Q: Hi 5i staff, I Think this would be a good income investment , however I am really confused regarding the Mer.
Redwood shows 1.50 Mer on their site, You show 1.76 , Morningstar shows 1.76, TD direct shows Mer @ 1.76, but also shows Actual management fee @2.25.
Is there an answer as to why all the discrepancy.
Another Question, Why would anyone pay the high Mer for the mutual fund version when the sam product is available as an ETF with a .75 Mer
Best Regards

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
I am looking to deploy some cash in young persons TFSA, so the time horizon is long. Could you suggest as a couple of good long term stocks that are presenting a buying opportunity at the moment? Or perhaps just your favorite couple of names (maybe the best stocks never go "on sale"). Or would you hold some cash and wait for a possible further correction before buying?
Thanks for your great service!

Q: Hi there,

I read an article in The Toronto Star this weekend by Gordon Pape. He mentioned a company called Harvest Portfolio Group and referenced the performance of a few of the ETFs they run. I was interested in your take on their Tech Achievers Growth & Income ETF. How would you compare this against something like a ZQQ/XQQ/HXQ and which would you suggest in owning?

Thanks!

Q: I am seeking to invest the proceeds of a business sale for target returns of inflation + 4% and wishing to increase competence in self directed investing. 25% is marked for bond funds, 35% is earmarked for dividend stock, 25% for Equity ETFs, 7.5% t-bills and 7.5% highly speculative stocks . Do you feel that an allocation of 25% into bonds is too heavy given the probable rise in future interest rates? What funds would you recommend with low mgmt fees and reasonable performance?

Q: Earnings release looked fine to me, thus I stepped in on the pull back to now hold a 7% position. Divi is next week, which I will take and I expect ET to move back up into its regular trading range based on this earnings release. When that happens I will sell off half of my current position. Question, what do you think of earnings release and my short term strategy?
