Q: I am considering this ETF. What would be the principal drivers of performance for this ZCM? My understanding was that the return of corporate bonds more closely parallel equities compared to government bonds, but I see that in 2015, ZCM still managed to eke out a positive return despite the overall decline in Canadian equities. I also note that it has produced a positive return every year since inception. How closely correlated to stock returns do you expect ZCM to be? What is the likelihood of this product generating a negative return in any one calendar year, and what kind of scenario might have to play out in order for that to happen?

Q: Hi 5i, can you please advise me if TOROMONT INDUSTRIES (TIH) is a good company to own for the next 3-5 years? This company had appreciation over 100% in the last 5 years and had an approximate gain of 25% in the last 12 months. With the price being around 9% below its most recent high, would you think that it would be a good time for an initial purchase? or can you suggest another company you would recommend in this sector, Thank you for all your help!

Q: I am getting nervous about commercial real estate in the US. I think we are in the early stages of a sea change in that malls are struggling/closing due to the shift to online retail. Stocks like AMZN and SHOP are rocketing because of this shift. One of the stocks I have owned for a while is BAM.A. Although it has infrastructure and renewable arms the bulk of its revenue is from real estate. Because they own General Growth they have a large number of malls in the US. My question: should I be shifting my BAM.A money into BEP or BIP or BBU to get around this secular shift that will presumably start affecting the company going forwards?
