Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Could you explain the differences between these two ETFs, if you can call CGOC an ETF. Specifically as to what they invest in, are they actively managed, and their level of risk compared to each other? Your preference of the two, for someone who has a high risk tolerance, who wishes to have some exposure to the industry?

Q: Using DOO as an example, according to RBC, among 8 analysts the estimates for the Q1 range from .31 to .68 per share, thats a .37 variable. Roughly speaking, with over 97 million shares outstanding x .37 , that is over a $35M spread for only one quarter. Often stocks get rewarded or punished for missing estimates by pennies, I dont understand why so much emphasis, when in this case anyway it appears the analysts are throwing darts to come up with their numbers? Not much of a question, but I have lots.

Q: I noticed you recommended VT instead of EDG100. On morningstar I see VT has a 10 year annualized return of 11.93% and EDG100 has a 10 year annualized return of 15.09% net of fees. I understand VT has lower fees, but why make this substitution when EDG100 is outperforming so dramatically net net of fees? Am I missing something? Also, it seems like EDG100 does much better on the downside.

Q: Maestros of 5i - do you think Apple keeps on with its relentless climb back to $230 by the end of the year - still just a 16 PE - secondly is there a US tech stock that you believe has less downside risk than Apple while still having some growth to go with that (Cisco, Intel, or Microsoft perhaps or another you'd suggest) - thirdly if you were making one buy recommendation today with those criteria (safest US tech play with growth prospects) what's your call - Appreciate your insights - Ken

Q: Can you please tell me if employee options are currently, accurately reflected in US and Canadian financial statements? If not, how significant would this be to the balance sheets of companies, in particular tech stocks? After some research, I'm losing confidence in the auditing results of companies by the established accounting firms. Trump's appointment of Jay Clayton to the SEC concerns me even more as I'm thinking the system is already rigged against the small investor and we will see many more Sunbeam's , Enron's, Concordia's, etc. in the stock markets future. Please use as many credits as you feel necessary to give an in depth answer. Thank you
