Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I am looking to get some exposure to the health care sector and thought I would look at an ETF as opposed to a single company. I'm considering either XLV or IHI and would like your opinion of these two ETFs, and which you would prefer. I would be adding the ETF as a full position in my RRSP.

Also, if there is another ETF that you prefer over these two, please include that in your response.

thanks for your insight

Q: Hi 5i
Are there any/many companies in your portfolios that you consider "on a short leash" ? I am thinking of my own specifically with TSGI, COV and VB (VB only as I'm high on the financials side and VB is just quietly meandering).
Would you consider my list and provide an opinion of how many Qtrs would seem reasonable for my "short leash" list ?

Thanks
Mike

Q: I've owned this one for quite a while; however, it is a very complex organism as witnessed when I do my income tax return every year. I realize that this position should have been in a registered account. My question: is this still a good solid holding? They just reported with low EPS per unit; but, it looks like FFO was very good and carries more weight than EPS does for a regular company.

Q: It appears that this is a trading market as I FIND VERY DIFFICULT to hold for long term when market goes down at a very high speed than when it goes up.How do we convince our self to hold some stocks like SIS,mx and it keeps going down? Do you think I need to read some books to educate myself or do you agree with me,May be buy and hold was right thing to do but not in this time when president's tweet makes the market,Lot of things changed with time may be its time to change buy &hold for long term,If I had no 5i advice I would have lost a lot,I do appreciate your opinion a LOT

Q: PIF has taken it on the chin in the last coupld of days. The only news I see is the final cancellation of the proposed Nicaraguan canal project. Do you see other news that relates to the company? Is the cancellation of the Nicaraguan canal actually germaine to the situtation for PIF or is this just a case of long-distance investors getting jittery on any local bad news? Thaqnk-you.

Q: I bought MFI for a variety of shorter term and medium term reasons including African swine flu in China and Asia affecting the price of pork and their aggressive move into plant protein seemingly still at an opportune time overall. The recent earnings seem to confirm not only this, but very good news overall for an otherwise steady eddy type business. Long intro I know, but how do you see earnings and the outlook overall for a longer term hold? Thank-you.
