Q: I am an income investor looking for stability with some growth and want to invest in pipelines. I would prefer an ETF like PPLN but the cost is too high with an MER of 0.74 and TER 0.11. If you could only invest in 3 of the above 5 companies, which would you choose? Can you rank the above 5 pipeline companies, from highest growth potential to lowest, over the next 3 years.
Thanks!

Q: As a follow up to my previous question, in which you suggested the following ETFs: VIU, XIU and ZSP as a way to save 10% of my income for retirement, do you prefer XIU over XIC for retirement investments over a 20 year span. If so, why? Thank you again for your great service.

Q: Hi Peter et al,

You folks are very knowledgeable about Long Short Options and other hedging techniques. With that in mind, may I ask for your opinion about Simplify ETFs for income. I was impressed by Michael Greene's interview on Danny Moses' podcast.
(On the tape with Danny Moses).

Looked at his website and he seems to offer a lot of income generating ETFs based on solid instruments. (Bonds, Treasuries and Solid stocks). HIGH, BUCK, CRDT, AGGH etc.,

The MER seems reasonable. But only available in USD.

Worth dipping in? Which one would you as their best offering?

If you think there are better alternatives here in Canada or even in the US, please feel free to share your suggestions.

Many thanks.
