Q: Assisting a family member looking to start new RRSP with a 20 year time frame. They are looking for lower risk growth ideas. Can you provide 2 or 3 ETF's that could be suitable options? I was considering VGRO as an option. Also, with no commission fess (WealthSimple) would you support dollar cost average purchases (ie monthly)?
Thank you

Q: Would much appreciate your analysis of this new US covered call ETF from JP Morgan. Is any part of the monthly dividend return of capital? Any cautions here or would you say this is a reasonable diversified covered call ETF with a steady monthly income stream at a reasonable MER? Lastly any similar US ETF you'd prefer instead? Thank you very much - Ken

The above companies came up as buys in my weekly scans. There have been no questions asked about them. They are all small cap companies, involved in gold, fluorspar and cannabis. Please provide your thoughts on each one.
Thanks

Q: I have a question about 89568
Do you know if Fulgent is actively working on growing it's biotech testing such as for immunotherapy? Looking at long term growth of this field it is going to be a huge field and companies such as Icon are already well off to the races in this field and I'm looking for alternate companies that specialize in testing and right now this company gets a lot of press on it's COVID testing only.

Q: Brunswick I think is a pandemic and recovery play? Things look good to me and the stock is acting very well. Wondering in general how to determine when it’s time to sell? Do I just go by earnings every quarter? But sometimes a miss could be from a one time issue. Brunswick, buy sell or hold pls?

Q: I have held IIP.un for about 9 month. Following some declines (story of my life) and then periods of stable value, the stock has been increasing nicely in the last couple of months and I am now up about 15%. Do you see continuing increases for IIP.un or will it flat line after this recent run? The other day a BNN guest suggested that TCN would be better than IIP.un, going forward. What do you think about a switch? Of the 2, which would be a stronger, more secure holding. Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: In my RRSP I would like to take a long term, very low maintenance approach. For this reason I have it all in index funds. I have a 30 plus year time horizon. Which funds would you recommend here? I currently have $60,000 invested in VFV, VUN, VGRO and XAW. Looking to front load these with $2000/ mo for the next 3 years and then stop contributing as I will be "semi-retiring." I'm 29 for context

Q: Hi, I have owned the three big Telcos BCE, Rogers and Telus for about four years now. Since I have owned these companies Bell and Telus have raised their dividends on an annual basis and semi annual basis as is the case with Telus. However, Rogers has not raised its dividend since January 2019. Do you have any idea why Rogers does no raise their dividend as often as BCE and Telus? Also, how would you rank the three of them in terms of preference on a total return basis where 1 is the most preferred. Many thanks.

Q: I hold several ETFs ie XAW, VGRO, VBAL and I am wondering if the portfolio analytics tool breaks down these ETFs into their respective industries and geographies when you review your actual asset allocations versus the suggested allocations.
