Q: Hi Peter, What do you think about these tech companies: RFMD and TQNT (which apparently are merging to create QRVO). Also, CODE and IMOS. Would any of these fit as a buy? If so, would they be ok in registered and/or non-registered account?

Thank you!

Q: I held this stock and then got nervous about losses, or potential losses and sold it during a choppy period at $48.35 and now it's $62.94. I wouldn't mind making another investment in US Technology stocks, so should I go back to RHT or look for something else?
I guess I need to build up my fortitude for those choppy periods!

Q: Hello 5i team.

I have read that your favourite US dividend ETF is VIG. I own the TSX listed version (VGG) in my RRSP. Although, there is no withholding tax on dividends in an RRSP, there seem to be some erosion from taxes within VGG itself. Can you recommend a US dividend etf that is efficient to hold within an RRSP?

I note that the total return of VIG has been less than VV. Is this compensated for by lower volatility?

Thanks,
Hans

Q: Hi Team,

I'm looking for a single etf or low cost mutual fund to diversify my tfsa portfolio which currently holds only Canadian equities.

A fund that caught my eye was prpfx which is supposedly modeled on the "permanent portfolio". What are your thoughts on this fund.

Are there other products that contain fixed income and international equity which you would suggest I consider? Do you have a favorite?

Thank you very much for all of your helpful answers.

Q: Great job you are doing. Could you please tell me about this ETF, other than low volume could you give me your recommendation for a 2 year or more hold in a RSP. It would be a 3-4% holding with another US ETF, XSP, at about 5%. Do you have any other choices and why. Thanks
