Q: I am curious to hear your views on the WXM momentum ETF in the current market environment. I'm looking for an ETF to round out the portfolio and it appears to have a better balance of sectors than some other Canadian dividend and broad market products. Thank you.

Q: I was going to buy this last summer around $50 but I was scared off by a barrage vandalism,threats,fires and threats to CEO and another board member.
Looking back now with the stock at $65 and a recent divesture of waste division do you see much upside for this stock price and also do you think my concerns were paranoia or justified. Thanks

Q: Looking to increase exposure to the infrastructure theme by either adding to a 3% position in BIP or taking new position in PWR. Are they too similar to hold both or can holding both add diversification strength to a portfolio? Which one would have greater growth potential over 3-5 year timeframe? Thanks for all you do.

Q: Hello Folks,
For my TFSA( balance oriented )- I am interested in adding to either ATD or BN. All things being equal, may I have your opinion as to which one you would suggest I add to and why?

Q: Good Afternoon
Today a well known analyst predicted, in the Globe and Mail, that we could get a correction on the TSX worst than the one in 2018 when the index fell 11.64 % if Trump implements his 25% tariff.
Further, if the tariffs stay longer, a TSX loss of 35%, as we saw in 2008, is possible.
What is your reaction to these comments and what is your prediction for the TSX in 2025 ?

Q: 5i,

With the caveats of personal advice a given.

I'm short materials and under represented in the financial sector.

Would you be comfortable adding PRL and LUG at 2% positions for growth.

This is a taxable account. Thank you.

Q: Not only are preferred share ETFs seeming to hold their stability well of late but they're outperforming just about any other ETF I own, be they Canadian dividends, US tech, or international. Obviously, there's a market reason for this. Would you know it and whether it's likely to continue?

Q: Hi

My partner has funds to invest in a TFSA for a 3–5+-year hold starting now. Can you please suggest several diversified ETFs that would be worth considering both USD and CAD hedged that are likely to see growth, including any mid-cap ETFs to consider. Please also suggest any bond ETFs to consider providing balance.

Thank you for the great service!

Q: Hello 5i
I currently own CSU LMN TOI SHOP VHI (which I consider tech'ish).
Do you see a compelling reason to add any of the other tech holding from the 5i balanced or growth portfolios? Would you avoid the concentration of the CSU family in favour of others?
