Q: It looks like lots of improvements in the Sector which small cap stocks will benefit
most?

Q: Any thoughts on the upcoming IPO for Roblox? Thanks

Q: What is your outlook for ECHELON FINANCIAL HOLDINGS? Is it worth buying here? Thanks.

Q: I own this ETF, and as with other Horizon ETFS, and it is thinly traded. Sometimes on certain days, there is no volume at all. Do you know why would this be the case?

I also notice a certain bid/ask spread with a size of 1 share on each side. Is this the ETF fund itself, trying to make a market out there?

Q: For a total investment return over a long time frame, which ETF do you think will perform better?

HCAL - Leveraged, No DRIP, 0.65 MER
RBNK - DRIP availablity, 0.33 MER

Thanks,

Q: I am an income investor who has held MFC for years. Just breaking even on price but reasonable return on dividend.

Thinking of switching to either GWO or SLF. GWO has a higher dividend but SLF may have more growth potential.

For safe sustainable retirement income what would be your preference or do you have other suggestions. I recognize that a combination of growth and income can be just as good.

Thanks,

Q: I was watching fast money while I was doing my hour cycle. What really struck me were all the special acquisition quotes I saw coming across the ticker. There must have been 5 or 6 and they were all up 10 to 50% on the day.

Now that some time has passed since ackman made a big splash with his spaq have you discovered or researched any that you like and think has a bright future as a growth investment?

Q: Hello 5i team,
Regarding REAL: you mentioned it is now a weighting decision. I am a patient investor who likes to buy quality companies while they are at bargain price. If a full position is 5% in an already diversified portfolio, up to what weighting would you recommend? What surprised (disappointed) you and the market in their quarterly results or conference call?
Thank you for your collaboration, Eric

Q: Prior to the Covid pandemic I was stockpiling cash in anticipation of a long, overdue market correction. Still buying and selling but mostly selling. I can imagine that a lot of us retirees where doing the same. Most of my portfolio I left untouched assuming yield protected it from a major downturn. Wrong!!

I never really sold but waited for the portfolio to recover as value came back in fashion. I also bought beaten down value stock (banks, insurance companies and large, unloved tech companies, etc.) as this progressed.

My question to you is this. Has my generation (approx. 140 yrs. old) stockpiled enough cash going through this to continue driving this recovery up. I suspect that this is a difficult one to answer but I didn't have anything better to do since I was dropped from the Olympic Team.

Q: Could you please comment on vital health earning report and future prospects. Is it a hold / sell / or buy more? Could you also comment dynacert hold / sell / buy more)?

Q: Hi Peter
MAWER has a new fund which is called MAWER EAFE Large Cap Fund MAW170.
It's region, weight and some of the top 25 stocks held are the same as the MAW102 International Fund and has the same manager.
If you were to buy one of these two funds which one would you buy and why?
Cheers Ron

Q: In your reply to Dan regarding Amazon and high valuations you mentioned being cautious on companies with “commodity like” businesses receiving high valuations.
Could you give a couple of examples with a couple of explanatory comments so members will have a guideline on these things and know what to watch for.
Thank You for your great service

Q: Can I get your thoughts on American real estate looking out 1-2 years. I am assuming with rates low and looking that way for a while that the market should be strong.

Q: Hi 5i, Of these ETFs will you please help me pick 3 you think had a better outlook, for a 3 years hold, I would think, now that the vaccine is ready, cloud etfs would slow down

Q: As a Pfizer shareholder I recently received 38 shares of Viatris. Reviews appear mixed on them but there is a suggestion they will soon introduce a dividend (25% FCF).
My question:.

Is Viatris viable enough to warrant adding to my position in it

Thanks
