Q: Good morning,

Just trying to add a few ETF's to boost my yield and add to my diversification. I have a nice base of dividend growth stocks and what to offset them with a little bit of ETF's.

ZSP and SMAX....Is there a lot of overlap or can one own both?

Thanks
Jimmy

Q: I own a considerable amount of HYLD, but question the use of 25% leverage. I am considering switching to SMAX, but am wondering if they are so similar, that it is not worth switching.
Could you offer me your opinion on which one you would prefer for an income orientated senior investor.
