Q: Hello 5i team,
My portfolios are mostly stocks and with a possible recession coming next year, I would like to purchase bond ETFs for both my CDN and U.S. portfolios. At this point would you recommend long or short or ultra short ETFs? and could you suggest a couple of each ( CDN and U.S)? Thanks Carlo

Q: In my RRSP account - I am looking to add 1 more company to the above list. I am somewhat of a conservative growth investor - would like something that will increase over time yet paying respect to risk. I am looking at BIP.UN or SLF - can you provide your opinion and maybe suggest others that you feel might "fit" ? Your opinion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I see they have just reported good results and the stock has had a good run this year. So please give me your assessment. Is it too late to buy...take the money and run...or hold because there is potentially more upside?
Thanks...your professional opinion is always valuable.

Q: I have 300 shares of this stock which are now worthless. If I sell for a tax loss, do I give up my rights to any damages awarded from the class action lawsuit currently underway against the company.

In your experience what are the chances of a positive result for me from this type of lawsuit and will the per share amount of any award be worth waiting for. Thanks
