Q: Can you please tell me a bit about IWO in the Growth Portfolio? P/E is listed at 1.5 on Yahoo finance - is that accurate?? I would like to add to a very my current small holding, recognizing that this appears to a high risk, high reward investment. 5i purchased in the Growth Portfolio at about $179 and currently at about $229. Looks to me like a good time to buy more.

Q: I have too much cash and too little fixed income investments. We are facing inflation headwinds and the GIC rates I'm looking at ( sub four per cent) don't come close to this years forecast inflation. My pref shares are slumping. Can you suggest any inflation adjusted investments that are as safe or nearly as safe as GICs? In the US the treasury offers i-bonds in limited amounts. Do we have any equivalents here in our fine country? Thanks, al

Q: Hello 5i,
I am a value invester with a mix of equities and ETF's. I have done well with VGT and am up $8,000. As I look for dividends I am looking to sell VGT and buy ZWT. Also exchanging XHYy for ZWH, XTR for ZWC and VE for ZWE. Some are underwater but not by much. $75,000 is involved altogether with these exchanges. Do these changes make sense or should I just leave things as they are. The difference in dividends is nice to have (an extra $300 or more a month) but not really needed.

Q: Hello,

I own the whole list (weights 1% to 2%) thinking I was being diversified but maybe went too far.

1) I am on the right track to reduce to about 3 names?
2) Which names optimise income?
3) Alternative names that I might have missed?

Many thanks!

Q: I want to reduce my foreign investments to less than $100,000.

I'm interested in momentum strategies and now own MTUM. Is there a TXS listed ETF which gives me the same result? How about a momentum ETF that replicates the world's stock momentum?

Q: Dear 5i,
Roundhill Investments in US just launched a new cannabis ETF called WEED.
Their description says that they may invest in US cannabis companies using Total Return Swaps. I don't understand why they just don't buy the stocks directly instead of using a derivative structure. Can you give me your thoughts?

thanks
