Q: I understand that Labrador Iron Ore Roayalty corporation is cyclical in nature. That said, is it a good time to consider investing in this stock at this time? It's a high yileder which may provide some protection on the downside now.

Q: While I understand 5i prefers questions about companies with a market cap of $1 billion plus, this is a general question more about open-pit mining in Mexico than it is company specific. Two years ago I bought DSV shares for many reasons, not least of which were the involvement of Eric Sprott and the selection of Tony Makuch as CEO. This past summer I was shaken out of my position in DSV when I learned that the new govt was hoping to change the constitution in order to ban open-pit mining. However, apparently they do not have the numbers in the Senate to pass the legislation. DSV's Cordero project is planned to be open-pit. I realize you can't speak to my personal situation, but are investors wise to stay on the sidelines regarding development stage projects in Mexico given the new govt's legislative push or do you believe that nothing will really change? Btw, if you have any information regarding whether or not DSV will be allowed to build the intended open-pit mine, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for any insights you can offer.

Q: Hello 5i Team

Is there a comparable product to HSAV available on the Canadian Market?

I am looking for an "accumulating" type ETF to accumulate funds on a monthly basis for annual expenditures (i.e. rrsp contributions, tfsa contributions, income tax installments etc).

I currently hold HSAV for other purposes.

I cannot transfer funds from non-registered accounts into rrsp/tfsa monthly as I make the annual contribution(s) on Jan 01.

Ideally I would use money market mutual funds for this purpose, however RBC Direct Investing charges 1 % fee on MMF purchases (seems rather excessive for MMF).

Thanks

Q: Good Day team 5i: Considering I am a long way away from my original purchase price of 94.50 and very unlikely to see that again , and considering my target date from before the pandemic needing these funds has shrunk to less than 2 years .. Funds are in a TFSA can I transfer to my unregistered account and have a loss of some value. If I chose to leave it in TFSA can you suggest a couple top replacement for MG? Tks and much appreciated Larry ( unless of course you feel I should hold )I do have other options for the funds needed.

Q: It is my understanding that VFV's holding is VOO, which has some withholding tax implications. ZSP holds the individual stocks, so no withholding tax. Am I correct or has VFV changed. If I'm correct I believe ZSP is a better product for Canadians.

Q: would you take some profits from the market or stay the course?
