Q: What books/web sites/resources do you recommend that deals with Estate planning for Canadians, ON resident. Something that is easy to decipher with the emphasis on transition of wealth to adult children in a tax advantaged manner?
Unfortunately most of the advisors/banks seem to interested in selling Universal/Whole Life insurance or asking to make their organisations be the Trustee/co-executor. Prefer that is something conflict free like 5i !!
Thanks in advance.

Q: You have mentioned on occasion that the Tech sector tends to be the hot sector during the last quarter of the year.
The market is behaving quite well at the moment with a reasonable amount of optimism. Do you expect there to be a shift from investing in the tech sector to other sectors given the current investment climate?
Which sector(s) would you think will most benefit from any possible shift of funds in Canada and the US? Or has it already happened?

Q: I feel like I'm consulting an oracle here but I am wondering what your thoughts are on an impending correction. My concern is with respect to the amount of people chasing up tech and marijuana stocks especially. Everything has risen so much in the last 6-12 months that I can't help but think we are over due for a pullback. Would it be wise to sit on the sidelines and wait? I hate to miss out on the party but I'd rather lose a bit of upside here and be able to take advantage of a possible major pullback than be the last one out the door after the party is over. Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
I have some cash sitting in a US account that I want to leave on the sidelines for now. I was thinking I should put this in something that gives me a bit of return but won't crash with markets if they crash. Is there a good proxy for cash that provides some yield that you can suggest which would be US Dollar denominated?
Thanks,
Marc

Q: Hello Peter and team,
Ishares and Vanguard both have world Ex Canada ETFs that are 50% U.S.and 50% everything else. Is there an advantage to owning US and International ETFS separately that can be rebalanced, or is a product like this a good one as there are less fees incurred to buy and sell? Do the managers of the EX Canada ETFs rebalance their holdings? Thank you.
