Q: I've been asked to help my 20 yo niece with her recently opened TFSA and hard-earned $21K contribution. Sticking with ETF's and CAD in these early days of her investing journey, I'm asking for your thoughts on best CDN ETF representations for SP500, Nasdaq 100, Dividend Growth (USA), Small Cap Growth (USA), TSX 60 and International developed large cap. I'm thinking a 70/20/10 allocation USA/CDA/INTL, would you find this appropriate? Thank you.
Q: Can you help me understand why one would hold a company like Amazon with a 10% return in the last 12 months and 40% increase in the last 5 years compared to an ETF like VOO with a 20% return in the last 12 months and 73% increase in the last 5 years?
Where I struggle is, why take on the added risk of holding an individual stock compared to a diversified ETF? Clearly it’s shown to out perform the individual stock.
I understand holding both are likely ideal, but can you provide a reason to not sell Amazon and add to VOO? Thank you

Q: I presently hold VOO .I am wondering if switching to a capped version of S&P 500 would be appropriate and if so could you suggest ETFs which would fill the bill
