Q: It has been over a year since you were asked for an opinion on Vail Resorts, please provide us an update on its future prospects and whether you view it as a buy, hold or sell. Am thinking of swapping this for something in US consumer defensive or healthcare, such as Walmart, Costco or Pfizer, a RRIF portfolio so income and stability with steady growth are important. What do you think of this change? Which would be your first choice of the listed options? Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i,

Currently looking for additional US stock exposure and I am considering either FLGT or PERI as potential candidates. Sector allocation is not a factor.

Between these two companies which, in your opinion, has the best runway for growth over the next 5+years?

Thank you in advance,

Greg C.

Q: Hi team,

I currently have IWO as a core holding. I would like to change to a more concentrated ETF holding either in small or mid cap US. With so many different factors to choose from such as large/medium/small cap, dividend/value/growth/blend, current valuations, etc... and looking at past returns over various time periods, how does one choose the best ETF to invest in going forward now? I would consider all these ETF's to be high quality and obviously no one knows what the range of future returns will be. With small/mid cap underperforming lately vs large cap, would you place your bets on that spread closing over time? I'm comfortable with volatility and have a long term time horizon (+15yrs). How would you rank these going forward for best risk adjusted returns?

Thank you!

Q: I've enjoyed a little pop in the last month or two on a few coal stocks (ceix, amr). Do you think the demand for steel (arising from Biden's USA infrastructure builds) will continue to create demand for steel. I note that when you've been asked about Ceix in the past, you've pointed to coal being in secular decline, presumably referring to the heating-use application of coal. What do you think about the thesis that coal will enjoy a boom due to the anticipated demand for steel arising from the upcoming massive USA infrastructure projects? One must also assume that Ukraine will need some steel build out when the war ends.

I am trying decide whether to take profits or whether to let it roll.


Thank you,

Jason
