Q: Can you please recommend where to safely park CAD and USD; with the highest yield? I have been using CASH.TO (Yield 2.33% as of February 20) or CBIL.TO (Y 2.42%) for CAD and UBIL.U.TO (Y 4.08%) for USD.
Our BNS portfolio manager recently put some cash into the following mutual funds:
BNS Investment Savings Account Series F U$(DYN6005:CA)
BNS INVESTMENT SAVINGS ACCOUNT SR F (6004). Can you please tell me how frequently the latter two savings accounts pay out interest and what is the current yield for each? I could not find any information online for these BNS savings mutual funds.
Thanks!

Q: I need some consumer discretionary for my RRIF. I want to minimize market surprises so I've chosen these two. Both have great dividend history and OK 5 year CAGR. The RIF is not my primary source of income but I do find dividends to be a help when getting over rough patches. Which would you choose for a long term hold. Or perhaps both? Any other choices? Thank You

Q: I read that the Federal Gov't approved the deal between companies. Any other news regarding money between the 2 companies. Maybe I missed the news. When do they report financials.Tks 5i

Q: What option would you suggest to pursue to gain additional exposure to technology within a portfolio? I currently only own QQQ in USD registered account.

1) just add more to QQQ at the current exchange rate
2) diversify and add XIT
3) diversify and add both XIT and CSU at 50/50 (understanding XIT owns approximately 23% of CSU already)
4) none of the above, try an alternative (e.g. QQQM)

Q: I am retired and investing for income. I have recently been learning what I can of split corportions. I came across Ninepoint's Large Cap split corp. It is not very old and all I can find so far is flashy sales but not much detail.

Please provide your thoughts on Ninepoint Patners management and comment on NPS specifically.

Thank you.

Q: I see that GSY stock to a big drop today. The stock is now reaching a very strong support level at about $100. Is this now a buying opportunity? Is it better to wait for the Q4 results?
Thanks John.

Q: AI Infrastructure. If you can just buy one, would you buy IREN or NBIS and why (3 quick and simple reasons) ? Is value factoring into your decision ?

Q: Morning 5i!!!

Are APP and CRWD becoming a buy here, although we may drift a little lower on sentiment? Anything you like or don’t on them in the current state?

Q: Thank you for your answer to the question (copied below) that I asked a few days ago.

I wasn't so much asking about my own strategy, but whether you think such a strategy (moving some money out of tech and into the broader market) is a good move in the current climate.

NVDA and GOOG are part of the same theme. Do you think these are winners to be held on to, or whether trimming a bit to put in the broader market would be wise?


Question: Given that the market is broadening out and that I would like my portfolio to follow suit, I am thinking of switching half of my money in XUU, a market-cap weighted fund which makes up about 10% of my portfolio, to EQL, an S&P equal-weighted fund.

What would your opinion be on that?

Also, along the same line of thought, I'm considering trimming NVDIA and GOOG although the mere mention of it has my investing friends screaming "NO!". They understand the sentiment but think it's not the right time.

Answer: We think XUU is a solid fund, but if diversiifcation is a goal then we think EQL makes good sense. For example, XUU currently is about 42% tech. EQL is barely at 10%.

Q: Hi team,
Is gsy tanking today from trumps tariff uncertainty? Or is the late earnings date release now of concern? Many growth names are again in free fall today I am assuming must of it is back to trade uncertainty and again software sell off.

Thanks

Q: Good Morning Team 5i & Everyone,

Do I have this right? The cybersecurity sector is selling off because of the fear that AI will eat their businesses? I’ve heard that Claude has the ability to scan databases for vulnerabilities and suggest targeted software patches for human review, allowing teams to find and fix issues that traditional tools miss. What I don’t understand is why Crowdstrike and the rest wouldn’t just use the same AI or some clone of Claude to make themselves even better at cybersecurity? Can you flush this topic out for me if you’re able to please? I’d like to understand the bear and bull case going forward.

Thank you very much & hope you have a nice weekend,

Sandra
