Q: I currently hold these ETF's in a RESP. I have only XIC ,ZNQ and IWO at a 11% weight , would you be comfortable bringing them up to 15-20% each ?

Is there any other ETF you would add ?I am looking at XAW.

Thanks

Q: Good morning 5i
I have held sis for quite awhile, hopeful that its emphasis on the demographic situation would pay off. It does seem to be getting better but as a small cap it doesn’t have the umph that i was hoping for. I have lately been reconsidering my portfolio, anyway and wondering whether i should abandon that hope sell sis and buy something like wsp global or adt, which is down. That way i am leaving behind the risk of a small cap stock, getting possibly more stability in my portfolio and with these two stocks, the possibility of a decent gain. I have a well balanced portfolio, so difference in sector is not a problem
Thanks for your great service for us all

Q: HMAX's dividend has been slowly declining since the ETF's inception in 2023. Please offer an explanation for the decline, as well as provide your thoughts on the size of the dividend going forward. This is one of the few investments I hold strictly for the income stream and, if the dividend is likely to continue trending down, I will be moving on. Thank you.

Q: I am having trouble with the Return of Capital(ROC) concept in non-registered accounts. Seems like a losing situation as your adjusted cost base is reduced by the ROC leaving you to pay or lose a greater amount, even tho it is a capital gain and not interest. Also a ROC is my original capital that I already paid tax on. Double taxation?? Please explain as simply as possible tho I know you are not tax experts. Thanks

Q: I have a total of 27% in technology and wonder if best to decrease this as I do not have consumer staples or consumer cyclical stocks. I am thinking of selling of GIB.A and CLBT. Would you sell these 2 stocks to bring the weight down or best to just trim some off the stocks listed. This is for a RRSP and I am more growth oriented.
