Q: Could I get your suggestions for some $CDN ETFs to invest for a toddler's RESP. I was thinking maybe a split between a tech-based ETF and a general North American-based ETF, but am open to any other ideas. There is not too much in the RESP at the moment, but it does have years to go, so growth is the main goal.
Thank-you

Q: Hi, I've sold IYW for a decent gain in a US rsp account. I would like to consider 2 US stocks with reasonable dividend. I currently hold ICLN and RBLX as US stocks. Can you suggest a few US dividend stocks or ETF to consider? Thanks.

Q: Ignoring the risk that come with a Chinese company, how would you currently evaluate BABA's business as a long term investment? I'm interested to hear your thoughts on the business aspects you typically focus on, such as management, earnings growth potential, debt, cash flow, runway etc.? Thanks

Q: Hi
I also hold BEP/UN and AQN. Being that BEPC is at break even now, I am wondering if I should hold it, or switch it out for BLX if BLX has more potential for growth over time. Would you have a different suggestion than BLX? Your thoughts on this would be appreciated!
Thanks for all your hard work - Dawn

Q: Hi 5i,
I'm lucky yo be up 100% in KEY over the past little more than a year in a registered account and based on my buy in price I receive a healthy 12% annual dividend. Although I know it can be thought of as a utility I realize KEY is more properly classed as an Energy stock and I also hold significant weight in ENB and TOU, so paring down Utility/Energy weight would be OK. I'm wondering if KEY's future growth and dividend prospects are strong enough that I ought to just hold on to all of this (so far) very good thing, or if it might be both prudent and rewarding to sell 1/2 and buy into GSY with the proceeds. I hold both CM and BNS but in reasonable weights and mainly for dividend growth, and I wonder if looking for some torque from GSY with the profit I've made in KEY makes sense.
I'd sure appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.
Peter

Q: EQX: hold no gold stocks. Thinking might be a good idea with all the debt. floating around as a hedge against that and inflation. I was thinking of this company; however, concerned about the location of the mines in S.A. - stability? Any comment of location of mines and % of total production - risk - political etc.?

Q: I bought opening positions in these three names a few months ago. I am down on all three and they now each represent less than 1%. I'd like to consolidate by eliminating one. Which one would you sell? Which one of the two remaining ones would you boost with the proceeds today?

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and 5i Team.
My question is regarding position weightings. I have trimmed TFII once since I have owned it but it continues to run and now represents about 8% of the account it is in. (Thank you so much for the original recommendation) I have owned CSU since $88 (Thanks again) and trimmed it along the way as well. After the last time I trimmed CSU I vowed to never trim it again unless Mark Leonard sells out or the wheels really fall off. How do you approach position weightings when the trend is your friend ? Thank you for your ongoing help. DL
