Q: Good morning

Given the understanding that you do not formally cover US equities. The area of cybersecurity appears to be in a strong secular uptrend given our insatiable thirst for data.
Can you give me your top three US equity ideas right now to profit from this assumption.

Thanks

Q: SYZ has been weak for the past couple of weeks. Seems to drop a bit every day, even on good market days. From recent questions and you responses, you seem to be comfortable with it and like it. Is the weakness an opportunity to acquire a full position? Is there anything that might temper this decision?

Q: Hi,
I’m looking at a long term (30 year) rrsp portfolio. What do you think of making it up of these 4 etfs? Do you think long term it’s better to have the hedged or unhedged versions (where applicable)? I’m thinking 25%vfv, 25%vef, 20%xqq and 20%vdy. Then 10% in cash for buying dips when I see them. I’ll also be using any drips (even proxy drips if needed) as well as adding new funds every 3-6 months and rebalancing annually (unless there’s some major movement before that). Do you see any areas that are too redundant or underrepresented?

Thanks

Q: I like the distribution, but this company's stock price peaked in 2015 and appears to have been going downhill ever since. It is up strongly so far this year but is there some catalyst which suggests a break from the recent past, or is it likely to continue to head downward?
