Q: Is it time to sell Qualcomm now or wait until the sale goes through - if it does? Apparently if the sale goes through the value per share is $70.
I am down 12.5% and I have been under water 3 years now. .
It pays 3.55% so I COULD hold if that is the best strategy .

Q: Hi 5i:
For a first time investor with $25,000 to deploy and this is their only investments. What would your opinion be on the above etfs basically equally split between them. Time frame is long term and they would be in a TFSA.
Additional future investments would then be in individual stocks.
Thanks so much.

Q: Hello

I have been holding on to Wells Fargo for the last few years and unfortunately have missed the run up with the other US banks. Its currently in my TFSA, I've been considering selling and purchasing BAC or JPM. Which one would you recommend, is there still some upside? Etrade Financial (although more online trading platform) is another option, what are your thoughts?

Thanks!
