Q: Hi Guys,
I'm a little disappointed in the fact that you do not promote the forum section of the site all that much.
I believe the questions about the Globe & Mail should have all been directed to the forum.
The only way the Forums will work is if more members participate.

Thanks for listening.
John

PS. Make public if you think it will help.

Q: Hi 5i team,
What are the equivalents to VEE in the Canadian ETF landscape?

Are there others that pay a better dividend?

Thanks,
Andrew

Q: Would now be a good time to take a long term position in ZWU for the covered call yield and some safety? Or does the sector rotation, rising interest rate potential and this news on MLP pipelines I don't fully understand mean perhaps wait a week or two as it might soften more?

Q: KMB’s shares keep declining. It just raised its dividend by 3.1%. On financial websites financial ratios differ significantly-- ODD. One premium site depicts ROE at over a thousand % ! Yahoo shows ROE at > 400% . Could be function of ROBO-Analysis (?). So, what do you see for PEG, ROE, div payout , FCF and debt?

KMB’s sales are down and yes it says it faces higher input costs. But are there OTHER contributing factors to the continuing decline in share price?
I do not want to fall into errors like the one I made on another long-distance P&G where I am down 30%.
Is KMB worth buying now at these better prices? Does risk-reward make sense here? What do you think of KMB’s prospects? Would you buy , if only as a bond proxy? If you have suggestions for some other reliable dividend growers , I would appreciate names.

Q: Could you suggest a way to short FAANG stocks with a 1 to 2 year time frame?
Thank you.

Q: Is THOR suitable for a conservative VALUE investor interested in SOME sales and dividend growth? Is debt manageable and is cash flow good? Financial data and ratios point to good value? I was puzzled to see share price down 2.5% today on no news--- one possible reason is aluminum tariffs (?). Tariffs I thought were on hold for now, except for China imports. But Thor would not have to rely on China for aluminum? Do you see the economy reasonably strong for non-essential products like those of Thor?

Q: Gentlemen,
Can you please explain the swap fee on HXS (no more than 0.30%), in which situation this fee will be added.
Thanks

Q: comment re; G &M watchlist. I am able to access the new "improved" watchlist. You do need to log in again with your password, possibly forgotten, but I agree that the "improved"version is definitely much less useful than the old one. They are trying to get all of us who're using free tools to subscribe.

Q: Hello 5i,
With K92 mining now a producer, how does its valuation compare with other similarly sized producers? Should we expect growth in the coming year? (even if gold stays in the same price range) Thanks!

Q: I have been reasonably successful this year by carrying a large porfolio of stocks, no 1 very large position just because I THINK THE STOCK looks favourable Do you have sort of a rule of them as to when you might exit, subtract, or add to? thanx PS DO YOU EVER HAVE ANY LEARNING SEMINARS?

Q: Gentlemen,
I want to report a bug on questions, as another subscriber reported the same problem. I paid attention to check if my question is public.
2 of my questions were not private but published as private.
Thanks

Q: Is Maxar Tech still worth holding? Not sure when to throw in the towel on this one.
Thanks

Q: I own both for stable income, but I need to sell one to raise some cash. Which would you keep for the long term, and why?

Q: Hi 5i thanks for the great service. I am thinking about a long term play on water and would like you opinion on some ways to play it? Some company suggestions would be nice and what do you think of this iShares etf?

Thanks for the great service

Q: Can I have your thoughts on NWC's earnings? Seems like hurricane aftermath and US tax changes are a drag.

Q: CASA listed just 3 mths ago & already doubled.
Would you have any info?

Q: Hi wanting to build a income portfolio using etfs which ones would you use thanks

Q: Income Portfolio: Of all the stocks in your income portfolio, which are the best buys right now, for a long term hold. And, are there others you also recommend?
Yields over 4% are preferred, and some dividend growth.

Q: I read in a previous post that you favored HPR and ZPR over CPD (Sept 18, 2017) because of the rate reset. I am currently adding to my fixed income and would it be a good strategy to add 50 / 50 ZPR and CPD for the preferred portion ?
(I also own a larger position in CBO).

Also, do you recommend adding a convertible bond etf (CVD or other) for diversification purposes ? Thank you for your comments.
