Q: It seems possible that interest rates will be higher for longer, triggering flat or recessionary economy. How would you assess prospects for these 3 fintechs in this environment. Are there any that are vulnerable?

Q: I was having coffee with a friend of mine yesterday and he had mentioned these products which seem to use leverage 1 for 1 for example in stocks and bonds or stocks and futures. Can you give me a quick overview and your gut feeling on these type of ETF's, it looks like the history is extremely limited and I don't quite understand how these work.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

In an answer to a recent question about HESM, you stated:

"HESM is a US limited partnership, and has VERY onerous tax implications for Canadians..."

Is there a website that maintains an up-to-date list of US limited partnership stocks with additional tax implications for Canadian investors?

Thanks in advance for your always helpful advice!

Q: The PE for this stock currently is around 43 and analysts are forecasting 30.5%/yr. growth in earnings over each of the next 5 years. Everything I read suggests this mag 7 stock is poised to go up and do phenomenal. To grow EPS 30.5%/yr for each of the next 5 years seems extremely optimistic to start with but even if it does the PEG ratio is 1.41 which suggests over valuation. The other mag 7 stocks with the exception of NVDA have much lower EPS growth rates at 20% max and dropping from there. How can one rationalize buying this stock now. Thank you. John

Q: Could you please add FGRO ETF to your database.
I understood these 5 ETF's would have similar price performance but FGRO and TGRO outpace the other three for the last 3 Years. ZGRO, XGRO and VGRO pretty much have the same performance. Can you help explain why FGRO and TGRO have significantly outperformed the three?

Q: Hello, I would like to have your opinion on XHAK. I have been looking at buying a cybersecurity stock for some time, trying to decide between Palo Alto and Crowdstrike and some others. Could this ETF be a way in the sector? Looking at the portfolio, it includes some cos that don’t seem to be directly involved in cybersecurity, though. Not sure why these are included in this ETF… Thanks

Q: Hi,
On September 4 in an answer to Ritwick's question, you said: "BCE did not cut its dividend in other times of crisis...".

I thought BCE cut its dividend by about half in 2008. It did raise the dividend again to previous trend levels in the subsequent year(s).

I vaguely recall at the time that the 2008 dividend cut was quite a dramatic move for a "widows and orphans' stock and of course no one could predict at the time the dividend would be reinstated the next year.

Cheers, Michael
