Q: If you were to consider 5 sector ETFs based on current price and future prospects, what would they be?

Please recommend your favourite ETF for each on the TSX unless it's only available in USD.

Would the beaten down USA sector (eg. XUU) be part of your thinking?

Q: Dear 5i team.

In a cleanup, what order would you sell these in?
Which of them are bankruptcy candidates in the foreseeable future if you had to venture an educated guess.

After watching XBC go bankrupt, these penny stocks seem destined for the same result.


Many thanks for your help.

Q: I've been watching ECN over the past little while through 5i and note that they seem to be one of your favourite companies due to strong mgt. Noted your answers to some questions on Jan 24/25 and you felt that they have strong upside potential over the next 12-24 months. How risky would you say an investment in ECN is....say relative to a company like GSY? Thank you.

Q: I purchased AT at just over $8 for my TFSA slightly more than a couple of years ago and am down >70% since. It would need to appreciate by >350% to get me back to break-even. I have a long timeframe but given that - aside from the 6 month period between about Aug/20 and Feb/21 when the share price ramped up exponentially - AT’s historical price stays put in the +/- $2.50 price range, do you see any realistic probability of AT appreciating by magnitudes of order over the course of the next couple of years? I wouldn’t think even a buy-out/take over would provide that kind of premium. It just seems like dead money for the foreseeable future. I know you can’t personalize advice but in a similar situation (eg Growth Model Portfolio) would you take your lumps and move on or would you be inclined to continue to hold and, if so, for how long? Thanks.

Q: Saw Andrew Moffs on BNN Monday discussing REITs and Real Estate companies. Looking for a 2nd opinion on these 8. Maybe just a ranking from 1 to 8 in order of preference for a long term hold. Yield doesn't matter, looking for best total return. Which ones look buyable at this time?

Q: Hi 5i
For income and some growth, I continue to hold Fidelity Asset Allocation Private Pool Series F8 (374), in a corporate account. It is the only investment in the account. I have two questions.

1) In your opinion is this still a good choice?
2) Could you suggest an alternative to replace part or all of FID374?

Thank you, Bill
