Vanguard S&P 500 Index ETF (VFV)
Q: Hi All at 5i!! A young friend is starting to invest in his TFSA. He has a long time horizon. Basically, he wants to just put the money into the TFSA and let it grow until retirement in an uncomplicated manner. (IOW no individual stocks). If you were to suggest an ETF, would VFV fit the bill, or would he be better off investing in a more structured ETF which encompasses several markets (US,Canadian etc) and a small bond holding as well?. What would you suggest?
Cheers,
Tamara

Q: Just read an article in the Globe and Mail, and other articles in The Economist:
"Investors have bet heavily on the U.S. economy. That’s not a great idea", by Ian McGugan
Given the concerns about the US these days (huge and increasing debt, failure of rule of law, outsized weighting in the world stock market, unhappy bond market, declining USD), should one reduce the exposure to US Indexes in a passive indexing portfolio with a long term horizon (5-10 years)?
If so, where would be a better place right now to put this money? Europe? Gold? Cash? Other?
Thanks in advance for your opinion.

Q: Greetings 5i,
I'm looking to decrease some of my US investments and want to sell XUS (I also own VFV). I'm looking at either VIU or XEF as a replacement for XUS. Does this make sense and if so do you have a preference for either of these ETFs or would you recommend something else as a replacement?
Thank you.
John.
