Q: Hi team,
Do you think there will be a rotation from "growth" to "value"?

Could I have three value names you like(CA or US)
Thank you!

Q: Hi,
I want to increase my US and International equity exposure by using $US ETFs (VIG and VXUS respectively) but the Canadian dollar is pretty weak right now (improving slightly lately). Does it make sense to convert to $US for this investment (long-term horizon) when there could well be significant headwinds if the Canadian dollar continues to strengthen. Also, valuations are higher in the US than in Canada, but International looks to be relatively cheap. Thoughts on how to proceed?
Regards, Michael

Q: A while back you stated you preferred a S&P 500 etf over VUN because the s&p 500 etf had more concentrated holdings ie 500 companies vs several thousand holdings. Yet I notice many instances where you recommend / suggest VUN. I hold VUN and am somewhat confused wondering if I should trade VUN for a s&p 500 etf. Thank you.

Q: I would liked to switch the focus of my investments from equities to ETF's. Could you give me some broad parameters for guidance.
Could you suggest 10 ETF's for starters. Mid to long term with medium risk.
Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi there, this is my first question to you. I have enjoyed reading other questions and your answers.

What is your take on Nokia? 5G is big in the news and are they a big player in the US on this? They seem have a good dividend yield. Does it look like a potential for a long term hold. Thank you!

Q: IPL pays an juicy dividend yield of over 8 per cent at the current share price. The dividend is covered and they have growth potential with their proposed in service date of 2021 for their propane to plastic processing plant. It looks like a safe stock with some good upside in a couple of years. But it makes me a little nervous that it is a little like the old Canexus in that IPL is getting a little bit out of their wheelhouse of expertise (shipping stuff around in pipelines or storing those products) and they are entering into more of a manufacturing business line. Is that diversification or worsefication? Is it a stretch for a pipeline company to think they can build and operator a propane-to-plastic "factory"? Canexus was a chemical company that thought they could build a oil-by-rail loading facility and in their case diversification was definitely worsefication!! I am still interested in IPL but I would appreciate you thoughts about IPL growth plans.
