Q: Hi,

I have a Lump sum and I have close to an equal 25/25/25/25% split for these etfs/company. because i am in my low 40s i want to make sure i get my growth somewhat better in my younger years. Do you think this would be acceptable or should i be leaning more towards a xeqt/vfv split?

Q: Can you please explain why or why not it is important to have bond funds in one's portfolio. I have been reluctant to buy as during COVID market crash my bond funds, did very poorly at a time when I thought they would provide stability. Since my fixed income was supposed to be the worry-free part of my portfolio I have not reentered bond funds and choose GICs for fixed portion. The same happened with preferred shares years ago. Why would one not just buy a bond where your principle is guaranteed if you hold until maturity? Are these bond funds doing what they are supposed to do and what are the benefits of a bond fund as opposed to just buying the bonds outright? Is money earned still taxed as interest in a a bond fund? For someone with no bond fund exposure what would you suggest?

Q: Ross Healy, who typically does not make sensational statements lightly, spooked me yesterday during a podcast interview with Amber Kanwar. He sees tech stocks dropping 60% which will invariably pull other types of stocks down for the ride. He suggests moving to gold... could you suggest a couple gold stocks with strong balance sheets? A mix of large, mid and small caps would be great. Thanks!

Q: I hold positions in all of these companies and I have some money to put into the market. Could you rate these in terms of which positions you would add to given the potential for total rate of returns given their current stock price, business model tailwinds, risk vs reward etc.

Conversely, if you would rate these as a hold then feel free to mention that as well. Thx.

Q: Hi 5i Team - I have small positions in the following three gaming sector companies: Genius Sports, Sportradar, Flutter Entertainment. Am wondering if I need to have all three of these companies and if I should consolidate into two of them. If so, which two of the three would you keep. Is there a significant difference between the three - maybe consolidation is not necessary.
As an afterthought, is Fan Duel likely to become publicly traded.
Thanks.
