Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: As a snowbird I am looking for an investment vehicle with high income paid in USD and have identified these two. I can handle some risk and a degree of leverage but it is not required. Are these two appropriate ; which would you recommend ; are there others I should look at ? Is their unit price quoted in CDN or US dollars ?
Thanks. Derek.

Q: Good morning 5i
In a recent very popular question, judging by the up votes, you gave a number of equities that you would recommend for a TFSA:
SHOP, TRI, BN, GLXY, SLF, AEM, PNG, EIF, CLS, TD

Like many others, i am always interested in tweaking my TFSA and so I wondered about your answer. Tri, BN, SLF and TD seem to me solid, 10 star companies. But i wondered about putting Shop, Cls, glxy, pyng etc into this account. To my mind they don’t seem any where near the blue chip quality of the previous mentioned stocks. I know that to make money in a TFSA that you have to take some risk. But are these too risky for such an important account ?

I am not saying that they shouldn’t be in there. But, perhaps I am just nervous because they are relatively new and unproven over a long period.
So, i would be interested in hearing what level of confidence you would have in them. And related to that, what weight you would give them?

Could you also add HOOD to the mix and your level of confidence in a TFSA
Thanks for this great service

Q: Good afternoon,
Very curious on your thoughts regarding Alaris' latest investment. Mostly preferreds at high rates, and some common. Sounds like a Berkshire-type of deal, with the preferreds playing such a large role. Seems out of the ordinary for them -- from my limited knowledge -- and does it de-risk the units somewhat, or add to the risk.
Thank you as always

Q: We have $50,000 we want to invest and leave alone for 3-5 years. We understand there is a good chance of a market correction, and unknown market volatility the next couple years. Would you suggest putting it into an ETF, and if so, can you give us 3 or 4 names to consider?
Or, a couple sectors, with company names, to purchase shares in. Thank you.

Q: I often hear of companies being bought out. My question is on ZDC. Being a rapidly growing company, who could possibly buy them out if so? and what would a buy out mean to shareholders, and what would profits look like considering past history of companies being acquired? Thank you
