Q: In my portfolio 10 top equities (stocks or ETFs) comprise 30.8 % of the total. In your opinion is this an appropriate weighting? Or there is some rule to it? None of the stocks is over 5% in its weighting and one global EFT is slightly over 5 %.
Thank you as always for your advice and recommendations

Q: I bought AMZN around the time that the pandemic hit in March 2020 at $2000/share and then rode it up to an all time high of $3770 in the summer of 2021. Since then the stock is down $500-$600 -- which is basically the level its been at throughout most of 2021 -- except for that "blip" in July 2021. The reason for my message is a request to convince me why I should hang on to AMZN -- when what I really want to do is sell. Thanks!

Q: Good day team,

Please excuse me if this question has been asked before but is there an international focused etf I can contribute to in my tfsa where I don't have to pay withholding taxes? If so, can you list a few please?

Cheers

Q: Dear 5i,

does VIXY behave like a leveraged ETF such that they are not suitable for buy and hold investors. I understand that leveraged ETF's reset every day and there is price erosion so they are only suitable for short term investing. Would VIXY be ok for a buy and hold investor who believes that there was going to be a significant correction in the overall US market in the medium to long term? Your thoughts are much appreciated.

Q: Would you foresee any specific potential drivers for upside (looking for total return/compounding growth rather than specific dividend income) in one of these transportation companies over the other? I am trying to decide between them for a position in a long term hold RRSP portfolio. Thank you.
