Q: Do you have a favorite gold bullion fund or etf that is either long one of the following currencies CDN, CHF, JPN, or the Singapore dollar?
Q: I have cash sitting in most of my accounts. I am retired and would like to put some of this cash to work for me. I don't even think my bank is providing interest on some of this cash. I have DRIPs in several bank stocks and telecommunication companies. Can you suggest some ETFs that might be useful here. I am interested primarily in ex-Canada and in seem of the other industries besides financial and telecommunications unless they are based outside of Canada. Thanks.
Q: From your suggested ETF list you provided for my Portfolio Analytics which ones would be best to incorporate in my RRIF and TFSA? Hope you have access to those ETF's. Thanks.
Q: Good morning, if i wanted to buy just one well diversified etf ex-Canada, but cdn dollar denomination fund, for about a five year hold, what would you recommend? Moderate risk.
Q: This is a relatively recent ETF that I took a position in a few weeks ago. Yield looks good, I just wonder about some of its holdings and the ETFs viability in these uncertain markets. I would appreciate your thoughts on the ETF and its holdings. Many thanks for your time and efforts on our behalfs. Mike
Q: Greetings Team,
I am headed into retirement and own both these funds in both my registered and non-registered accounts. Don't really have a need for capital appreciation - just steady income. What max % would you recommend on each of the funds. Overall which would you say has the highest risk profile of the two - MFT has the higher fixed income assets but given they use leverage to increase the return. just want to make sure i completely understand the risks in owning each.

iShares U.S. High Yield Bond Index ETF (CAD-Hedged) (XHY)
Q: Hello, my question is about CVD, CBO, CPD and XHY. I know you like these ETFs for income, and most of them are in the Income Portfolio. When one looks at their 5-year chart, one can see a downward trend for all of them. What will it take to change that to an upward trend? Would you invest in these ETFs today? Regarding XHY, the Fact Sheet says “Exposure to a broad range of U.S. high yield, non-investment grade corporate bonds, based on market-value weighting”, does the low quality of these bonds bother you? Thanks, Gervais

Q: Do you guys have any ideas for personal research on smaller cap (100 million- 500 mill) SAAS or software companies in the US? I feel as a Canadian we are so overexposed to the few tech and software companies that operate here that I need to look for better opportunities down south.
Q: Good morning,
I currently have fixed income as 30% of my portfolio, made up right now of ZAG and CPD (15% each). CPD is dripping and within a few more months of contributions ZAG will be too. Once they are both dripping, what would be the next Canadian-listed fixed income ETF you would add to compliment those two? Thanks in advance.

Q: Could you give some ideas, refer some websites and books regarding how to select an ETF. I need to give a presentation for learning purpose in a share club meeting. Feel free to subtract additional credits if needed.
Q: The performance of ZLB has strongly outperformed VCN over the short and long term. ZLB will likely survive a recession better then holding VCN. If I own both, should i just sell VCN and own ZLB but would their be a case to own VCN instead? thanks
Q: I was looking at your Growth Portfolio and see 14% allocation to ETF Russell 2000. Aside from US exposure what is your thesis behind this pick in particular?
Thanks again,
Dan

BMO Laddered Preferred Share Index ETF (ZPR)
Q: I'm having a hard time understanding the difference between these two etfs. The yield is much higher on zpr and since this is for the income side of my portflio I am wondering if I should purchase it over cpd.
