Q: I know you don't know where the bottom is in this market meltdown (I wish you did and could tell us - am I the only one owning stocks right now?), but do you have an idea on what the conditions will look like that will stop the meltdown? In your opinion, is this really all corona virus oriented or are there some other forces at play here, and if so what might they be?
Q: Hi 5i team,
Are there US treasury long term bonds etfs traded on TSX that you will recommend? Are these unhedged with similar return to those traded on US exchanges? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I am looking for a recommendation of an ETF to invest in US dividends for a non registered account, trading on the TSX. I would like a combination of dividend growers and some higher dividend names in the fund
Thank you!

Q: I'm going to retire next year and have recently received a inheritance. I have this money in a non registered account. PA is telling me that I need more US and international exposure. I'm looking at ETF's with dividends but being non Canadian holding I will not get the tax credit. Should I still look at dividend ETF's and not worry about the tax? I have a low to median risk for these non Canadian ETF's. I have a diversified group of large cap Canadian stocks to take advantage of the dividend tax credit. Can you give me some names to look at buying?
Thanks Greg

Q: Hi Team, My friend was convinced to buy this fund. What can you tell me about its performance, distribution, cost on closing the position & management fee. What better alternative can she consider as first time investor? Exchange traded funds?
Thank you
Thank you
- Global X US Dollar Currency ETF (DLR)
- Vanguard U.S. Total Market Index ETF (CAD-hedged) (VUS)
- Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI)
Q: Good morning - I have owned VUS (CAD hedged US Total Market ETF) for many years in a taxable account. I would like to switch to VTI (the un-hedged version of the same ETF) but would realize a large capital gain. Is there any way an individual could synthetically gain the same USD exposure via a swap or option contract? I would obviously like to avoid high fees to do this. Thanks
Q: Dear Team,
Recently I purchased AC at $49.50 and now it has really dropped. Would you advise to hang on to it and would this even be a good time to purchase more?
Some advice would really be appreciated. It is about 2% of my portfolio.
Thank you,
John G.

Q: Hi 5i team,
There is no much working in the market these days, which I guess is an understatement. Two stocks that are positively correlated with the virus are MRNA and GILD. There is only one dated question on MRNA. It is developing a potential vaccine for the disease. There is a recent question on GILD, but you did not mention the potential of the drug it is developing to treat people with the disease, likely due to how the question was posed. Both companies are fast-tracking their efforts. MRNA seems to have gone parabolic and hence, looks a lot more risky here. GILD was a value trap for years with a poor pipeline but seems to be breaking out now, which I attribute to the potential of the new drug, if it works.
What are your thoughts on MRNA and GILD is view of their efforts to combat the coronavirus?
Thanks again.
Dave

Q: Good Morning
I find it curious that Gold is going up +$15 but most of the gold stocks are going down. I appreciate that the stocks may be just following the market but it is still countrt intuitive. Are the gold stocks a good buy here?
Thanks as always

Q: I am watching and waiting for the market to settle down and then the market will take another step or steps higher in the coming months and years. I will be adding to my current complement of stocks with the cash that I have recently set aside. Any other advice?
Q: North American markets have had a great run the past two years and now it looks like we are in for a prolonged period of selling, especially given that the corvid 19 virus is not a "one off" event but a protracted worry and uncertainty exacerbated by disinformation on social media. The markets were long overdue for such a correction. For the meantime, I have gone to cash in registered and non-registered accounts and bought inverse etfs like HQD (2X Nasdaq bear), HXD (2X SPX60), and HUV (volatility index) to continue making modest gains during the downturn (instead of losing money!). Are there any other defensive (inverse) etfs you could recommend?
Q: Hi, I would appreciate if you can suggest few names outside oil & gas or mining sector which are a buying opportunity today due to market sell off.
Thanks

Q: Can you please comment on the 25 percent drop of GSY in two weeks, being down every day. Your last answer was profit taking, just wondering if this is still the case or is there issues with the company. The chart does not look good. Would you hold or move on.
Q: Do you have a preference between MX or NTR, long and short term?
