Q: Good morning,

My holding of XLF is down quite a bit and although I[m still positive on the US Financial sector in the long term, I'm thinking of selling XLF in my US Non registered account to harvest some capital losses for the 2022 tax year. I would appreciate your thoughts on the following two questions:

Q1. What are your thoughts on the US Financial sector for the next few years;

Q2. Would you kindly recommend a suitable proxy for my XLF holding that I could purchase on the US stock exchange.

Thank you and I'll await your sage advice.

Q: Good Evening 5i,

I am a retired income investor with very little knowledge of and exposure to bonds.

Looking for your thoughts/opinions and suggestions on aggregate bond funds.

These funds apparently give exposure to government and corporate bonds, and to bonds maturing in the short, medium and long term.

Is there something worthwhile here?

Thanks very much.

Q: Hi Peter, what do you think of this ETF based on technical analysis ? It is down in the 9 month since inception but by less than the overall market and the company Fairlead that runs is seems very competant. Are there other funds that follow similar approaches and if so which if any would you prefer ? Thank you.

Q: Is there a Canadian équivalent ETF ,or close to it,to this excellent sélection approach and choice of Cies like this US ETF?

Q: This fund was mentioned to me as alternative to bond etf , and i hold a position which is now down approx 8% but the dividends adjusted at 3.35 % have offset that somewhat.
I see previous questions on this etf resulted in your answers being negative due to no diversification and being a very small total dollars fund.
Should i take the loss and purchase something with better recovery potential such as a broader etf, or actual bank stocks as they provide reasonable valuation with better dividends?
Thanks!

Q: Further to your response to Tom on Dec. 5th, could you recommend several ETFs that would be quality choices to represent emerging markets, healthcare and tech that would result in less overall volatility than purchasing individual stocks? Thanks.

Q: What's your view and long term thoughts on playing the ARk funds on the cheaper Canadian side through these BMO's etfs?

Q: Can you give me the symbols of ETF's that matches the movement of the tsx 60 , SP 500 and the NASDAQ. With the lower mer or fees. Thanks .. Borrowing money to invest on the stock market was something that was getting very popular. With interest rates now at normal rates in my view I believe this will end. Our economist drop the key interest rate at the beginning of covid to reduce the risk of a recession. In 2022 these same people are raising the interest rates to prevent inflation. I believe they will not succeed. I wish I had a company that could right out checks and not needing any funds to pay them. Only or government can do this.The same people that are raising and lowering or interest rates. Imagine that. Thanks for the great service but with 122 credit questions I guess I'm not using your services to the max. You guys are great happy new year.

Q: Hi
