I am increasingly convinced that AI will be a growth area as we move forward and would like your recommendations for the best ETF and best individual Canadian stock to play the sector over the next 3-5 years or longer.

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i! My daughter has a 120K inheritance which we want to use in the next 3 to 5 years to put toward buying a house. I thought she could do the following: put 10K in cash...55 K in GICs and 55 K divided among SPY, IWO, CDZ. XIC and XWD. Does this sound reasonable to you considering their investment time period. Cheers
Q: Which etf do you recommend to play gold/silver sector? Looking for low cost option with good liquidity, covering producers. Equal weight or not?
Q: I am bit lost with bond market performance. XLB NAV has gone up by 10% YTD. TLT also up by 10%. As bond yields go up with interest rate peaking the price will come down. Will the total return still be significant if the NAV comes down by 10% or more in next several years. My experience with some of the other bond funds I held previously generated negative total returns after holding them for many years.
Thanks

Q: I have a ? on ISHARES overall holdings approach. I am not a big ETF holder but own a 3% position in FIE. I am in the annual review process and was surprised to see the top two holdings of the fund are other ISHARE products, making up almost 30% of their holding. Is this typical with iShares investing so much with their own product. Its not giving me the level of bank and insurance company investment I would of thought. CPD makes up about 20% and I already hold a 2% holding in that fund. Your view please.

Q: How will you back test an ETF like VBAL or VGRO which have not been there for long and compare it/them with an ETF that has been there for a long time? For example XIC or VDY....I ask this having your model ETF portfolios in mind. (Both in CMS and ETF Fund update newsletter.)

Q: Hello guys. Can I get your top five dividend ETFs and, separately, your recommendations for utility and REIT focused ETFs? Thanks!
Q: One of the BNN guests stated that ZDI dividends do not qualify for the dividend tax credit. Would this be the same in a TFSA as well? I assume there is no issue in an RRSP.
