Q: My portfolio tracking analysis suggested I purchase fixed income assets - as much as 30 percent. Do you have any suggestions where to start - as I’ve always traded in equities. Are there corporate bonds I should purchase if so what timeline? Or simply ETFs which would be preferred and which ones?

Q: Happy New Year to all the 5i team!

Question for you: should we be adding to ILF for emerging market exposure? It's dropped the past year with most everything else but is paying a monster dividend now (like 12.7 % going off of trailing year's payments). Am I missing something?

Should we be looking at something like ZEM instead?

Thanks!

Q: Hi team,

Looking for strong growth names in my tfsa, I have been considering cheap stocks with potential. An alternative approach would be to look at names which have been doing very well this year and which still have momentum and potential. Grateful for your comments and some names which have wind in their sails.

Q: What does most companies do with the excessive cash they have on hand. I know dividends and share buybacks are common. I'm wondering if they are allowed to invest it in other stocks or assets. Right now, could be a huge opportunity just like after the 2008 financial crisis.

Q: Wesdome has been trading more or less sideways since early September and does not seem to be participating much in the current uptrend for gold equities that started early November.

I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts about its recent performance and whether your views of it for 2023 have changed any since the last time you were asked to comment.

Thank you, and my best wishes to you and the team for the holiday season!

Marc.

Q: QYLD writes calls options ATM on "100% of assets" wich means on all NASDAQ index or all assets ? I seems to me impossible and much to risky to sell call options on 100% of the NAV of the fund( since they could have to sell all of the fund eventually ..) but it would be logical for me to sell call options on a certain % of all the NASDAQ index (a % on 100% of NASDAQ 100 stocks)! I read that this % was 2%,but I found nothing about this point on global X website except this "calls on 100% of assets"...Did I misunderstand the whole principle of this fund ? thanks for explanations

Q: Can I please get your opinion on the consumer cyclical company Traeger Inc. (COOK). Since its IPO in 2021 it has declined close to 90%. Normally this trend would not appeal to me but I do find it interesting the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan is the largest shareholder. What do you think of this company after a year of being public and do you think it has any prospects? If you are not in favor of this company, can you suggest some other consumer cyclical names in the US that would think highly of? Portfolio analytics suggests I should increase my consumer cyclical weighting.

Q: Could you please share 5 to 7 US growth names you would be comfortable with buying today? Are there any names that you were comfortable with early in the year that you would be less comfortable with moving forward? (For ex: ROKU, or APPS).
