Q: Can you recommend your favorite Cad Hedged Nasdaq ETF and also Cad Hedged S & P 500 ETF?
My reason for hedging is with Canadian Energy companies picking up, unless we have a housing correction, the Cad dollar should eventually rise.

thanks,

Q: Good morning,

All the emerging markets ETFs seem to be weighted roughly 50% to China and Taiwan. I would like to re-balance the EM weighting using Canadian-listed securities to one or two dynamic regions or countries (not sure, India or SE Asia maybe). Are there good ETFs for dynamic regions or countries that could balance things out a bit for a more globally weighted exposure? ZID caught my eye; 0.67% fee.

Would you do this or would you stick to the one-stop-shop EM ETFs like VEE/XSEM?

Canadian products only, please. I'm aware the US has greater selection. Many thanks for your help.

Q: Quick follow up to my CWW Q.

I see a response to another question on CWW immediately following mine. In the answer, you mention FIW as another Water focused ETF to consider and that it has had better performance over time. So should I sell CWW and buy FIW? If I bought FIW and kept my CWW, is there too much overlap?

Thanks again for your prompt responses.

Cheers.

Q: I'm looking to add a defensive element to my RRSP account and would appreciate a recommendation or two for an income generating consumer's staple ETF.
Also, if holding just one, would you suggest a CAD, US or global fund?
Thanks, Rick

Q: I have held CWW for some time, believing that water issues are becoming a more critical global issue and that the diversification of an ETF would be a better approach. I realize the market, including industrials, has been difficult this year but have been somewhat surprised at the extent of the drop in CWW's share price. I note that you had rated it only as "Good" in a question asked by another member recently. In your opinion, are there better ways to approach investing in the water theme ?
Thank you, as always.

Q: I heard to a podcast recently talking about natural gas being the key to reducing coal use. I'm curious if there any Canadian names that are primarily involved in natural gas with little involvement in crude oil? Pipeline or gas transportation companies?

Can you recommend an ETF to play natural gas in either the US or Canada?

Thanks!

Q: Good day team,

First things first, thanks for your steady advice during this downturn. A calming voice is very much appreciated.

My portfolio so far is adequately diversified. Believe it or not it is still up on the year. I have some play money which Im planning on using to make a bet against commodities, in particular copper and/or oil and gas. One idea comes to mind is buying puts against TECK. Any other suggestions? Either stocks or ETFs?

Q: I am thinking of investing in these three ETFs because I believe we are getting near the bottom of the market and all three of these ETFs have good growth prospects over the next 2 years. Would you agree with my thinking?

Thanks. David
