What do you forecast the near future, say 3-5 years, to be in US bond funds valuations?
Q: In view of multiple technology stocks decline would you be in favor of gradually add such ETF to a portfolio to achieve desired technology sector and US geographic diversification percentage in someone portfolio ?

Q: Would you consider this EFT as a equivalent or a proxy for a fixed income portion of one portfolio? In view of poor bonds performance in the fixed income asset class?
Q: My only consumer discretionary security is Aritzia (thank you) so I have been looking at VCR and XLY etfs. The top 10 holdings of XLY is 70% of the fund and top 10 holdings 56% of VCR. Do you have a preference? I don't have a problem with the large percentage of AMZN in either.
