Q: Hi 5i,
Just following up on my question about hedge funds and hedge fund ETFs.
I have found a list of some hedge fund ETFs that have over $100M US in assets and >25K average daily trading volume (for liquidity reasons) and was wondering if any of them would be an acceptable alternative to directly investing in an actual hedge fund. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated, recognizing this is a bit off the main track of your advice.
Here they are:
QAI - IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF
WDTI - Managed Futures Strategy Fund
RLY - SPDR Multi-Asset Real Return ETF
ALFA - AlphaClone Alternative Alpha ETF
MNA - IQ Merger Arbitrage ETF
Thank you very much.
Michael

Q: Hi 5i
Thx for your help and bang for my buck. There is no comparison to other investment advice I have encountered. My question is with regards to an investment site called american bulls ( japanese candlesticks ).They also have a Canadian version. It works well for trading stocks especially commodity stocks such as SGY and FM and TCK.B to name a few. I am mostly buy and hold but have traded in a TFSA and I find the signals to be fairly accurate especially when things happen quickly as in the oil and material sectors.

Q: Good morning 5I team,
Since REITs are included in the Financial Sector, I'm guessing there is no reason to have to hold any, as long as I have a good sector percentage. Is that correct? It seems that many people hold them primarily for income. Since I have about 8 years to retirement, and a decent pension at that time, I tend to focus on growth.
Thanks for everything!

Q: Hi 5i,
On May 06 you mentioned that BEP.UN is "ok but not great". The rating on the last report was maintained at "A" (highest ranking). Would the rating be lowered if you were to rank it as of right now? Do you think it is a good buy in opportunity from the recent decline?
Thanks,

Q: Hi Guys
When you look at the sheer number of people within a 5 hour flight from Macau compared to Vegas you would think this gambling stock Las Vegas Sands with a nice dividend has a bright future.
What concerns me is the low book value,compared to the price of the stock.Do they not have valuable real estate holdings.
Finally how would you explain a sell off like 2008, I believe it went from around $100 down to $3.00. Lastly would you buy this stock around this price.
Thanks!

Q: Hi,
HR.un and REI.un have been great over the years, however, several of my Reits did not make the Reits list(question May 9). I hold about 1,000 shares of AAR.un, AX.un, DIR.un, MR.un, MRG.un, NWH.un, SMU.un, and SOT.un. Are there any in my list that you would be concerned with for the long term? As a retired, income seeker my Reit holdings have always been high and currently represents 14% of my portfolio.

Q: Hi 5i: RBC Direct Investing provided a report on Avigilon that quoted an analyst to the effect that security cameras have now become commoditized. Cameras sold by Chinese firms such as Hikvision, Vivotek and Uniview now sell for 30% - 40% less than the cameras sold by Avigilon. It may be that these cameras lack the supporting software provided by AVO and that it is this support feature that gives AVO an edge and that makes up for the difference in price. Do you have any information on this aspect of the comparison. But if it comes down to a simple price war between hardware vendors then I don't fancy AVO's chances
