Q: I am 30 years old and have built a sector diversified portfolio of around 25 names from the TSX worth approx 200k. I also have a pension invested conservatively in bonds/mutual funds worth approx 100k. I would like to invest all additional cash for the next few years in 3 or 4 ETF's to diversify out of Canada instead of adding to my Canadian portfolio. Do you see any major flaws in my theory? also could you suggest 2 or 3 ETF's to start out with. My thoughts were: VOO, VEA, and IJR. Thanks

Q: Can I get your thoughts on this very new etf launched by purefunds? Has 36 stocks of companies involved in video games. Has a very small cap of 2.6m. The gaming industry is an evolving industry and judging by the price of video games constantly increasing in price that my kids have no problem in forking out the dough for, revenue should increase for the companies. More companies are getting involved in the online gaming such as Amazon buying twitch, Facebook launching Oculus Rift and China's gaming market is expected to double over the next 4 yrs. This etf would seem to be a winner. I know it is a very risky etf and probably have to hold for a few yrs but what do you think?
Q: I bought this quite recently as its valuation seemed decent and the stock seemed to be firmly in recovery mode. Do your resources indicated why it dropped 14% today? This is not a small cap stock...
Q: Hi,
Can you comment on whether you think the recent drop in stock price is because of the lawsuit directed against ValueAct and what effect it will continue to have an effect on the stock price?
additionally, what do you think of BHI at these prices for a two year hold?

Q: Hi 5i Team,
Do you consider Allergan "cheap" with the stock trading around at $235.00?
What is their EPS 2015, 16 and/or 17? How is their balance sheet and would you consider them one of the "better" US healthcare companies?
Thanks, Shane

Q: My Canadian portfolio closely follows your BE Model and is approx.75% of the total. The remaining 25% is invested as follows in more or less equal amounts: Apple, Abbvie, Bank of America, Alphabet, HEWJ, Wells Fargo, and ZDM. I have sufficient US$ for another foreign position. I'm leaning towards IWO or EEM/VWO. May I have your thoughts and advice please.
Q: I hold Amaya shares in both my Canadian and U.S. accounts. I would like to sell my U.S. shares (at a loss) and use the money to buy shares in a U.S. company that is growth oriented rather than income and is small to mid-cap. It does not have to be specifically related to the gaming field. Thanks.
Q: Hi all,
Wondering what your take is on Energous Corp if you have followed it much? I know they are still small and risky but the potential of the product seems to be pretty big. It has been on a rally of late and if you look at footnote 2 in small green writing at the bottom of the following link it appears as though Q1 performance shares have been granted: http://stkw.it/y3tS
Appreciate your insight, thanks.

Q: Hi 5i:
Your last comment on Endo (ENL, ENDP.US) was Feb 29th and at that point you thought that it was unduly beaten down by the market given the company’s recent performance and outlook. That was when it was over $40 US. Now that it is under $30 US, what do you make of it? Is it worth continuing to hold or have fundamentals deteriorated to the point where alternative holdings in the same space look much better? How does it stack up on a comparison with CXR? Thanks!

Q: Hi Team
I am well diversified and have about 17% in US Stocks. I have a bit of US cash and would like to purchase a non US unhedged (if you think best) ETF with a lowish MER. I will hold in my RRIF. Of course I would like growth and am not chasing dividends on this. I would hold for 2 to 5 years. VXUS or ????. Thanks guys for all you do.
