Q: I have too much exposure to the CAD market and too less internationally.

Could you provide me with 2 etfs that have caught your attention the past 12-24 months. One which is A growth oriented etf with more risk as well as another which is a slow boring low MER etf with a 2-3% yield which less risk.

Thanks for the recommendations in advance.

Q: I would very much appreciate explaining the difference between ARK and Evolve Etf's. Are ARKs actively managed while Evolves are passively managed? Would you please choose two or three of each that have a balance between better growth and lower risk and provide good diversification.
Thanks.

Q: What do you see hapening to engh in the next 3-6 months. I sold it for a good gain in my unregistered account at the recent highs. I bought back in ( in a registered acccount) after the pullback and when I started seeing what I thought was a bottom earlier this month. However the slow decline seems to be continuing...Have I missed something driving the price down? You seem to be favouring other tech names these days which is partially why I sold it. The plan was to buy back in, havest the yield from the special and feb div and hopefully get a small price gain as well in the next few month then swicth to one of your recent more favoured tech stocks ( likely lspd). If you see no strong reason for the recent pullback I will hold ( my feeling) , if you think the decline is cause for concern ( I've missed some news or issue) I woull likely sell and move another name now.

Q: Good afternoon 5i,

As a more conservative investor but looking for growth. Volatility no problem and some risk ok.
I don't view these in the same light. 22 year time frame.
I have anchored my portfolio TFSA / RRSP with ETF'S.
VTI, QQQ, XIT, VEE
The TSX are blue-chip dividend stocks for added
stability and ATD.B, BAM.A, GSY, KXS
Could you please rate my prospective ETF'S. Which would you invest in for this time frame and much needed boost for my portfolio. Or one that I missed?

ARKK, SKYY, CLOU, SOXX, SMH, QQQJ

Thank you very much.

Q: What do you think of Good Year tires? How are they valued versus peers (and what metrics are best?) and are there any alternative better tire companies in the US or Canada?

Electric cars burn through tires way faster than regular cars - everyone seems to be thinking about EV companies and the batteries - what do you think of the long-term tire play?
