Q: I am interested in investing in this US etf SRVR which holds 45 percent of its funds in American Tower, Crown Castle, and Equinix mainly for the anticipated rollout of 5G. Bill Gates has just recently bought into Crown Castle. This etf has only been on the market since last May but has a 15 percent return to date. Can you tell me if this etf looks good as opposed to buying individual stocks as I prefer the etf basket approach. Thanks.

Q: I would like to set up an simple and safe American portfolio that does not deliver any dividends (no tax consequences). Berkshire Hathaway comes to mind as a diversified holding. Are there any others that you could suggest?

Q: Hi 5i Team - My holding in TSGI is a little bit high so I am considering selling a partial position and moving it into another gaming stock in order to diversify in this space. First of all is it worth holding on to at least some (maybe half) of my TSGI and secondly could you provide your top picks in the gaming area with a brief explanation for each. Thank you.

Q: Hello, What do you think of BBBY? Although it has had a recent significant rise, I believe that it still trades below book value and the company is aggressively buying back stock. . It seems to be transitioning from brick to online and is still profitable albeit with decreasing metrics. Could you also tell me what was the short position last October and what it is nowadays. Do you know when they report next? Merci.

Q: I am disappointed in the lower returns of Canadian apartment reits, and can't bring myself to buy Pure Multifamily (RUF.UN) because of the high payout ratio. Are there any US apartment reits that you might suggest I have a look at? I am targeting a dividend of 5% or more.
Thanks!

Q: Hi. I own 2 US stocks, Pfizer and J&J. Have become overweight in J&J so will have some US funds to deploy. I am retired and am a dividend investor with minimum risk. I read with interest your answer to Keith that Verizon and Telus about the same and JPM and Royal Bank similar. You indicated best to invest in areas in the US like Industrials, Tech or large consumer stocks. Appreciate what stocks you recommend in these areas as well as your thoughts on Verizon.
