Q: I see you continue to have faith in Goeasy. On the weekend the Toronto Star had an article on potential reductions to the maximum allowable interest rate for the alternative lending market. As a longterm holder, and knowing of your previous position that this has been a potential concern for years, I’m wondering if this time is different. An unpopular government, public anger at corporate profits, a usury rate set when interest rates were much higher all lead me to believe the maximum rate might finally be reduced. Your thoughts please.

Q: 1.For Canadian coverage would you choose xic, vcn or xiu?
2.Would it be worth putting half the total amount in one of the above(xic, vcn, or xiu)and the other half in vdy?
3.For the U,S. allocation should I choose vig or spy which both require payment in u.s. dollars which I don't have, or would it be adequate to simply choose vun.

Thanks in advance. I plan to hold these allotments for many years and I appreciate dividends but do not need them for my living expenses.

Q: Dear 5i,
If you were to invest 1 to 2% in a TFSA for a minimum 3 to 5Y hold in either LCFS or TWM which one would it be? Can you please comment on the debt levels of each? Can you please comment on how significant the carbon credits are for each? Would you expect tax selling for these two in the next couple of months and what do you think would be a very attractive entry price?
