Q: Hello Peter and colleagues
I am trying to develop a simple but effective portfolio. What would be your opinion and recommended percentages on a simple portfolio including these ETFs: XIC, VFV, VXUS
Would you recommend adding more ETFs while keeping it simple? and if so, what would be the percentage of each. Do you recommend replacing VFV with VTI? and why?
Please deduct as many points as needed.
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
I have owned CSH.UN for about 18 months, am getting frustrated by the lack of growth.
Am after a REIT for income in RRIF. Am considering SIA & GRT.UN as possible replacements. Will be a long time hold, am after a decent yield with some growth possibilities. What are your thoughts including any other alternatives in the space.
Thanks as always for your advice !
Steve

Q: Hello, I would like your opinion on Reitmans (RET.A). The stock is at its lowest level in 37 years. The latest results are not good and the competition is very strong, but on the other hand, the debt is not very high and the managers have a lot of experience. Is there any hope in your opinion? Are we trying to catch a falling knife? Thank you.

Q: For a 2-5 years holding period, which of these Royalty companies has the best growth profile? Are the risks in the two smaller companies significantly higher? My understanding is that Royalty companies are "safer" than exploration and mining companies. Thanks
