Investment Q&A

Q: Good morning,

Looking for your thoughts on the the new suite of Sprott etf's as a means to position to profit from the transition to green energy sources.

• Sprott Energy Transition Materials ETF (Nasdaq:SETM)
• Sprott Lithium Miners ETF (Nasdaq:LITP)
• Sprott Junior Uranium Miners ETF (Nasdaq:URNJ)
• Sprott Junior Copper Miners ETF (Nasdaq:COPJ)

Thank you

Q: When I research AIRR I see that it has performed well, has a 5 star Morningstar rating and holds small to mid size industrials.

When you analyse this etf do you think that this has a place in a portfolio representative of industrial exposure.

When you look at this one please outline the good, bad and ugly. If you conclude it is not right, what would you suggest in its stead?


Thanks

Q: In view of today’s comments by US FED how would you value the US banks outlook for next quarter or two. I have 23% gain in the ZBK. Would you recommend reducing or sell the ETF to capitalize on its gain before it potentially loses the gain?

Q: Is it reasonable to sell TLT and replace with EDV to register a capital loss but keep exposure to long dated treasuries. As well as a better yield while waiting.
Thank you

Q: Which do you prefer and why. HXT seems to have better performance over time. Is there a particular reason?

Thx

Q: So now that Horizons has suspended new issues of this ETF, the unit price dropped by about $1.50. will the price continue to drop until it reaches net asset value. In this case at what price should one target to buy this ETF. Do you expect the price to continue to decline in the short term. What would be your advise? Wait or buy now?

Q: hello 5i:
moving our portfolio more into income producing as we are retired. With that in mind, is JEPI one of your favourite US enhanced income ETFs? I've read the questions on JEPI so am familiar with your answers; just don't want to leave out an ETF that might be "better". Any other suggestions that I should be looking at? Would it be more advantageous to look at something where I don't have to lose income in converting US dollars back to CDN dollars?
thanks

Q: Which of these two ETFs is a better buy in terms of growth and valuations?

Q: Hi Peter,
I want to move my investments to a portfolio of ETF's, Please suggest a group of ETF's with strong growth potential for Long term ( 10-15 years).

Q: Your opinion of the five single-stock ETF’s offered by Purpose Investments, generally and specifically. I’m thinking, in particular of replacing a small holding of the NEO-listed GOOG with Y-GOOG-NE. To complement a holding of GOOG (US).

Q: Hi 5iResearch

These two names seem to be different series for the the same etf, right?

If I am right, why do they have different prices per unit and how could their dist, be different while both are having the same underlying securities?

Could you please advise if there are differences in risk?

Do VBAL and XBAL also have different series?

Please as many credit as the question requires.

Thank you

Q: Any thoughts about VDY as a long term hold in my RRSP

Q: What are your preferences for copper producers?
Is there an ETF that specialises in AI?

Q: I have $30,000 extra in my RRSP this year. I am looking for very strong companies that pay a good dividend and low risk even if they are ETF's. Thanks again

Q: In a follow-up to my question earlier, if I understand correctly the fund should go down another 1 1/5% as per your answer:
''HSAV has suspended new units, so investors can only buy in the market. Thus, it has traded at a premium to its asset value, and the premium is slowly decaying towards true asset value. The units are about $1.50 above asset value currently. But it can still move higher with any big buy orders coming in.'' unless a white knight comes in to buy a large order...

What happens with the yield that the fund collect with the high yield savings account it's invested in? Does time invested in the fund add value? In other words how is one supposed to make money or even hold on to one's money beeing invested in that fund? In your January 9th answer to a question asking for stability and income you put HSAV at the top of the list.
Frutrated investor...
Stll thankfull for your service.

Q: Can you explain why a money market fund like HSAV have ups and downs? This fund has gone down 2 days in a row from March first.

Q: Could you comment on these for the income portion at this time

Q: THESE ETFS HAVE VERY ATTRACTIVE DIVIDENDS DO YOU THINK THE DIVIDEND IS REASONABLY SAFE,

Q: What is your opinion on JEPI and JEPQ for a retired income investor.

Q: Can you help me understand why the discount to NAV for HSAV has grown substantially since the beginning of the year (from 0.5% to ~2.3%)?
