Q: With your portfolio analytics you mention in some answers that it will also track portfolios. I'm just trying to grasp to what level. Could this be a replacement for say Yahoo finance, where it would be our go to daily portfolio tracker for up to date gains/losses on holdings, portfolio performance (yearly included), also since most of us will have tfsa, resp, rrsp, non reg holdings, will it give overall performance of all combined? Thanks,

Q: On Portfolio Analytics, if my understanding is right, you screen all portfolios (TFSAs, RRIFs, US accounts and etc.) then make a total evaluation of the entire portfolios together.

Q: Hello and congratulations on the new portfolio analytics roll out. I have started to enter my data. I notice the system allows Unregistered, RESP, RIFF, RRSP and TFSA. I have a LIRA should I enter this with my other RRSP holdings? I am also wondering about my wife's accounts. Should I lump them in with my holdings or is there a way to separate them? Thanks as always

Q: Your new portfolio analysis tool sounds perfect for me. I am my own advisor (with help from 5i). So I have signed up. I wonder how I should approach the questionnaire on what my risk level is. For our RRSP’s I am a conservative income seeking investor. For TFSA I am a growth investor. In a smaller non registered account an aggressive growth investor. I should add I have a very good defined pension.

Q: Hi there 5i. With a pending takeover; I am wondering if there is an opportune time to sell my shares in GS or if I should hang onto them in the event there is an increase in value or a trade off in shares of the buyer, or are there other options? I am currently down approx. 13%. Thank You so much for your excellent service. Glynn

Q: What is your view on the VNR takeout. Seems to me there could be a good chance for a rival bid as the premium is not huge and there has been considerable corporate activity(buyouts ect.) in the North American utility space. Do you expect this is a done deal OR potential bidding war?

Q: Sorry for this repeat question. I have a bunch of cash in CAN and US dollar accounts that I want to be more productive and I cannot find the right ticker symbols.

Last year there were several question/answers regarding money markets from TD Waterhouse for both countries. Are you able to find
those ticker symbols?

Q: I currently have 20% fixed income in my portfolio. 10% is laddered GICs and the other 10% is in ZAG ETF. I'd like to add another 5% to fixed income and was wondering if you think XIG would be a good source as it adds some US exposure and a slightly higher yield. How risky would it be? Or do you have other suggestions? Please note that I am not interested in junk bonds.
