Q: Please recommend a CAD unhedged US tech ETF and CAD unhedged US industrial ETF or any ETF which has a combination of both and would you buy at this time? Long term hold (10+ years) and medium to high risk. Thanks.

Q: I feel that management deceived their shareholders. "The Company has agreed to the buy-out of the contractual bonus compensation arrangements with the CEO". He took a huge payment. "These executives will remain in their respective positions, with current base salaries and benefits continuing, along with a new bonus plan." That is an outright lie. No sooner did he get his huge payment then the CEO announces his retirement. Really deceitful. Time to hang up on this company?

Q: First off I just want to say thank you so much for your special report you issued last week. For a young investor like myself who has never been through events like we currently are experiencing your advice has been extremely valuable to help navigate these uncharted waters.

I have been sitting on some cash and would like to increase my technology (both Canada and the US) exposure as it is low right now. I am comfortable with moderate risk. I have a few questions on this subject so feel free to subtract as many credits as you see fit:
1) For Canadian tech companies, after reading your special report and the Q&A's, it seems you like CSU, KXS, DSG, and SHOP. Would you recommend buying these individual companies (or others?) or would XIT be a reasonable alternative with these 4 companies composing ~61%? Or is there another tech etf you would suggest?
2) For US tech companies (or any US company for that matter), with the Canadian dollar being low, would you recommend looking at specific US companies or a Canadian ETF that holds US tech companies? I am worried the exchange would eat into possible returns. Do you have any recommendations (e.g. I have seen you mention XQQ for an etf, SKYY highlighted in etfupdate, and companies like MSFT, GOOG, TEAM, etc)?

Thanks for all that you do.

Q: I'm looking for some diversity in tech as well as yield, Cisco looks like a potential candidate. Considering the exciting times we just got into, would you see it as a solid buy if the yield hit 5%. I'm looking for good yield, good growth, low debt, and high cash. You know, the kind of investment we don't deserve.

Q: Hi 5i Crew,
I have the funds to purchase a position in one of either NVDA, TEAM or TTD (in a fairly diversified portfolio). Considering the recent pullback and economic deterioration due to covid19, what is your take on these companies short and long term? Would it be prudent to jump in now with depressed valuations? Thanks in advance.
