Q: GSY's YTD results are disappointing and in spite of the many positive touts (including 5i), I am losing patience in the almost 39% drop so far.

I've been interested in DOL for some time, would you recommend a swap of GSY to DOL at their current prices today? Or should I wait for the GSY report due on 11/10 before I do anything? Please advise.

Q: Hello Peter,
Is VFV and XSP about the same except one is hedged? I have held Sienna and Chartwell for a long time and I thought from a demographic point , they would be great long term holds.. I am down alot but the dividend is great. Are these two good long term holds or since covid, the recovery maybe too long of a time given the high interests that we see. Thanks very much

Q: When looking at dividend ETF performance, are reinvested dividends included, or is the stated performance capital appreciation only, e.g. Morningstar performance for CDZ shows a 3.5% dividend and a 5 year total return of 6%.
Thanks Peter

Q: Hello, Can I get your take on how the markets react during a recession? It seems we are heading into a recession in 2023. Do markets drop further? Do company earnings drop? What sectors if any do you see doing okay during a recession? Do I hold off on buying stocks till middle of 2023 and just stick some money in short term gic/treasury bills? Trying to figure out how to prepare my portfolio for a recession. Thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

I currently have some capital to deploy and I am looking to increase my exposure to the industrial sector. I have been watching ATA & CJT as potential candidates. What do you believe would be a good entry point for these stocks? Are there others you could recommend in the sector that would have better prospects?

I have a high risk tolerance and I am looking to hold these stocks for 5+ years.

Thanks again for all that you guys do.

Greg C.

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i!!!
First, I would like to thank everyone for your support and hand holding in these trying market times!! You have helped me keep panic and the temptation of emotional selling at bay. My question: I am building TFSA’s for my kids . Could you please give me 5 long term holds either US or Canadian which you think hold decent growth prospects for the future for them . I understand that you do not have a manic crystal ball . Cheers, Tamara
