Q: Hello- a few months ago I took a full position in IWO and am currently about break even, I'm a bit concerned about the possibility of recession and wonder if there's a US ETF that would not suffer as much in a drooping economy in which the smallest companies get impacted earlier. I'm wondering about VO, for example. Thanks

Q: I need to increase my international exposure. My plan is to accomplish this through ETFs held in a non-registered account.
1) Can you please recommend two ETFs to achieve international exposure.
2) As a member of BMO Investorline I can access commission free ETFs and I am considering vanguard's VI ETF to increase international exposure. What are your thoughts on this ETF and how does it compare versus the ETFs recommended as part 1 of this question?
Thanks!

Harvest Microsoft Enhanced High Income Shares ETF (MSHE)
Q: Harvest recently launched 4 individual share etf’s which uses covered call and leverage.
The etf’s have only been out a few weeks but the leveraged versions seem to keep up with the individual stocks in terms of price appreciation.
How would you expect these etf’s to perform over the long term compared to the individual stock that it holds?
Would this be a way to get yield and price appreciation? Would you hold these etf’s instead of the underlying stock?

Q: Your thoughts.
Q: Of the two names in the utility sector can you reccommend 1? Looking for diversification in my portfolio post rate cuts. Tickers are PUI and IDU. Is 5% exposure appropriate?
Thank-you in advance.
Thank-you in advance.
Q: I asked something about BCAT a little while ago and I now have another question. It appears that the monthly distributions are issued as a return of capital; can you pls confirm if that is the case. And secondly, is a return of capital by a US entity still a return of capital for Canadian tax purposes, or does CRA treat it as interest? I know tax is not your forte, but any info you can provide would be great. Thanks for your excellent service.
Q: Peter; Would MAW108 and VFV overlap too much ? Thanks.

iShares U.S. High Yield Bond Index ETF (CAD-Hedged) (XHY)
Q: These are some of the bond ETFs you have previously suggested. You have recently noted that, while interest rates are dropping and long-term bonds should ultimately provide the most torque in this scenario, shorter-duration bonds should not be forgotten. Does this suggest that a 50/50 split between longer and shorter duration is best, or would you suggest some kind of uneven split for a retired-income investor looking for stability and reasonable growth? As a general strategy, would you also include some portion be allotted to convertible bonds?
Appreciate your insight.
Paul F.
