The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE)

Q: Is this iShares 25+ Year Treasury STRIP Bond ETF
buyable now or is it better to wait for interest rates to rise further?

I would appreciate your overall opinion on GOVZ. Thank you

Q: Hello 5i
I recently asked a question about covered call etf’s and you mentioned ZWU as a good choice. I have recently read about Harvest covered calls being a good choice because they have a more concentrated portfolio. I would appreciate your opinion on the comparison of the two

Vanguard Canadian Short-Term Bond Index ETF (VSB)
Q: What short term bond etf would you recommend?
Q: Just reading the ETF/mutual fund newsletter, and the changes to the growth portfolio. I am wondering where I can find longer term returns for the 3 ETF portfolios? Only the 3 month and YTD returns are displayed in the charts, whereas most investors would need longer term info before taking the plunge.

JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI)
Q: Hello, I'm recently retired. I am seeking income generating vehicles for my various, registered plans (RRSP, LIRA, TFSA) to invest in. I'm considering an investment in ZWU. I'm wondering if there might be a similar, utilities based, covered call, ETF available for the American market?
Lastly, if any of these ETFs might also be available without the covered call overlay and if you believe that those versions of the ETFs might provide better, mid-term probability of a greater Total Return; I'd be interested in your opinion, as well.
Thank you!

Q: Further to recent discussions on momentum ETF's, can you please provide your opinion on Vanguard US momentum:VFMO. I'm reading the key to success depends on being nimble, recognizing changing market/economic conditions and reacting sooner than later. VFMO apparently reviews 1/12 of its investments each month vs others reviewing quarterly or biannualy.
Thanks Peter.
Thanks Peter.

Q: I asked in a previous question if you favoured SPY or VIG, you sided with SPY. So brings me to SPY vs QQQ. Bat the average with SPY or gamble on the more tech heavy QQQ rebounding stronger and looking like a good buying opportunity. I am slightly underweight tech so would beef up my tech holdings as well
