Q: I noticed in the latest BlackRock circular that IWY (iShares Russell Top 200 Growth) has significantly outperformed IWO (iShares Russell 2000 Growth) based on the latest 1 year, 5 year, and 10 year published returns. I assume you like IWO since it is in your growth portfolio. Can you elaborate a little on if/why you might prefer IWO to IWY and would you endorse a switch to IWY at this time for someone already holding IWO?

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have heard that the short sellers of Tesla stock have held the price from going up. Since the recent rise to +420, this is maybe a bit late to ask. However, I have always believed there are buyers and sellers, and that folks who short are simply believing the stock will go down. But, can a significant number of short sellers influence the market and actually help the stock go down ? Thank you for your superior service. Perplexed and curious 5i fan.

Q: Happy New Year Peter and 5i team,
I was thinking of adding Google to my Canadian funds TFSA. It was a recent top pick by two well known analysts on market call. They said that the company is attractively valued, has good growth potential, and good cloud business potential with growing revenues. Do you agree?
What are the consequences of holding a US stock in a can funds TFSA? Is it better to hold in an open account?
Thank you for your opinion

Q: An article in the Fin Post calls Marketaxess the undisputed champion in the S&P financial index for the last decade. Your only comment on this company was in March,2018. The company appeared to have done very well up till then. The CEO was even interviewed that year by Crammer on his show. As I understood that interview, MKTX is sensitive to interest rates, yet it continues to rise in value in this low interest environment. Do you think MKTX is a safe way to have "bond" exposure? Belated season's greetings. Lionel

Q: I have two small positions in CSH.UN (1.3%) and SIS (1.0%), and I wanted to consolidate the invested capital into one holding. I consider them both to be investments within the healthcare space, which is part of the reason for consolidating these two holdings. I am strongly leaning towards selling CSH.UN and buying more SIS. Does this sound reasonable, or is there another option worth considering?
