Investment Q&A

Q: Hi ? I have done well with RBF1030 (RBC Life Science & Technology).
Do you see a net advantage to replace it with one or two ETFs ? If so, which ones ?
Thank you so much for your clear and concise reply to my recent question on US tech stocks. Most helpfull. Just what I needed.

Q: In our RRSP we hold the above etfs for US exposure. Does 5i see any sector not covered with these ETFs?
Or would you recommend selling any of these ETFs due to too much overlap? We are approaching retirement, but I don’t think that would be a factor in this question. Thank you

Q: Good Morning 5i team,
I have been looking into cleaning up my portfolio. On the US side i was thinking of taking Buffet's advice and just buy VOO. When I look at the top ten holdings of that fund, though, I note that I already hold three of the top ten in the portfolio in at a pretty good percentage: Goog, jnj, jpmorgan. I also own as well another large selection: 3M, mdt, pepsi, and proctor and gamble.

The question arises whether I should just buy two or three of the top ten and run a ETF myself?

Another question; the concentration of teck names in VOO/s top ten is quite low, Apple at 3.5% and Amazon a little less. It seem like these are the main stocks I am missing and the question then becomes, "Should I go for QQQ, which has apple at 11 % and Amazon at 9%? Although all the rest is technology as well, which I don<t want that much of. The problem is that I would like to have more teck but probably not as much as QQQ. Any other choices?
thanks

Q: Good morning.... we are 15 years away before we may need to access our RRSP..
We sold all enegy (although would be okay with one "best of class" or ETF)..
I have a solid mix of similar weightings (BCE,BEP.UN,BNS,PBH,ATD.B,FSZ,SJ,GUD SIS). I would like fixed income/US/International exposure...I will be adding XHY..
I am looking for suggestions for either a few ETF you recommend for US/International exposure...keeping in mind we would not need to withdraw for at least 15 years..and if you think should have a minimum of 5% in energy or alternate AI ETF...

Thanks
Matt

Q: Hi Guys,

How worried will the market be when or "if" Warren Buffet steps away from the company. Will the stock be hit hard? Should I move my funds from BRK.B to either QQQ or SPY. How would you rank the 3 of them.

thanks,

Jim

Q: Looking to spread my Technology investments into US$ shares in one of these 3 positions. All seem to be doing extremely well and appear quite similar to each other. Share prices go from $128-$52-$17 and psychologically I have an aversion to paying over $100/share (I know there is no rational to that).
Would appreciate your analysis of these 3 and recommendation or any others in this arena.

thx

Q: Yesterday BNN guest suggested TRP.PR.K to use as a saving account as it is a reset with a minimum 4.5% reset or better. For those of us with excess cash do you recommend using this security as an alternate to a MMF?

QQQX was pointed out to me as an interesting CEF with a 7.1% yield as well as some very interesting growth oriented holdings. What do you think about this CEF?

With thanks

Sheldon

Q: A few years ago you recommended to me the Powershares ETF QQQ for the IT portion of my holdings. It has been a very good performer, thanks. I also own CSU, MDA & ENGH.

Do you still recommend QQQ as your top ETF pick? Are there any other items you would recommend looking at. It can be a stock, mutual fund or etf.

Thanks

Paul
