Q: Looking to increase my American technology positions. I'm interested in taking a position in Adobe. What do you think the future holds for this company, short term, (1 year) and long term (5 years). I'm trying to decide between ADBE and MSFT. Which do you think is the best investment or would you buy both? Would they complement each other? Are there other U.S. tech. companies you like as well or better?

Q: Hi 5i,
Thank you for answering my question regarding BEP.UN.
I have to admit that I still do not fully understand the problem with holding BEP in a non-reg account. If I simply receive something from my broker (T3 or whatever the form is) telling me what amount I received from BEP the following year and I pass that on to the person doing my taxes what is the "pain" that you refer to with regards to limited partnership tax accounting? Is there some convoluted time-consuming calculation that the accountant must do? Or is there some other complication once the stock is sold? I am fine with some portion of the flow-through being withheld in regards to the US portion of the income from the stock.
Thanks for your patience!
Love your service!

- Shaw Communications Inc. Class B Non-voting Shares (SJR.B)
- T-Mobile US Inc. (TMUS)
- Defiance Next Gen Connectivity ETF (FIVG)
Q: I have some extra room in my existing telecom allocation and am looking at adding TMUS and dropping SJR.B. Or should I just add further to VZ or FIVG to continuing increasing my US exposure and currency diversification? I am retired but do not depend on the income from this portfolio which is intended to be widely diversified and focused on dividend growing solid companies.

Q: Goodmorning 5i,
You recently recommended shv for a reader seeking to place short term money. I have owned tlt and have found it a bit volatile for my safe money. Although, if this is not too contradictory, i plan to buy it back after the virus scare finishes. But, i was wondering whether in the US, whether you might suggest something between these two, that is, something with a higher return than shv but not as volatile as tlt?
Thanks

Q: We currently hold ZQQ at 8%, ZUH at 3.5% and VGG at 19% of equities. For diversification, we need to increase investment in technology and healthcare. We are considering the unhedged ZNU (unhedged technology) and ZHU (unhedged US healthcare). Please give us your opinion on these or possible alternatives.
Thanks.
Cyril

Q: Hi,
I would welcome your thoughts on this - the MER seems high, but then again, so is the dividend, both of which makes me wonder if there are better options out there? Or, is this a solid investment? Always value your insight!
