Q: Hello 5i team,
I have noticed from looking in the past 3 years that most of my losses have been from small cap stocks (BOS,MCB,RRX,RHT,etc...) and almost all of my gains have been from mid to large caps. I would still like to have a certain percent exposure to small caps without buying individual stocks.

-I was wondering if there are ETFs that track small caps in Canada or the US (or and ETF that tracks both) for the very long term?

-Are there some that would have a decent dividend?

-What is an ideal percent allocation for small caps in a diversified portfolio?

Thank You,
Andrew

Q: So sorry, I asked this question yesterday but got the stock ticker wrong! It's not Winpak that I am interested in, it is Winmark on the nasdaq code
I'm thinking of investing in this company. Considering the slow down in the economy, consumer high debt in Canada and possible upcoming recession, I think this is one of the few consumer discretionary companies that might not be too affected. Your thoughts on this company, please. They are consignment stores.Many thanks for your great service! Jen

Q: I hold SIS and also disappointed, but I did purchase at $5.72 so I will watch for now. PLC announced an offering: Park Lawn Corporation Announces $125 Million Bought Deal Offering and Successful Completion of Cress Funeral Service Acquisition. Stock down 6.75%, is this an opportunity to purchase PCL at a discount?
Thanks
