Q: ZEM is my only emerging markets holding. It has done well recently. Nevertheless, I understand that the rise in commodity prices is what is pushing emerging markets higher. The top ten holdings in ZEM are large , well known corporations like Samsung. Only 7% of the holdings are in basic materials. Are there any emerging market ETFs that would help me to participate more in the commodity price reflation?

Q: Looking for your thoughts on this company as I see only one recent question. Appears to be thinly traded. Would this be due to insider ownership? Would the ownership holding fairly tight be a positive sign? Time to start chipping away? Would a change of the year end have any influence in the short term moving forward? I see they mention this alines with other parent companies

Q: Hi 5i, I can see all these institutions have a all-in-one ETFs, for an RRSP account, is it the way to go for someone who is looking for stability.
Place 45% BAL, 45% GRO, and 10% Stocks (LSPD, SHOP, GOOGL, AMZN, etc).
Thank you!

Q: I recently got a notice saying this ETF was changing it's name and underlying index. The index it will follow after March 24 is the "MSCI Global Environmental Select Index".

I was able to find data on the "MSCI Global Environmental Index" but not the".... Select Index" I was hoping maybe your sources have this information. I'd like to know what the holding are.

Cheers

Q: With gold lagging as bitcoin continues towards the heavens, with someone with the common sense of a Josh Brown as well as the mavens of Berkshire selling their Barrick, with a spike in long term rates and a weaker US dollar, and finally with a potential breakdown in gold being close according to technical analysts I've heard, what is your opinion on 1. where the price of gold might be headed over the rest of 2021 and 2. whether the strength of its hedging power may be waning and 3. whether your opinion that bitcoin needn't be part of a portfolio has changed and 4. whether perhaps a move into a combination of silver and some crypto might provide a better portfolio hedge at this time versus gold. Thanks as always for your thoughts - Ken
