Q: I am looking for a US dollar denominated ETF with a good yield and covering mostly large, stable companies. I was considering SPYV (I like the P/E, yield and expense ratio here) or DVY. Could I have your opinion on these choices? Do you have other suggestions?

Q: CDAY has been on my radar since the IPO. I know that Lululemon uses the"dayforce" software for managing employee scheduling and forecasting labour needs. How long would you usually allow a company to trade after an IPO before getting interested. Where did the IPO come out and what do you think of the current valuation and future growth potential. What is your opinion of the balance sheet.

Thanks team,

Q: I currently hold VYMI for large cap international dividend income. There is a fairly new Fidelity product holding international large cap ( FIDI) . Do you see any advantages of FIDI over VYMI? Do you consider VYMI a reasonable ETF for international exposure? It is down recently. Would you continue to hold this investment? Thank you kindly for a comparison of the above efts and for your comments on continuing to hold VYMI.

Q: Dear 5i Team,

Thanks for the great service. Most of my holdings are the ones recommended by you or other conservative dividend paying stocks. This one time, I bought a small amount of KODK few months ago. The news was that KODAK was going to have its own version of bitcoin. Anyways, the stock is down 51%. Do you recommend selling it and take the loss. Also it is in my TFSA, so can't write off capital loss against capital gain.

In the past I've held and eventually sold; KKR(kkr), Blackstone(bx), Carlyle(cg) and W.P. Carey(wpc).


At one time or another each has been reviewed by analysts on BNN ----- but never have I seen or heard of a review about Main Street Capital Research (MAIN).


Why is that ? Is there something about MAIN that makes it an inferior investment to the others ?


Would you have a preference among these 5 financial stocks?
