Q: Hi 5i Team,

Recently you recommended VGG ETF for US exposure as a portion of an RESP portfolio. I see Vanguard also has VIG. Both ETFs have the exact same top 10 holdings. Vanguard has a third ETF in VGH which is the hedged version of VGG. All three ETFs are called US Dividend Appreciation. My question is should I be purchasing VGG (sold in Canadian dollars -but not hedged (?))or VIG (sold in US dollars). It seems that VIG has a MER of 0.10% while VGG has an MER of 0.29%.
Thanks,
Richard

Q: Hi Team,

I understand that this is a little bit outside the focus of 5i, but I was wondering if you guys had any thoughts on TOUR after the investments made on Friday by large firms like Sequoia and Temasek. Could this be China's version of PCLN?

Thanks,

Q: Hi 5i,

Just following up on my question about hedge funds and hedge fund ETFs.

I have found a list of some hedge fund ETFs that have over $100M US in assets and >25K average daily trading volume (for liquidity reasons) and was wondering if any of them would be an acceptable alternative to directly investing in an actual hedge fund. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated, recognizing this is a bit off the main track of your advice.

Here they are:

QAI - IQ Hedge Multi-Strategy Tracker ETF
WDTI - Managed Futures Strategy Fund
RLY - SPDR Multi-Asset Real Return ETF
ALFA - AlphaClone Alternative Alpha ETF
MNA - IQ Merger Arbitrage ETF

Thank you very much.

Michael

Q: Hi Guys
When you look at the sheer number of people within a 5 hour flight from Macau compared to Vegas you would think this gambling stock Las Vegas Sands with a nice dividend has a bright future.
What concerns me is the low book value,compared to the price of the stock.Do they not have valuable real estate holdings.
Finally how would you explain a sell off like 2008, I believe it went from around $100 down to $3.00. Lastly would you buy this stock around this price.
Thanks!

Q: Could I get your opinion on DEO as a US divvy growth stock? Covered by 30 analysts with ranges from "strong buy" to outright "sell" or "reduce"-very annoying! Technically not good looking over the last while. Should I wait or buy? or is there a US name in the booze business you is more favorable? Thank You Ron

Q: Whole Foods reported earnings and did not meet expectations thus the stock is getting punished. Your comments would be welcome and do you think the sell off is overdone and provides a buying opportunity or to buy to lower average cost per share? thank you in advance
