I have a follow-up to Simon's question about tax-loss selling of QQQ posted on March 4.
Would leveraged ETFs, such as QLD and TQQQ, also be considered the same as QQQ? While those two ETFs are based on the NASDAQ 100 index, they don't track it directly.
(Also, I do realize you don't endorse the purchase of leveraged ETFs.)
Q: I have no exposure to metals and have been looking at ZMT to fill this gap. Are there other ETF's (US or Canadian) that might be better than ZMT? Also, given the current geo-political situation, do you think metal etf's such as ZMT have much more runway?
For tax-loss selling purposes in a non-registered account, are QQQ and any other ETF that tracks the NASDAQ 100 index (eg. QQQM) considered different ETFs?
Q: How do you feel about ZWU today? Or would you prefer to own a pipeline company like ENB? Seems the number of anticipated rate increases has fallen in recent days given Russia's war on Ukraine. Looking for price stability and yield. Great service, thanks!
Q: Pipeline and utility stocks having increased in price recently. What would you think about buying one of the ZPAY etf's for the dividend replacement of the utility and pipeline stocks. And buying the pipeline and utility stocks on a pull back. And which ZPAY etf would you recommend?
Q: The news has been pretty relentless recently in its higher price implications for commodities. What is your current opinion of BCI for the intermediate term?
Q: For European blue chip exposure with attractive yield, CDN domiciled, for an income account, is ZWP the only/best option or are there alternative on the CDN exchange.
Looking for an etf with close to 1b in assets, with blue chip holdings, a minimum 3% yield to compliment a long term retirement income account
Q: Yesterday (Tuesday) I placed a bid to purchase KRBN at $41 that was filled at 3:47PM. Looking at the daily trading chart on any site shows that a big block trade went through right around then, but for the entire last 30 minutes of trading the price never seemed to stray outside of $42.25-$42.85. My order was for several even lots. I would just like to try and understand the trading that goes on behind what appears to be visible such that my buy could fill at a price of $41?
In addition, I am struggling with how to categorize this holding within my investment portfolio. As a “non-tangible” commodity would you consider it within the energy sector? Materials? US or International? Your thoughts?
Q: Is there a US dollar savings account equivalent to PSA where I can park US dollars in my investment account rather than converting back and forth?
Thanks
Peter
I have no materials in my portfolio although lots of oil. Can u recommend two US and two CDN ETFs OR companies that you think should do well without too much volatility?
