Q: Short term cash US cash investment.
Hello 51 team,

I have a portfolio at Nat Bank, using NBC101 to park cash; however, it is a bit inconvenient as it required at least 2 days between selling and buying the mutual funds and another day until it posts in our account while ETF is the same processing rule as equities.
I appreciate having your thoughts on using ETF instead==> ICSH vs JPST
What are the difference between the 2 and which one will be your pick?
I noted that ICSH (lower fee .08%, smaller size) vs JPST (higher fee, much larger size). Thank you!

Q: Selling US securities held in my RIF I need to find a temporary home for US cash pending reinvestment.
I can't seem to find an ETF similar to Purpose (PSU.U) listed in the US. Am I missing something?
Thanks

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i! I need your advice. I have a non registered portfolio, half I have invested in Canadian and US growth and income stocks. The other half I would like to invest in something more secure. GICs come to mind, but with low interest rates, inflation and unfavourable taxation, they seem like a loosing proposition. Any low risk suggestions??? Thank you for all that you do!!! Cheers, Tamara

Q: Thanks for the wonderful work from the team. I am holding BRLXF since past 2 years. Have a good 100% gain. However in past 6 months its down significant from about $40 to $30. Do you still see a good growth potential for the stock or would you recommend something else in this sector. Holding period is long 5+ and comfortable with risk and volatility.
Also any recommendation on any ETF or something else where one can park cash component of the Portfolio. I hold about 10% of portfolio in cash to be deployed at times when market is over sold .
