Q: Hi Peter and Ryan

Understanding that timing the market can be difficult and trying to follow your recommendations for the most part has been very useful information. Thank you
I am looking to “lie low” through what I believe to be a coming correction and wish to invest in ETFs with some protection

I am looking at ZDY ZLU ZLB ZEB as a 20 % of my portfolio over the summer. Your comments please and so you have other etfs that might be of interest... Icahn comes to mind

Q: Good morning,

Two general questions:

1. I am fortunate in that I have now maxed out my TFSA contribution. Could you give me an idea of what sort of investments I should have in a TFSA vs. a cash account? 

2. According to portfolio analytics I am underweight in Fixed Equity. Underweight, in that I have none. Could you give some direction as to what to include for the fixed equity portion of a portfolio and provide some suggestions. 

Thank you for your help!

Q: Should I convert my closed end fund QBTC to the etf - BTCQ under the conversion privilege ending May 31?
I see it will be on a NAV to NAV basis but is there any advantage if this is periodically offered? Daily vol on QBTC is higher so is this the better trade?
And what is the current NAV for each?

Q: Hello 5i,

We have GOOGL and AMZN are in our TFSA's but they are too expensive to add and we do not want to sell. We are retiring and will not have excess funds to add to these positions in a TFSA.

Can you recommend an ETF that has high content of Goog (15%+) and AMZN 10%+) that can be purchased in an RRSP? We do not need AAPL and MSFT as we have VGT?

The other option is may be to purchase GOOGL and AMZN in our USD RRSP though we would prefer an ETF for diversification.

Thank you for you help.

Debbie and Jerry

Q: Hey there! I'm 29. I have my RRSPs maxed out in index funds, TFSA maxed out in more growth companies (many of your picks and US growth stocks). I'm about to sell my rental property and should have about $100,000 in cash to invest. Looking to grow the money as much as possible, and then turn it into an income source. Will be working for another 2-3 years in a high paying job and then will work part time and pursue other interests and live off my investments. Any ideas on how to invest these funds?

Q: For a 10+ year passive hold of approximately 25% weighting of total equities investment (mix of registered and non-registered accounts), do you see an advantage of holding EQL vs a straight S&P 500 index like VFV including taking into account the fees differences. And for non-registered accounts- CAD hedged or non-hedged?
EQL feels a little better to me even with the fee but maybe I'm overthinking this one. Thank you.
