Q: Can you please provide your opinion on what happens to floating rate funds as interest rates drop? Do you get a similar appreciation of the bonds with lower rates. I notice this fund is short duration so curious on your thoughts. YTD up 7% so a reasonable return but noticed in the short term with steeper drops it doesnt seem to perform as well.

Curious if a better play would be a longer duration fixed income fund?

Q: Hey can I get your take on this company’s latest results and drilling success. I feel it is at an inflection point and under-followed as evidenced by no question history at 5i :)
Thanks

Q: I'd like to buy a bond ETF that is actively managed. Please recommend 2 or 3 ETF's that have a track record of doing better than those that are not actively managed. If you have other suggestions that would help me achieve superior returns from the bond universe I'm open to all suggestions.

Q: Person A has rode cyclical stocks up and then down. What advice would you provide if he is thinking of taking profit from selling his XGD ETF that he has been holding for hedging against inflation?
Thank you.

Q: Do you think Nutrien's management has lost its way? It seems to be groping around for a strategy in South America, and is having a lot of top management turnover. Molson got badly burned in Brazil years ago because they didn't understand the Brazilian market; is the same thing happening to NTR?

Q: Can you comment on the recent price performance and outlook for Medpace’s?

Q: Contemplating buying into VRT or Uber for a three to five year hold. Which would you suggest and why?

Q: Can you please comment on earnings? In your Q & A on Sep 20 2023 it included this comment: "Consensus calls for a decline in earnings this year and only about 9% growth next year." Are there any further negative surprises over the past year?

Q: Is there a free website that you can provide where one can see the historical p/e ratios of publicly-traded corporations?

Q: I'm a 65 year old div investor with a defined pension. I'm investigating the BMO covered Call Health Care ETF (ZWHC) as a way to play the Health Care Sector as there is not much available in Cdn. I have a question on the cost of this ETF. The fact sheet states Max annual management fee of .65% and then it says an MER of .73%.
Do I add the two % up to equal 1.38% or would I just pay the MER of .73%?
I hold WELL (hoping for growth) but have been waiting quite awhile and nothing much seems to happen. I'm down (-26%). Its been good if you bought lately but if you bought back during COVID, not so much.
I know you still recommend it so should I hope for the best and wait awhile longer (hope not being much of an investment strategy) or move on? VHI seems to be moving better? Appreciate your thoughts.
