Q: I have some extra room in my existing telecom allocation and am looking at adding TMUS and dropping SJR.B. Or should I just add further to VZ or FIVG to continuing increasing my US exposure and currency diversification? I am retired but do not depend on the income from this portfolio which is intended to be widely diversified and focused on dividend growing solid companies.

Q: Goodmorning 5i,
You recently recommended shv for a reader seeking to place short term money. I have owned tlt and have found it a bit volatile for my safe money. Although, if this is not too contradictory, i plan to buy it back after the virus scare finishes. But, i was wondering whether in the US, whether you might suggest something between these two, that is, something with a higher return than shv but not as volatile as tlt?
Thanks

Q: 25 per cent of my portfolio includes the above ETF’s. Are there other ETF’s that I should consider to replace any of these. The returns have not been exactly stellar compared to many of the individual stocks that you have recommended. Thanks

Q: We currently hold ZQQ at 8%, ZUH at 3.5% and VGG at 19% of equities. For diversification, we need to increase investment in technology and healthcare. We are considering the unhedged ZNU (unhedged technology) and ZHU (unhedged US healthcare). Please give us your opinion on these or possible alternatives.
Thanks.

Q: Hi,
I would welcome your thoughts on this - the MER seems high, but then again, so is the dividend, both of which makes me wonder if there are better options out there? Or, is this a solid investment? Always value your insight!
