Q: Hello 5i team,

My 33 year old son is looking at rebalancing. He has a defined benefit pension. He would like to use VTI and VXUS for non cad exposure. What percentage would you propose for cad, Vti and Vxus? And is there any ETFs that trade in canada that you would consider replacements of those two?

Thanks for all you do!

Wes

Q: Hello,

Thank you for getting back to me regarding my inquiry about MIC:US. I'm however unclear from your answer if your advice to anyone currently holding shares in the firm would be to continue holding, to sell their shares or to purchase additional shares?

If you'd please provide your best advice (Hold, Sell or Buy) for MIC:US, that would be appreciated.

Thank you

Q: Can you recommend a safer play in the Health Care space than tCOV and GUD? I'm invested in two health care ETFs (CSH and NWH) but I'm holding these for the dividends rather than growth.
Are there ETFs you think look promising that focus on the Health Care space? I have about one full position to add to the Health Care industry.
Thanks!

Q: TUSK has been devastated this year with the fracking industry not doing well and there Cobra division that repaired the power grid in Puerto Rico after huricane maria winding up operations. Cobra is embroiled in allegations of corruption in gaining the contracts in Puerto Rico and therefore are still owed about $150 million by the power authority in Puerto Rico (PREPA). TUSK seems confident they will get paid in full. Everything as been going wrong but today the stock jumped 27% on large volume. I can find no news on this unfollowed US company (not followed in Canada). Perhaps you have some news access that can shed some light on the huge move. 3quarter results are released on Nov 7th.
