Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

If we can trade with zero commission, and were just starting out with a TFSA, which of the following two options would you recommend, and why?

1. The Canadian Money Saver Model ETF Portfolio
2. The ten stocks in the "Beating the TSX" as described in https://dividendstrategy.ca/btsx-portfolio/, and has also been featured in the Canadian Money Saver from time to time.

Thanks as always for your pertinent advice.

Q: Hi 5i Team, could you provide some clarity please.

Josef Schachter of Schachter's Eye on Energy, recently made this statement, among others, in respect to fallout from the EU/Russia energy issues. I am trying to understand exactly how this could manifest into a colossal crises. Can you expand on the following quote and provide a better explanation. In your opinion, is there any merit to the quote? Thanks:

"Margin calls are being faced by energy producers in Europe. Norwegian giant Equinor sees energy trading desks needing US$1.5T to meet margin calls. This could be worse than the Lehman incident in 2008. The problem is not with the physical markets but with the derivatives market. This is a financial crisis of much greater magnitude than the Global Financial Crisis of 2008-2009 (GFC)."

Q: In early July, I asked whether you thought it was better to lock in a mortgage rather than sticking with a floating rate.

At that time, you thought staying with a floating rate was better.

Wondering if your thinking has changed on that given how things have developed since.

Q: Hi Team,
With many high growth tech names down 50,60,70% over the last year, the question comes up …are these ever going to recover ? That being said , I think some will. Some will end up being the “buy” of the decade. And some probably not. My question is which 3 names would you bet on today to buy, which might end up being the “buy of the decade” in a few years from now? Thanks !

Q: I am a retired income investor. All my income except CPP comes from my investments. Right now I am quite well diversified and I did not go to much cash so far nor do not intend to. However, I am now thinking that I should make some changes to be underweight some sectors and overweight others. Right now I am overweight ENB (I consider it a utility), BEP.UN, T, SLF, the Cdn banks and BCE. I also own a lot of the various BMO covered calls ETFs. Two areas I am light is Consumer Staples which the gurus say will hold up well now and I hold no US stocks. One can argue whether we are now in recession or it is coming but I am sure it is or will be real especially since our government says it does not think about economic policy. I am thinking of reducing the covered calls and increasing my exposure to stocks because I believe the stocks will perform better during and as we come out of this. This will further skew my diversity but these are not normal times.
I would like your thoughts on this and a recommendation for "safe" income producing Consumer Staples and a US ETF.
Many thanks
