Q: Hi,
My brother is a Primerica agent (err..salesperson). Im not big on Primerica as a company at all. He keeps pushing though about this large cap fund ( http://www.fidelity.ca/cs/Satellite/en/public/products/mutual_funds/equity_funds/cdn_equity/bu) supposed to have great long term returns. One of the things I don't like about this is the management rate of 2.28%.
Im not an active investor, but have some exposure to real estate (through reits) and a little finance through CM.
I am young and have tfsa savings and want to invest in long term growth (etfs maybe?). Could you offer some recommendations on good long term low cost, passive investments?

Your website is awesome and Ill be signing up as a member tonight!

Thanks
Dave

Q: When I sent this yesterday, I did put in the name of the companies, as well as the symbols.
I will give it another try. Aerovironment (AVAV) and Ultimate Software (ULTI). Hope this works. Both these companies are U.S.
I know these companies have had questions submitted in the past, but I am now unable to access. Thanks.

Q: Hello:
What is your opinion about this company (Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corp. Class C
NYSE: AGM), considering the financials as a long term hold? I was considering the COW etf but the MER and some of the companies owned within COW are not to my liking..Would this be a good option for the agriculture sector (although it is really financials) in the longterm.. Thanks. Regards, Shyam
