Q: Hi 5i - I have been thinking of starting a half position in Apple, looking at a 3-5 year hold. Do you think the timing is OK or would I be better to add to my current holding in Alphabet which is only a quarter position. Or should I hold off and wait for another market dip. Thanks,

Q: Comments on earnings for MDT please. Should I top up a 2% position? The only other healthcare stock I own is GUD. What other healthcare stock (US) would you add currently?
Also a comment on your service. It has paid for itself many times over! Just yesterday saved $1200 by using Norberts gambit. Something I would not have done if not for being part of the 5i community. Thanks for educating the individual investor.

Q: Hi group I believe that Tech + health + gold will be the leaders when we come out of recession. Can you give me a list of 2 ETFs for each sector along with 2 individual stocks you like for Canada + USA. Am also interested you take on my sectors that will lead the recovery and should I start picking away or wait ???

Q: I am an income oriented investor looking to start withdrawing dividend 5 years from now. If I am looking for a good US high dividend ETF, is SPYD a good choice? I have a small portion, but unsure if I should build it to be a core holding. I liked it because it selects 80 high dividend paying companies from S&P 500. I also have SCHD in my portfolio. There is a small overlap between the two. If SPYD is not good for core holding, can you suggest alternates?

Q: Hi 5i,
We are older retirees and have held ZWB and ZWH
in our RRIFs for income for many years. I just ran a Quicken report on performance and neither performed particularly well. I am about to switch ZWB for ZEB and ZWH for VGG. We can live without the monthly covered call income and I am assuming the replacements will outperform the covered call ETFs in a recovery. Your comments or suggestions are welcome. Thanks for the service.

Q: Hello Peter and Crew,
Could you please comment on these two stocks that were in favour for a while last year, but as much in 2020. Still worth holding to see where they go? They have bounced from the bottom, but certainly not as much as others in comparable spaces.
Thanks,
Brad

Q: Hey 5i,
Despite the downturn and possibly another.
Dividends have been cut and some more are possible. Oil potentially being the longer rebound.
Is their a recommended best "overall" US Dividend ETF.
Overall taking into account Yield. Growth. MER. Somewhat balanced exposure and or limited oil holdings.
Great work as always. Thank you!

Q: Wondering what you think of this BMO ETF, hedged to Cdn dollars. Volume seems to be anemic. It is a world ETF, 66% US, 31% EAFE, 3.5% Canada. Would you prefer one with solely US S&P 500 companies?
Thanks

Q: Hello
I have owned some AIG stock for close to ten year now hopping it would recover from the financial recession like a J.P Morgan for example. Now with COVID it appears it will take some time maybe years before earnings get back on-track. Would you replace with Manulife/Sun Life and Intact this side of the border.
