What is 5i's assessment of this ETF and why ? ..... Thanks for your terrific service ......
Q: Looking to establish a position in Bitcoin/Crypto; wondering what your thoughts are on the above companies and what other options there are.
Thank you for your input.
Q: At this point I have no real estate companies in my portfolio as I was concerned about on-line shopping affecting retail REITs, work from home affecting business reits, etc.
Is there anything in real estate that is safe and pays a decent dividend??
Q: Hello,
I am pretty well diversified across sectors, except for Materials, and have missed out on the past year's gains.
I already hold 25 individual positions and am reluctant to add more stocks to follow.
Was thinking of adding iShares Capped Materials XMA as an eventual full long-term position. Thoughts?
How would you approach buying XMA now after the year's gains? All at once? Over 3-6 months? Over the next year?
Thanks as always
Q: hello 5i
Lumen group in Canada is up about 0.34 as I write but in the US (LMGIF) it is up over 7percent. I must be missing something. currency differences can't account for this. What am I missing?

Q: Suggestion. Would it possible in your Portfolios to identify companies which are foreign (not based in Canada), eg GLXY, KSI. Some kind of flag may be. Thanks.
