Q: Hi 5i team,
How do you feel about Blackrock (BLK) in the US? Seems with more and more people moving towards index investing, and with the rise of robo-advisors, this would be a good way to play that trend. Seems to have a solid dividend and pulled back a bit recently.
Any comments or reasons to avoid? Perhaps a different company to think about?
Thanks and happy holidays.

Q: Am I possibly missing something, I am setting up a portfolio for my Grandchildren over 15 year time frame.
Considering - dis, goog, fb, amzn. Set it and forget it.
With the current US ex, is this a detriment over the long time frame.

Q: I would like clarification on hedging when buying USD securities via a CDN ETF: if the USD is going up and by comparison the loonie going down is it to your advantage to buy a hedged product or not? I am a little confused as I am sure there are times when hedged is good, and others, when it is not? Intuition tells me know is the time for hedged to protect loonie denominated ETF holding USD securities. The ETF XHY holds Us corp.: with interest rates going up in very small increments in the USA this should cause bond yields to go up as people move their money somewhere else - or not?
Q: For a non hedged etf would VUN be a good choice for USA exposure?
Is there one you would recommend?
Thanks

Q: what are your thoughts on the Disney Downgrade last week? Especially with what looks to be a big success in star wars so far. Is there alot to be concerned about with weakness in espn subscribers?
Q: Hi 5i: There are actually two questions, which for me are linked. First, could I have your opinion on Adobe Systems. It seems expensive (not surprising) but maybe not so much given good growth. Second, how do you think Disney will fare with respect to the ESPN issue - I have heard differing opinions on the likely impact. I am considering at least a partial switch from DI to ADBE and would value your opinion. Roland

Q: In your response to Marc about the C$, you state ... "If the Canadian dollar rises, you will want to have a C$ hedged ETF". Can you pick a couple of ETF's that could benefit with a bottoming out C$.
Q: In light of the fact there has been no indication of Canadian interest-rate movement, can you suggest a handful of U.S. insurers with decent dividends. And a ETF in that space as well.
Thanks for the great service

Q: I am looking for a Canadian ETF that tracks the Nasdaq and one that tracks the Russell 2000. I am looking for a product that is not hedged to the Canadian dollar. From what I gather this is not available.

Q: Good Afternoon: My question is really currency related rather than Visa specifically. I own a few US stocks including Visa which fortunately for me I purchased when there was not as much difference between the US and Canadian dollar. As a result of stock performance and the difference in currency valuation I have done well. I would like to make a few more US purchases but cant make myself do so with the almost 40% hit. In my opinion some time in the future our dollar will get stronger. Do you have any suggestions or can you recommend Canadian companies or ETF's that I can buy without being so concerned about the currency. Thank You.
Q: RBC has a Top Pick rating on this stock. It continues to implode. Is it year end selling or is there some other underlying cause. I've averaged down based on RBC rating but it's continuing to drop. Thoughts ??
