Q: What Canadian listed ETFs that are invested more so in growth stocks would be suitable for a TFSA with a mid to long term horizon? I wish to have geographic diversification through one or more ETFs and one or more ETFs investing in small to mid-cap stocks. If there are mutual funds that have better performance, after fees, please list as well.

Q: Hi 5i! I'm a middle-aged subscriber that has picked up some of the 5i researched companies - most recently Kinaxis and BNS. I'm slightly overweight Kinaxis and Shopify since I see them as potential growth engines. KXS, TOY, NVDA, SHOP, FB, and BNS are all in my non-reg account. If I need cash this year for personal projects, which companies might you recommend I start selling? Thanks!

Q: What is your view on NFLX at this point? The recovery has been very nice, but I am wondering it is getting close to pull-back again. The increase in pricing will help earnings, but could they be doing that to offset a slowdown in sign-ups? Also, competition seems to be coming fast and furious now. Your thoughts?

Thanks

Is there a low volatility ETF traded in US similar to BMO's ZLU?

Q: Hi there,

This stock has not recovered at all and seems to be heading down further. I have owned for a long time but this trading pattern seems a bit unusual. Is there some news i have missed. From what i can tell from the last quarters report, all of its business lines are expected to continue growing for the next 3+ years.

Thoughts?
