Q: Hello

Our US holdings are up 36.25%, where as our Canadian holdings are only up 17.22%.
The five mentioned above are our only real shining stars at this point.
Is one better to have all US holdings and forget Canada?
Thank you
Mike

Q: Real Matters has experienced weakness in the last few months (as most of your readers know).

But in the past week, there was a gap down and I think it has more to do with their competitive position in the market related to the pending merger between CoStar and Corelogic (which I would think is Real Matters competition). What do you think about this? Do you know if this will have a material change in their ability to gain market share in the Appraisals business?

Q: Hi 5i
Clovus health was recently subject of a short sellers report by Hindenberg and the stock has tanked.
Are you able to provide an opinion as to the merits of the claims?
Would you would be interested in this company going forward, would you wait for clouds to clear or maybe steer clear altogether. Risk level?
Can you provide a few suggestions for couple alternative companies in similar space?
Thx
Jim

Q: Hi 5i
My son-in-law has a Registered Disability Savings Plan, and I'm going to help him to invest and manage the money to achieve growth with low to moderate risk. He's only 30 so has many years to grow his (and the Government's) contributions. Presently, he only has a mutual fund in it, the Mackenzie Ivy Global Balanced Fund which I've discovered has a 2.38% MER.
Firstly, I'd like to replace this mutual fund with a low cost ETF that is relatively safe but can still show some good growth. To this end, can you recommend two or three Canadian ETFs that might be suitable for me to do further research on.
Secondly, in addition to an ETF, at this time he wants to have some single stocks in the RDSP as well. Can you please recommend three or four Canadian blue-chip type growth equities, and that would be of interest to a millennial...so not too boring : )
Thank you!
