Q: Hi, I am wondering about either of these as places to park some US cash for a while. Given the uncertainty in the US, would this be a wise choice? If so, which is preferable and if not, what other ETFs would you suggest? Thank you for all your good work!

Q: I own TOU and TPZ and like them both for long term holds. TOU was recently added to the 5i income portfolio. Why go with TOU as apposed to TPZ, which is more of an income structured investment. Do you feel that TOU will offer a better total long term return both with respect to their dividend and capital appreciation?

Thanks.

Q: My research points to many experts believing that the semiconductor chips will be shifting from NVIDIAs current offerings to cheaper custom silicon, setting up many of the names like AVGO, MRVL, QCOM,AMD and ARM well. Out of these names, which ones would you own, based on price and growth potential.

Are any of these resonably priced at this time and can be bought immediately or shoud I wait for a pullback.

Lastly, seems like NVIDIA has sold part of its ARM ownership today. Is ARM still a name you like and at what price level does it become a resonable buy. Thanks!!
