Q: I've been burnt in the past by not trimming gains and having stocks crash and burn so I'm trying to diversify out of individual stocks when I get huge gains and let only a portion of it run. Can you recommend some ETFs to diversify into (CAD and USD), I'm 30s so long horizon and risk tolerance. I currently use XEQT, XSU, VIU, VFV for cad, VT, VTI for us. Let me know if there's any other good options, or if I should just stick to a specific one and why- take more credits if need

We think the list is fine. We might consider QQQ and XIT to be added into the mix. We also like VMO for momentum.
