Q: I have no exposure to metals and have been looking at ZMT to fill this gap. Are there other ETF's (US or Canadian) that might be better than ZMT? Also, given the current geo-political situation, do you think metal etf's such as ZMT have much more runway?

Q: Hello 5i Team,
A similar question has likely been asked before.
For tax-loss selling purposes in a non-registered account, are QQQ and any other ETF that tracks the NASDAQ 100 index (eg. QQQM) considered different ETFs?
Thanks!

Q: How do you feel about ZWU today? Or would you prefer to own a pipeline company like ENB? Seems the number of anticipated rate increases has fallen in recent days given Russia's war on Ukraine. Looking for price stability and yield. Great service, thanks!
Q: Pipeline and utility stocks having increased in price recently. What would you think about buying one of the ZPAY etf's for the dividend replacement of the utility and pipeline stocks. And buying the pipeline and utility stocks on a pull back. And which ZPAY etf would you recommend?
Thanks
Brian

Q: Yesterday (Tuesday) I placed a bid to purchase KRBN at $41 that was filled at 3:47PM. Looking at the daily trading chart on any site shows that a big block trade went through right around then, but for the entire last 30 minutes of trading the price never seemed to stray outside of $42.25-$42.85. My order was for several even lots. I would just like to try and understand the trading that goes on behind what appears to be visible such that my buy could fill at a price of $41?
In addition, I am struggling with how to categorize this holding within my investment portfolio. As a “non-tangible” commodity would you consider it within the energy sector? Materials? US or International? Your thoughts?

Q: I have a small position in each of the above listed ETFs. I believe one must be invested in more than just North America but, I am concerned with the Geopolitical situation in Russia (re Ukraine) and China (re Taiwan). Additionally, these ETFs have been down lately and I'm thinking of selling them. What percentage of each ETF is invested in Russia/China? What would you recommend to replace these ETFs in order to exclude or have minimal exposure to Russia/China?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Q: Hi,
Do you think either of these ETFs would represent an opportunistic or speculative play on Russia right now or would you be perhaps more prudent and steer clear. Thank you. Michael
