Q: I have a position in my US dollar rrsp account in HACK and read of the management issues currently in litigation. What would you suggest regarding this holding - is it a buy sell or hold and what are your views concerning this issue. Is this likely to adversely affect this ETF longer term. I appreciate your thoughts on whether I ought to hang in or otherwise. Thanks so much.

            Q: What percentage would you put into each of ZWA (hedged) and ZWH (unhedged), for long term, as a rule of thumb, without knowing the rest of one's portfolio, but figure it's a reasonable percentage of one's U.S. component. Thanks for your advice.
        
    
            Q: As an additional comparison to my question of jan.11 re: xtr and zmi do you feel plv would be a better  long term hold with more upside potential  considering the payout is much more in line with a sustainable payout with maybe not having to rely on roc to meet the higher payout s of the xtr and zmi ? Also  would  consider any of these to be overvalued and or should an investor wait out a market correction? Thank you kindly Larry

            Q: I currently bought Enbridge and would like to buy either WCP or RRX ,should I buy  both or just one? My Enbridge is 4% weight in my account so if I buy both at a 2.5 % weight then I will be up to 9% and would this be too much for this sector?  
Thanks

            Q: I am overweight in a bank stock and will be selling some and since I have no bonds I am wondering if okay to just buy XHY as it would be a 5% position. This is for a RRSP account and not needed for at least 5-7 years. 
Thanks

            Q: Hi Peter and 5i staff,
I have a portfolio of Canadian stocks with reasonable sector weightings. If I were to add an ETF like VFV comprising of US Stocks, my weightings would seem quite high in many of the sectors. Do I need to re-balance ?
Thanks for all the great advice.

I bought gud at just over $10. Being at 7.92 right now and 3% of my portfolio do you think it’s a good time to average down and increase holding to 5%? Or would you view that as too much of a position?

            Q: I hold the above mentioned securities in my total portfolio. Some positively,some negatively affected by rising interest rates. Group one (5%)-cpx,Enb& AD.   Group two (3.4%)-Reits cuf &  kmp . Group three (7.4%)- zpr & Ecn.pr.a
My plan reduce positio in group one esp. Enb and use proceeds to buy cpd.a my concern with cpd.a is fees totaling 2%. Also when purchasing this security there appears to be a trailer fee attached as indicted when I attempted to make a trade. Your opinion please.

            Q: 5i has pointed to RPI.un as a way to play the online shopping and package shipping theme. I’ve been very happy with this high-yielding, thin-trading  stock since late 2013, but am wondering if there is any particular reason it is up sharply today. I couldn’t find any news and trading volume is not offering any clues.
