Q: I'm a little confused about how gold in Canada is reacting the last few days. When I check the US, ie SPDR gold, I see gold up strongly. Today GLD is up 1.42%. Canadian gold miners, though, are mostly down, today and over the last few sessions. GLD is up 2.54% over the last five sessions while XGD is up only 0.31% What explains this?

Q: CPD was a disaster and I sold it for loss. Now I'm looking at XPF - it held up better and the US exposure may add diversification. What do you think? Or should one give a miss to these pref ETFs altogether?

Q: Not sure how I ended up with his company in my portfolio....obviously I'm not paying attention. Who are they? Are they worth holding? I prefer dividend paying stocks but if theres a bright future I'd hold onto them. I bought QST at 42 cents way back when and have done well with that non dividend paying stock.
Q: Good morning and Happy New Year to all at 5i,
Portfolio Analytics tells me to increase my US and international exposure. Please suggest some ETFs that would accomplish this goal, and at the same time provide a dividend (even a small one) and have growth prospects. This would be for this year's TFSA investments. Thanks in advance for your valued advice.

Q: Hi 5i experts,
I recently am watching the XLK that seems has the same holding company as ZQQ has but the risk is much lower than ZQQ. As a Canadian investor, should I keep XLK instead of ZQQ? which one has better return? and tax efficient?
Thanks,
Alice

Q: In trying to decide which ETF’s to buy, I am concerned with the credit duration of some.
Ex: XTR 3.78 yrs. ZMI 3.77 yrs. VCNS 7.82 yrs
What is the significance of these in view of the current business cycle mainly interest rates.
Also, at this time would you favour an ETF more or less exposed to bonds currently. Is a fund manager able to quickly sell his bond holdings quickly when interest rates rise, what is their strategy ?
Thank you so much.

Q: Class F Capital Shares (the "Federation Capital Shares") . These are offered by caisse desjardins. We have some older "permanent" shares which Desjardins wants us to exchange for capital shares. I didnt buy these and i am not even sure what they are. They almost seem to be a kind of preferred share. Just wondering with your wide expertise whether you know exactly what these are. And more importantly, whether they are worth holding. I am thinking no.
Thankyou for any help and all the best in the new year
