Q: Hello Peter and Ryan
CGI has done very well for me and I am considering trimming it and applying the funds to FLIR, a company you have frequently recommended. Could I have your opinion on this move?
Thanks for everything. ( Really like the changes! Between you and your clients I am learning daily. Also reading Market Masters. Great read.)

Q: Hello 5i Team,

Could you please suggest a couple solid U.S diversified growth stocks(Berkshire type company) with good management and insider ownership for a long term hold in an RRSP account. I do not follow the U.S market very closely and I was thinking about adding BlackRock(BLK) but perhaps there are better up and coming private equity type companies? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Keith

Q: Hi,

I recently opened an RESP account for my daughter and am looking for advice on a few ETFs to purchase that provide some long term growth potential, while being appropriately diversified.

Given that i an just starting to save in this account, I'm starting from a small balance, roughly $2,000, i would prefer to only purchase a couple ETFs to limit transaction costs. I have a relatively long time horizon (18 years).

Thanks

Q: Someone suggest XAW (iShares Core MSCI All Country World ex Canada Index ETF ) for 50% of the investment portfolio. This ETF includes 54% US stock and the remaining in International stock excluding Canada. In your opinion, for a large investment amount, will one single ETF work well for the investors? If not, what other ETF should be added to benefit from the better US economy? Please comment and suggest.
