Q: Dear 5i
For an RRSP , TFSA and cash account which ETF would be your preference , ZSP or VFV ?
Also do you expect the recently announced OPEC cuts to have a long lasting affect on oil prices ?
I`m reading that the price per barrel could reach $105 again within a few months . That being said do you believe there is going to be another leg up in oil stocks ? Gas stocks ?
Thanks
Bill C

Q: In answer to Ronnie's question regarding retirement software I have been looking myself for a few years and I must say that is is not that easy to find. May I suggest the following for you to look at: D.R Gobeil and associates' The Canadian Retirement Planner's Software. It is updated annually (for a license fee) for up to date CPP/QPP, income tax tables, etc... Tailored for Financial Planners it is a little raw for the unitiated but still a very good source of information for DIYer.
Quite extensive in coverage, it covers all sources of revenue and if you have a spouse, It is worth looking at.
I have been using it and it is currently my goto reference. It was recommended to me by a financial planner.

Q: Hi Team,
I was considering selling out of my oil stock WCP to purchase either / or a combination of adding to Shop, Nvda, and Toi. Would you see this as advisable for a goal of maximum returns over the next 5yrs ? Thanks

Q: General question: About how far forward does the market look. Per another question asking whether we are nearing the bottom (I know no one can accurately predict it). Looking out to mid 2023, I see a recession and lower corporate earnings. Looking to late 2023 and into 2024 I think we may be in a more robust corporate environment if Central Bank mandates start working.
So, if the market looks out approx 6 mths, we may be seeing more downside. If the market looks beyond and see's better days, maybe we are nearing the lows...?
Your thoughts, thanks!

Q: Hi
I read the question posed by Ronnie today about retirement software and although I have no recommendation there I am reading Your Retirement Income Blueprint by Daryl Diamond and it is helpful.
If anything else comes up I would not mind knowing. Probably more of a blog thing but I do not know how to direct the subject to that area of your website and help with his question at the same time.
