Q: Good morning,

Have you done any work on what asset classes or equity sectors significantly outperformed/underperformed while Trump was President from 2016-2020. I recall that that the USD did not do well; gold did very well.

Any views/analysis most welcome. And would you be worried about overall market directionality with his expected focus on China and tariffs?

Q: Good morning,


I am not crystal clear on the most tax efficient account to hold each of the above listed ETFs and before moving any of them to another type of account, I would very much appreciate your guidance on the most tax efficient type of account to hold each of the above listed ETFs.

The above listed ETFs are all held in our family Registered (RRSP/TFSA/RESP) and Non-Registered accounts.

Thank you and I'll await your sage advice.

Q: Sangoma stock keeps moving higher. Time to jump back in based on the valuation alone?

Q: I understand this is a new ETF issued by TD Asset Management. There is a little information on its website. I am interested in it as a short term cash management option. I could not determine the yield. If you look at the current holdings, it states over 90% is invested in other than Canada. In its top 10 it holds a number of Trusts and when you look into these they represent a range of money market investment options including car loans, credit card debt, etc. Though it states the risk is low, its holdings would seem to suggest otherwise. Firstly, can you compare TCSH yield with that of GICs or HISAs. Further, do you have an opinion of this ETF as a place to park money. If you prefer other like ETFs would you also state how you would rank them. Thank you.

Q: Just a general question on how to react in moment like we are having now; a very nice 4 month bull with some sign of top. How to respond ? Trim your winner, trim your looser or do nothing and accept a correction. Thanks !

Q: Hello Peter,
I know you have answered this about Topicus special dividend. I find it odd that in the early stages of the company's existence , it is paying out a special dividend. Could this be a sign that the company sees little appetite for acquiring companies and will focus on organic growth? What is a good etf that excludes the magnificent 7 , SPY minus magnificent 7.. Appreciate it and thanks for the service.

Q: Hi 5i Team - I have heard some concerns about other countries withdrawing money from the TSX and probably the Vancouver exchange as well. Am assuming that this is through the sale of equities and then withdrawing the proceeds. Am not sure which countries or how many. Could you comment on whether this a valid concern, and if so then how might it affect prices of Canadian equities going forward.
Thanks.

Q: HSAV returned around 5% in the last year, if interest rates going forward do the inverse of last year, is it safe to assume the return of HSAV will also?

Q: Hi Peter, I hold 60 shares of NVEI at an adjusted cost of 67.80. I know you are not a fan of averaging down but are there exceptions where you might risk averaging down and might NVEI be one of those where you make that exception or would you consider a sell here. Thanks
