Q: Can you give some suggestions for Euro exposed ETF's that would hold all or near all their largest best companies. The ETF would preferably have a low MER and could be held in registered account for long term hold.

Q: In a recent question on LLY, you said "President Trump is about to sign an executive order that would likely slash the cost of drugs (and hence the profits for maker) on a slew of popular, expensive products".
What effect will this have on the price and dividends paid by HHL.to and LIFE.to ?

Q: Hello 5i
I noticed one of your answers about Trump tariffs in which you cite Aritzia as an example of how difficult it is to predict which consequences certain actions will have on stocks. Fortunately, I did not sell that company. But, I did sell icln a few months ago, fearful of Trump’s disdain for renewable energy. But, icln has not moved much lower in those several months. In fact, it has risen a little. I wonder if you have any speculations on why that is? I am thinking about getting back in. How would you see that possibility?
Thanks

iShares U.S. Medical Devices ETF (IHI $58.36)
Q: Comments on earnings and if buy, sell or hold. What is happening with medical devices in the current economic environment? Thank you!
Q: I have recently moved $100k into a self-directed RRSP and would like to deploy. Funds are in CAD. Given the current outlook on tariffs and general market sentiment what ETFs and Bonds should I buy for a longer-term growth hold 5-7 year+ that are likely to do well given the recent downturn. Please include a European ETF suggestion and a bond suggestion. Thanks!
Q: You prefer VIU over MGQE. Are there other ETF's that you would add to increase the 'out of North America' trade?
Q: Surprised that no one has asked about this ETF. According to my BMO chart $10,000 invested 10 years ago would be worth over $90,000 today. May issue of your Money Magazine shows the 5 year average annual return to be 30.4%.

Q: I am an income investor looking for stability with some growth and want to invest in pipelines. I would prefer an ETF like PPLN but the cost is too high with an MER of 0.74 and TER 0.11. If you could only invest in 3 of the above 5 companies, which would you choose? Can you rank the above 5 pipeline companies, from highest growth potential to lowest, over the next 3 years.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Q: I am thinking of buying one of these companies, which one would be your choice. I already own WSP and AtRL.
Thank you very much

Mackenzie GQE Global Equity ETF (MGQE $29.77)
Q: For international exposure, VIU or MFC099, which also has an ETF.
Q: Is this still worth holding? It is down like many type ETFs. CI Global Asset Mgt is to be purchased by Mubadala Capital. Not sure if everything will be "steady as she goes".
