Q: Hi 5i team,

What would be your current 5 best (highest conviction) buys in each of the following categories please.
1. small cap
2. mid cap
Hold target is 3-10 years or longer.
I prefer these categories as they seem to have the most torque (in the right environment) albeit also the most risk.


Cheers,
Steve

Q: I need to increase my international exposure. My plan is to accomplish this through ETFs held in a non-registered account.

1) Can you please recommend two ETFs to achieve international exposure.

2) As a member of BMO Investorline I can access commission free ETFs and I am considering vanguard's VI ETF to increase international exposure. What are your thoughts on this ETF and how does it compare versus the ETFs recommended as part 1 of this question?

Thanks!

Q: Retired relying solely on my public pensions. Have held DIR.UN for a long time. Just read your latest report. ACB is $3.27 after the ROCs. I hold 2700 units in TFSA which I am orienting towards a growth portfolio instead of income. Would you agree this equity is a candidate to move to my balanced cash account before year end to give it a higher ACB, continue to hold and maybe even add to it?
