Q: Good Morning 5i,
I have held VEE for a number of years as part of my global exposure in my portfolio. I would like to replace it with another global ETF. Could you suggest 3 other ETF's that would provide more upside over the next 5 years. I also hold XWD so avoiding any overlap is a consideration.
Thanks for all you do for us each day.
Dan

Q: I have been noticing that more so than ever questions have been directed to you in regards to energy related stocks as opposed to tech, do you think that is a reflection of sentiment shifting towards value vs growth from the retail end?

Artificial intelligence
Cybersecurity
Cloud computing
Digital payments
Online advertising
Infrastructure rebuild

Asian consumer spending

Q: Hello 5i team

This fall I accumulated a basket of perpetual preferred shares composed of L.PR.B, BN.PR.N, SLF.PR.D, MFC.PR.C, FTS.PR.F (all recommended by 5i in 2023). The (TFSA) return on this basket is currently 8% (dividend not included).

(L.PR.B has the highest weighting = 40%)


Questions :

1- What should I expect in the coming months in the current rate and economic context, including the possibility of a recession?

2- Would you feel comfortable keeping this basket for the next 5 years?


Thanks to the whole team.

Q: Hi,

Thank you for answering Scott's question today (Jan 30, 2024) and choosing BIPC. His question didn't include all the components of BN behemoth. I know your favorite is BN for growth and BAM for dividends. Can you rank order others, especially BEPC/BIP? To one of earlier questions about energy stocks you chose BEPC. I understand the rationale there. If you were to ignore the energy sector where would BEPC stand?
Many thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team - I am familiar with the following terms/metrics but not completely sure of what they mean in context. Could you explain the difference between earnings, net earnings and profitability.. Also how does cash flow differ from free cash flow. Does a company with free cash flow mean that it's profitable. Along these lines what is a good way of measuring profitability.
Thank you.
