Q: I came across YNVD (Not listed on your site) when searching for the Canadian hedged NVDA. It appears to be a fund that holds only NVDA, is both hedged and covered call, and has an absurdly high yield. Would you advise buying some, and if so, would you put it in a registered account/tfsa for tax purposes?

Q: I have been doing monthly periodic purchases of VGG since January 2025. I clearly picked wrong (as usual) and should have gone with VHG (hedged version). I continue with monthly periodic purchases (even though my investor fear says not too), but should I switch and start purchasing VGH instead ? Am I cancelling out any future returns by doing so ?

Q: Oops sorry about that. The correct symbol is ECAT . And the question is as follows ......

" Saw a question on ECAT the other day. Just trying to figure out exactly what it is and what type of market will affect it's price ..... I realize it is made up of both security and debt but don't really understand the structure of the product { but that juicy 22.28% yield is attractive } Could 5i explain the structure in detail and what market conditions will affect the price both up and down ? And assign a risk factor with one being a UMAX and ten being a YTSL ? .... Thanks for your terrific service "

Q: Hi 5i, I am thinking of buying this ETF but I don’t mind buying six companies in the materials sector to get diversification and possibly a better dividend. Can you name 6 material companies that act like proxy with dividends in mind that are ex Canada.

Q: Non-resident tax, I'm considering to reduce my percentage of U.S. contents gradually, since nobody knows what to expect from donald...
Hopefully, this eventual new tariff policy wouldn't affect RSSP .
As you notice, some of the ETF posted are all U.S, companies in the case of XHY and NHYB, they both are mainly Bonds or gvt.Bonds,how tariff could affect the two.?

Thanks again to the team

Dan

Q: If you buy a limited partnership in a pipeline in the US at tax time you will get forms saying you may have to file a US tax return. This happened to me once and I don't want it to happen again. I was looking to purchase "weat' as there is a real drought setting up in the central plains but am worried that a product like this might trigger another US tax reporting problem. Right or wrong ?
