Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi there, there are many "all in one" etfs to pick from these days. If a person wanted to have a super simple portfolio, what would be your favourite (or the best) ETF to hold to gain 100% equity exposure that would require the least amount of maintenance? I know there is XEQT, VEQT, XAW, VXC, XWD, HGRO and many more. What would be your favourite? (Does not have to appear on the ones I have listed)

Thanks!

Q: I can't fully understand the current sell-off and downgrades of TRP. I understand the selling of assets as a bit of a disappointment, and perhaps the split creates a bit of uncertainty (?) For a long term dividend investor though, is a near-8% dividend not a great opportunity? It appears that there is a lot of insider selling, is that correct?

Q: I have a sizable capital loss for 2023 right now. I'm starting to think of selling some of my winners in my non-reg accounts to wipe that cap loss out this year. Three of the companies where I have capital gains are Hubspot, Mastercard, and The Trade Desk. What strategy would you recommend for me in selling some or all of these 3 positions to erase the capital loss. MA has been a longterm winner for me, but I worry about Fintech competitors eating into their business. I'd appreciate your insights on whether Hubspot has a rosy future or whether its best times are behind it. The Trade Desk is my most confident position, but, of course, I'd appreciate your opinion. Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you suggest a few cyber security stocks, Canadian and U.S., including established companies that are profitable as well as two or three newer ones that show some promise but may or may not be profitable yet. Any market cap is fine. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i team,

I sold "CAE" and made some money to find next growth name. Could you please suggest one? I already have "STN" and "CP" in my portfolio for your information. Your suggestion doesn’t have to be in the same sector though, I am looking for the best rewarding one as of today for 3-5 years holding. Thanks.

Q: This is a question about composition of a rrif. I am 77: as I age I can no longer rationally think of long term holdings ie 10 years. In your opinion would it be wiser to shift to ETFs . I probably have enough saved to last my twilight years. I prefer the clarity of stocks but I would also prefer to be ten years younger.
Thanks for your wisdom
