Thanks.

Q: Do you have a number as to what the vaccine revenue might be for COVID 19 ?
It looks like perhaps 50 or more will be splitting the pie, yet a lot of money for all I think.
I am tracking NVAX, SRNE, MRNA.
All are up astronomically, but perhaps will double
Or more from here. Do you guys own any ?
Is there an ETF that holds these vaccine company’s?
Would you buy any, if so which one or one’s ?
I see SRNE is up 26% in the first 8 minutes this morning.
Thanks

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Love the improvements to Portfolio Analytics! Wow, you folks have worked hard with these enhancements. Also, thanks very much for walking me through the troubleshooting procedure when my screen was initially blank. You correctly determined that AdBlock Plus app was the culprit, and when it was disabled for the 5i site, everything was perfect.

Q: I am well past retirement and trying to consolidate my stock holdings into ETFs. I. may not last long enough to complete this transition, but I'm moving in that direction! My latest thought on this is to divide my Canadian equity between ZLB and CDZ the first for stability, the 2nd for dividends, and for US equity ZSP. I'm staying away from other International stocks at this stage. Does this seem reasonable?

thanks

Q: What is your opinion of RBC Emerging Markets Bond Fund Series D (RBF1097.CF) ?
I bought it last October as part of my fixed income portfolio but it seems more volatile / riskier than I was expecting.
