Q: Hey there,
All of these etfs pay good dividends for a retiree. Can you compare/contrast the risks associated with each and in particular, and is there any compelling reason to switch to VRIF?

Thanks

Q: Hi, if I hold ZDV, VDY or XIC in a TFSA are there any tax implications whatsoever. Do I need to keep track of ACB? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,
In their latest quarter results, they did beat the estimates. Remdesivir is still a one of the most used drug treatment. My opinion is that it will still be continued to be used for treatment till a better one is found.
Not sure why market is not so excited about the results and future prospects. Can you clarify.
Thanks for your sound advise.

Q: Hi 5i team,
The market is seeing a rotation from tech into more value with Dow Jones going up and NASDQ dropping. To capture this sector rotation, which Canadian traded ETFs would you recommend for US companies? Would it be Dow Jones focused ETFs or value focused ETFs that will see the most gain in the next 12 months?
Please list your top picks for each. Thanks.

Q: My 40-year-old daughter has $42K in her RRSPs with Scotia Bank. Her advisor put her in two funds. BSN378 and BSN385. One is 45% invested in basically bonds and 40 Canadian stocks. The other is 12.3 % cash and 47 Canadian stocks. The exception is 2% invested in Microsoft. I assume there is a lot of duplication between the two funds investing in the same Canadian Companies. The MER is close to 2%. Apart from this being a travesty - I would like to move her into a self administered RRSP with a mix of a balanced ETF and three other stocks. She is regularly adding more money. She won't be withdrawing money from this account for at least 25 years.

Would you kindly suggest a suitable balanced ETF.

The three stocks I would suggest for a long term hold would be BAM, SHOP and ENB. Could I have your opinion or options please. Deduct as many questions as you see fit.

THANK YOU!
Bryan

Q: Could you please rank above Tech stocks in order of preference that you would purchase or hold right now. I have all except CRWD and U, but they seem to be coming up in your lists more frequently.

Q: Hi Peter,
Can I please have your view on above two stocks? I have a small position in each stock and would like to add more. What would be a good entry price on it?

Thanks,
