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 interested in the purchasing Horizon Benchmark ETFs, such as HXS because of the tax advantages. The MER is reasonable at .11% but they charge a swap fee of .30%. I assume that the swap fee added to the MER makes the total fee .41%. This would mean that from a fee perspective VFV is more attractive with an MER of .08%. Given the importance of low fees on total returns will VFV outperform HXS over the long run?

Q: Hello team,

I read somewhere that in the gold rush, those who sold shovels, pickaxes, rented mules, etc. made the most money.

Could you please suggest a couple of US or Canadian companies which are doing the same for marijuana growers?

I appreciate it if you can comment on their debt level and management and whether or not you recommend any for purchase at this time.

Thanks a lot, as always!

Q: I have this name from previous investment letter that I used to follow, and I don't anymore. It has run up quite nicely in the last little bit. It is US Bank, I know that isn't your specialty. Is there a compelling reason to hold longer or is it time to take some profits.

I believe that my Allocation to financials will be fine if I sell. Any particular area in US except Tech that you would put money towards. I can just do a broad market ETF as well.

As always thanks for the great advice.
