Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: According to my record keeping over the past year, these stocks were spoken of favorable by you in the Q & A section of your site:

COR, JPM, SIMO, SBUX, QCOM, NDAQ, EBIX, AMZN, ITRI, IWO, PI, NVDA, ARLZ (NASDAQ, NYSE)

Looking out to 2017 do you still feel favorably about these stocks?

If not which ones you cull?

Also, are there any US stocks you would add to this list, whose growth prospects you really like over the next year or two?

Thanks in advance.

Sheldon

Q: No question today. Just wanted to thank Peter, Ryan and the entire 5i staff the best of the season and all the best for 2017. The support you have given to me this past year has been invaluable, and I assure you, much appreciated! As a retired teacher, I think all public school students should be exposed to your service before they graduate from high school. Not sure how this could be achieved, just know it has huge potential to improve their lives. Just a thought.

Q: ZQQ-T (BMO Nasdaq 100 hedged) and XQQ-T (BMO Nasdaq 100 hedged) appears to contain the same tech companies in the same proportion. What difference do you see between the two ? What would be the equivalents on the U.S. market and is it better to buy this type of etf on the Cdian market (hedged) or directly on the U.S. Market ?
Thanks for your good attention,

Jacques

Q: I'm 56 years old with no fixed income and have been quite comfortable with this choice up until now. I recently have decided to have 5% in fixed income but have no knowledge on bonds. I have a balanced portfolio of stocks and try and hold 5% in cash to take advantage of good stocks in a down market. I was thinking of VAB and a 5 year GIC for fixed income. What are your thoughts and recommendations. Have a wonderful holiday to all at 5i and your families. Merry Christmas!

Q: You have one very greatfull customer here as I had to take over kuz my so-called advisor was buying very high commission products and losing money on top of that. Had to grab the bull by the horns and wasn’t to sure of what I was doing but reading your comments everyday helped to build confidence. With a 7 figure portfolio it was very intense.
I am moving slowly in 5i stocks mostly income generating.12.7% total return this year!!

Very happy holidays to the team and families!

Q: I wish all 5i staff and they families Season's Greetings' I hope 2017 sees our portfolios grow ever healthier.

I want to gradually add some preferred shares to my portfolio, partly in lieu of some fixed income. In looking at potential candidates, I am attracted to the above three ETFs, particularly ZPR with its laddered feature. Do you have any thoughts? Are all distributions of such ETFs taxed as dividends? Thanks, Bill
