Q: These seem to be some of your favorite Canadian growth names - very different in terms of sectors, vol and size, however can you please rank them in terms of growth outlook for next 3-4 years to add some torque to a portfolio.
Thank you

Q: This morning 5I answered a question from George on REM { Which doesn't appear to be in your drop down list when asking this question } .... 5I pointed out the heavy weighting in NLY and AGNC. As a former NLY shareholder just for giggles I took a look at it. The first thing I saw was the massive 16.35% dividend and my brain asked how the yield could be higher than the sum of it's parts. Then looking further I saw that REM had fallen in price where it would have yielded almost half as much as it does now pre Covid.....This is where I need 5I to " unravel " my logic. It appears to me that Mr. Market is punishing diversification over the make up of it's parts..... In other words by buying the ETF one is getting a discount on it's holdings.... { REM 16.35% , NLY 11.89%, AGNC 10.2% , didn't check the rest of the holdings } I'm pretty sure there is something wrong with my logic thus the question.... Is the ETF discounted to it's parts ? And if so, by how much ?

Q: Good morning, Portfolio Analytics suggests we (as elderly seniors) lower our Utility holdings by 6.32%. Currently, we have:
AQN 3.9 %, BEPC 3.5%, BIP.UN 4.6%, H 2.2%, SPB 1.8%. Firstly is there a holding I could eliminate? If not should I just lower the larger percentages? All are in RRIFs.
Second suggestion from Analytics is to lower telecom by 3.54%. Currently have BCE 4.2%, T 3.5% and GOOG 4.2%. T and BCE are in RRIFs. GOOG is in an unregistered account. I have always looked at GOOG as technology sector. Any comments. Thanks for your expertise.
