Q: I bought XMHQ thinking it would be prudent to add some quality midcaps and diversify . It has not worked and I have a largish loss which if realized would not be useable for tax. A year ago, I almost moved on but continued to hold the ETF thinking its time had surely come. I see that you had the same thought yourselves about a year ago. We were both wrong.
Before I expel XMHQ , please comment on the prospects for XMHQ going forward. Do you think this DOG will finally have its day? Is it good enough at least to keep up with the equal weight S&P 500 RSP? :sab:

Q: I am looking for a mid-cap ETF (listed in USA only) that:
-Has not more than 300 companies (the fewer the better).
-Constituents listed anywhere , although prefer constituents listed in developed markets) .
-Includes *ONLY* profitable companies
-Constituents chosen based on key factors such as: ROE, ROCI, FCF, good gross and net margins.

I have a small position in XMHQ but ETFdb.com is somewhat lukewarm towards it. Therefore, rather than add to XMHQ I wonder if you could recommend one or more suitable ETFs that meet most, if not all, the above-noted criteria. (I am fine adding to XMHQ if you believe it to better than other ETFs available in the US; however XMHQ does not quite meet above criteria. ao:sab

Q: Can you comment on the prospects for XMHQ?
