Q: Happy holidays to staff and members.
Would it ever make sense for pbh to purchase gcl? Does the ownership structure of gcl make that a possibility? Gcl has such a low market cap but has significant revenue, I wonder if pbh would be able to ring value out of the company?

Robert

Q: Hello 5i,
Just wondering if there is any company specific new on BOS recent recovery or is it likely related to an industrial Trump Bump and tax loss selling recovery? Is it still worth holding on to for a higher exit price?

Q: Hi 5i team,
My US portfolio is currently about 9% and consists of GOOG, FB, SBUX, GE, MCD, PM & DEO. I want to buy ETFs to bring the % up to around 20%. In a recent newspaper article about the high valuation of US stocks and possible volatility, the author recommended ZWH and ZPW instead of buying broad base market ETF.
What are your opinions of these two ETFs? Would they be useful tool to reduce risk while still participate in the US stock market if it goes up and also earn some dividends? Which one of the two is more effective or they should be employed as a pair? Many thanks.

Q: I'm interested in buying into the utility sector through an ETF. ZUT holds Canadian stocks and has a yield of 4.98%. 99% of the distribution are eligible dividends.
ZWU holds a mix of Canadian and US stocks with about 45% each of eligible dividends and ROC along with 10% foreign income. The yield is 6.64%.
If we factor in the DTC, there's not a lot of yield difference. What are the reasons for your choice of ETFs? Thanks
