Q: Rebalancing my portfolio vs risk for a young retired.
My portfolio consist in 23% bond ETFs, 37% US, 11% International, no emerging market and 29% Canada. I am ready to take on some EEM. What would be your allocation of funds from here? All current assets would trigger capital gains excepts for bunds which I wouldn't touch and may raise the amount over time. I may take 6 months to do part of the allocation due to capital gains tax hit.
Thank you for your precious advise over the years you have been a tremendous help to grow my portfolio and help navigate dangerous times.

Q: There is a lot of bullishness on LNG the last year or more. I read recently about China, and a glut of LNG developing in the international markets. I don't see anything with how it may effect Canadian LNG markets. Could you comment on this and are you still bullish on LNG going forward. Do you see Tou.ca and Arc.ca as buys and what effects could the Global markets have on them. Thanks so much.

Q: I have been doing monthly periodic purchases of VGG since January 2025. I clearly picked wrong (as usual) and should have gone with VHG (hedged version). I continue with monthly periodic purchases (even though my investor fear says not too), but should I switch and start purchasing VGH instead ? Am I cancelling out any future returns by doing so ?

Q: Oops sorry about that. The correct symbol is ECAT . And the question is as follows ......

" Saw a question on ECAT the other day. Just trying to figure out exactly what it is and what type of market will affect it's price ..... I realize it is made up of both security and debt but don't really understand the structure of the product { but that juicy 22.28% yield is attractive } Could 5i explain the structure in detail and what market conditions will affect the price both up and down ? And assign a risk factor with one being a UMAX and ten being a YTSL ? .... Thanks for your terrific service "

Q: Can you please discuss NVDA moving forward? I can’t help but notice you recommended them noticeably more in the past. Are you less interested in NVDA, or is it simply the added AI competition now in the market? It is up just shy of 10% the past 12 months, which is significantly lower than its historical run. Is it slowing down to the point of trimming? Taking profits ? Selling? Or simply buying more?

Thanks so much

As you notice, some of the ETF posted are all U.S, companies in the case of XHY and NHYB, they both are mainly Bonds or gvt.Bonds,how tariff could affect the two.?

Thanks again to the team
