Q: I am looking at putting some of my unused secured line of credit to work and invest in some dividend paying stocks. For context only, not much leverage about equal to 20% of my current portfolio, over 10 year time horizon and comfortable with the risks.

I am looking to see what companies you would suggest looking at. I keep circling back to companies like car.un or RBC. thank you

Q: hi. clearly, the stock markets are highly manipulated now with direct government purchases of stock and bonds, and with central banks manipulating rates to the extreme lower side to force investors into stocks. the markets clearly are out of step with reality on Main Street. do you think this matters anymore, or is the stock market and it's players also post truth now?

Q: First, I wanted to thank you for your Canadian portfolio suggestions, especially for the balanced and growth ones. I've been very lucky on timing, still I am extremely happy with the service, advices and the gains this year. On another note, I am looking to allocate 10%-15% of my locked-in RSP in either an international or global well managed portfolio composed of small cap and/or mid cap stocks. Looking for intelligent high risk. I have a long time horizon (I am 30 years old). I would prefer actively managed or an ETF you strongly believe in, diversified and with a strong track record. I had MAW150 in mind, but when I look at the top 10 positions individually... They are pretty much all at their all time high and I'm not sure if they have a lot more room for growth ahead this year or next year factoring all the risk that remains. I know it's almost impossible to time the market, but if I can dodge a speculative correction like there was for tech this week, I would be more than happy. All that said, which one(s) would you recommend considering the most for September 2020 based on your expertise.
Thank you again.

Q: Hi 5i Team - According to my information Shopify has about 120 million shares outstanding. Do you think it is possible or probable that they may do a stock split in order to bring the share price down to a range that might attract new retail investors. Also What is the latest insider holdings information including recent buying and selling activity. Thanks.

Q: Howdy - Why didn't Warren buy some Stanley instead of Bank of America? Too small? So for exposure to US financials in the form of a sorta bank isn't MS better positioned than most with no loan default concerns and great exposure to wealth management (high net worth concentration?) Decent divi too. Why no 5i love for MS - is it the symbol of the stock matching what most associate with something horrible? Bothers me. Fondly, Ken
