Q: It has been over a year since you were asked for an opinion on Vail Resorts, please provide us an update on its future prospects and whether you view it as a buy, hold or sell. Am thinking of swapping this for something in US consumer defensive or healthcare, such as Walmart, Costco or Pfizer, a RRIF portfolio so income and stability with steady growth are important. What do you think of this change? Which would be your first choice of the listed options? Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i, common question for you but I have very little bond exposure and was looking to start building a fixed income portfolio. Can you give me your current top 5 bond picks (assuming ETF's). This can be USA or Canada bonds.

Q: Wondering what you guys think of Instacart, they have been in business for a number of years, and offer a service that could become quite popular.

Q: From this list what would be your top 3 picks for buys right now with consideration of long term growth in TFSA? If you feel any other picks would make it in to top 3 (besides NVDA/GOOG) please include those as well.

Q: I going to initiate a sizable position in VTI.US and VUS.T, what would you consider a good entry point and a great entry point. And would it make sense to leg in over a six month period? Thanks for your expertise.

Q: WHat do you think of this company? Growth, valuation, buy/sell?
Thanks,

Q: I hold this and as such I guess I have shares of the spun out new private company. It is held in an RRSP. Are there any issues with this?

Q: Hi 5i
Today while market was busy crashing, CGX was heading higher in heavy trading. Do you have any idea what is going on? major news ?

thx

Q: Hello 5i,

Currently looking for additional US stock exposure and I am considering either FLGT or PERI as potential candidates. Sector allocation is not a factor.

Between these two companies which, in your opinion, has the best runway for growth over the next 5+years?

Thank you in advance,

Q: Hi Peter,

What is your current outlook for ZBRA? It has been drifting lower since the last earnings report. Their announcement yesterday of mobile pay system has not generated any enthusiasm.

Q: If you were to build a portfolio of just ETFs, what 6-8 would you select? Maybe ignore Canada for this scenario as I have plenty of individual positions I'm quite happy with.

Q: Your opinion please on whether or not this is worth holding for the dividend and a future recovery for the financials sector. Thank you.

Q: Hello, I have NVEI in my TFSA with a loss of over 50% so far. I have cash available to average down. I have no incentive to sell at this point, the shares being in a TFSA. Should I double down on the stock at this point or wait at year-end after the tax loss season is over? I could also see what happens with the Q3 results in November. Thanks

Q: I like the industry - it has a very long future - and then spotlight is not on it currently. PLC's price is hitting new lows. Is this because the company is not as good as once thought? Or might this be a winner is a couple of years?

Q: Hi team,

I currently have IWO as a core holding. I would like to change to a more concentrated ETF holding either in small or mid cap US. With so many different factors to choose from such as large/medium/small cap, dividend/value/growth/blend, current valuations, etc... and looking at past returns over various time periods, how does one choose the best ETF to invest in going forward now? I would consider all these ETF's to be high quality and obviously no one knows what the range of future returns will be. With small/mid cap underperforming lately vs large cap, would you place your bets on that spread closing over time? I'm comfortable with volatility and have a long term time horizon (+15yrs). How would you rank these going forward for best risk adjusted returns?

Thank you!

Q: Have been looking at this for a month or two and would like your thoughts and analysis please.
Is it worth a small 1% gamble?

Q: Hi Team,
For an 18 years old's TFSA, is having equal weights of VFV and XQQ diversified enough? If not what other Canadian ETF or stocks would be a good fit?
No commission costs for trading so quantity is not an issue.
Thanks

Q: I hold both these ETFs in my RRIF and am thinking of combining them into one holding. Do you see much duplication between the 2?
thanks
