Q: Person A has rode cyclical stocks up and then down. What advice would you provide if he is thinking of taking profit from selling his XGD ETF that he has been holding for hedging against inflation?
Thank you.

Q: Do you think Nutrien's management has lost its way? It seems to be groping around for a strategy in South America, and is having a lot of top management turnover. Molson got badly burned in Brazil years ago because they didn't understand the Brazilian market; is the same thing happening to NTR?

Q: Can you comment on the recent price performance and outlook for Medpace’s?

Q: Contemplating buying into VRT or Uber for a three to five year hold. Which would you suggest and why?

Q: Is there a free website that you can provide where one can see the historical p/e ratios of publicly-traded corporations?

Q: I'm a 65 year old div investor with a defined pension. I'm investigating the BMO covered Call Health Care ETF (ZWHC) as a way to play the Health Care Sector as there is not much available in Cdn. I have a question on the cost of this ETF. The fact sheet states Max annual management fee of .65% and then it says an MER of .73%.
Do I add the two % up to equal 1.38% or would I just pay the MER of .73%?
I hold WELL (hoping for growth) but have been waiting quite awhile and nothing much seems to happen. I'm down (-26%). Its been good if you bought lately but if you bought back during COVID, not so much.
I know you still recommend it so should I hope for the best and wait awhile longer (hope not being much of an investment strategy) or move on? VHI seems to be moving better? Appreciate your thoughts.

Q: Hi team,

Looking for strong growth in the health sector.

Do you think OSCR-N, RXST-Q, VHI-T and National Health Care are the best options for the purpose ? And what is the level of risk ?

Please deduct as many credits as you see fit.

Gratefully,

Jacques IDS

Q: Can I get your take on this micro cap please. They seem to be doing well. What do you think of the valuation / opportunity given the inherit small cap risks?

Q: Hi 5i In a registered account
I've held TXF, TXF.B and HTA for quite a while, all at roughly the same cost base. In terms of total return HTA at 52% has outperformed TXF (10.3%) and TXF.B (38%) substantially, although I've got no real complaints about TXF.B's performance.
TXF and TXF.B have the same portfolio holdings, so I assume the vast difference in total return between them is solely due to hedging.
My questions;
Based on your view of the foreseeable future, do you think TXF.B will continue to substantially outperform TXF based on US vs. CDN currency differences? and
Would you endorse selling TXF and putting the proceeds 50/50 into HTA and TXF.B or in some other proportion? (TXF.B and HTA have quite different holdings so I was thinking that splitting TXF proceeds between them rather than all into HTA might be sensible ...).
Thanks - I look forward to your thoughts.
