Q: In our RRSP we hold the above etfs for US exposure. Does 5i see any sector not covered with these ETFs?
Or would you recommend selling any of these ETFs due to too much overlap? We are approaching retirement, but I don’t think that would be a factor in this question. Thank you

Q: Judging by this mornings pre-market action, investors don’t seem to like the Flipkart deal. Is this because of the hit on the earnings in the short/mid term?

Q: Hello 5i:
can you advise on the ETF HQH? I'd like more US exposure, in US dollars and would see this as a very small part of the portfolio. I'm attracted by the yield, and by the fact that Biotech in general has been pretty beaten up; meaning little downside with good upside. I'm thinking of holding in a TFSA, if an investment is made.
thanks

Q: Can you provide a few names that would benefit from the rise of autonomous vehicles? I'm a bit leery of TSLA because Elon Musk seems to have gone off the deep-end lately. I also think companies like ACQ could be in trouble because fewer cars will purchased in the long-term.

Q: Thoughts on Arista Networks?

Also, if I bought this company back in January for a long-term hold how much homework do I need to do moving forward? The volatility doesn't bother me I just never know when a pullback is due to a long term structural issue or short term trading activity. There is a lot of noise out there!
