Q: I have been following 5i advice for a few years now and it has served me well. Thanks! However, this is the first time I have had a question that I haven't seen an answer too in the forum; I some capital that I need to invest shorter term 1 - 1.5 years. Everything fixed pays next to nothing, so where should I be looking at this time? Bank stocks with a safe dividend? Other high dividend slow growth companies? If so, which would you recommend? Thanks, Dan

Q: Could I have your views on the Emerge suite of etfs; EAUT, EARK, EAGB, EAFT and EAAI. Returns so far seem to be pretty good but wondering if some of those could become part of a personal portfolio. Haven't heard very many questions on these particular etfs.

Q: Hello 5i Team. My question relates to the dividend on HFR. My plan is to use this ETF as a cash savings fund in hopefully a tax efficient manner. As such, can you confirm or comment on the following: from the Horizon web site (T3 Tax Distribution 2019) it lists the dividend as 93% "other income" and 7% as "foreign income". Can one assume that other income would be taxed as interest income by the CRA? If my assumption is correct, what other ETF options might one look that combines safety and tax efficiency? Many thanks.

Q: Hi team!

I see today on Cision that Infosys has won some new contracts and named a Digital Process leader.
Last question on this company was in 2017.
What are your thoughts these days?
Most of their 'Key Ratios' from your Companies page seem to reflect things are moving in the right direction, ie ROE, ROC. Their 3, 6, 12 and 36 month '% change' charts support this as well with gradual upwards trajectories.
If newly purchased in a balanced portfolio, should it belong to an RRSP, TFSA or non-registered. They do provide a US $ dividend so I assume RRSP.

In keeping with the 'all things Digital' theme, are their other companies you prefer that would be key (ie leaders) in leading the digital transformation? (There was a question asked on Sept 28 about 'disrupters'...not sure if these might be classified into this category).

Keep up the excellent work for us small DIY investors!!!

Cheers,
SteveMC

Q: I have just sold ENB to realize a capital loss and replaced it with 50% TRP and 50% PPL.
When the 30 day period has elapsed and considering capital preservation and yield over 3+ years; would you reverse the trade and buy back ENB or just continue to hold TRP and PPL.

Many thanks.

Q: Hi 5i team,
I have a small position (2%) in XLNX. I keep a foothold in a few tech stocks where takeover rumours have surfaced in the past. Citi doesn't think Xilinx management will agree to an acquisition by AMD due to the company's dominant position in the high-margin programmable logic device market. The Citi analyst also speculates that Qualcomm made a bid for XLNX a few years ago that was turned down. What do you think the odds are of the AMD bid happening shortly and the chances of another bidder emerging?
Thanks again for the insight.
Dave
