Q: Hi, in your response to Phil's question on a Canadian substitute to the US$ ARK ETFs, you suggested the Emerge Canada funds as a Canadian alternative. Could you please provide some details on their size and whether you would endorse them as a viable mid to long term investment opportunity. Could you also advise any insight as to why they are trading on the NEO exchange and not knowing anything about the NEO exchange, if there is any risk to them trading there.
Thank you

Q: Hello 5i
I understand the upsize however I don’t understand what the $9.80 subscription receipt represents. Appreciate your help.
“WELL Health upsized its previously announced $295.5M equity offering by C$7M and completed the full upsized C$302.5M equity offering at C$9.80 per subscription receipt, representing a 25% premium to WELL’s 5-day VWAP preceding the announced acquisition of NYSE American and TSX listed CRH Medical Corporation or “CRH”.
Thank you

Q: Going through all your portfolios looking for a high(er) growth stock with a dividend >1 that I don't already own. Can you please rate the following on a scale of 1-10 (1 being low) for both growth and risk over the next 12-18 months: MG, SLF, PKI, TFI, CCL, PLC, GSY, OTEX. (I note that all but SLF are currently rated 'strong buy'.) And if you have two clear favourites in the preceding list, I would appreciate those being noted separately. Thank you.

Q: Hello,

We have a 2.5-year-old named Victoria, aka 'Toe-Toe'. We are Canadian, and looking for some recommendations for balanced ETFs (or index funds) that we can purchase every two weeks for her RESP. They should have a low/no/reasonable MER, probably more exposure to the US, than Canada, and if possible a dividend so we can start a DRIP. Your suggestions are appreciated. Thanks,

Go, Jets, Go!

Q: Good morning. I currently have positions with MFC, SLF and GWO but GWO was a recent purchase just to see how it performed against the other two which I have held for many years. Based on some of my research it appears that Sunlife manages better through pullbacks and downturns historically however if I were also looking at Dividend Yields, currently MFC and GWO are higher. However I try to look at:
1. Growth rate ( ie EPS growth);
2. Dividend Yield Growth and;
3. Forward Valuation
as best as possible when I look at a company. I don't want or believe I need all three and would appreciate your input as to how you would rank them based on the three criteria I've noted.
Thanks,
Kevin
