Q: Good afternoon,

I am looking for exposure to the US market, in my RRSP. According to your previous answers on this type of inquiry, an ETF would be the easiest way to go, since it automatically brings both diversification and exposure.

My time horizon is minimum 10 years and don't mind a medium amount of volatility, as long as the returns are there in the end. My plan is to invest into the chosen ETF each year, so that my exposure to the US market is taken care of.

I have been looking more closely at VGG, VFV and VUN, mostly out of the reputation of Vanguard products. The dividend growth orientation of VGG sure is appealing, but I am not primarly looking for income. Aside from that they all seem pretty similar.

I would like to know your point of view on these ETFs I mentionned and if there are any others that you consider that would fit better in a long term plan.

Thank you very much!

Q: Hello 5i,
Could you please comment on the above mentioned companies from a strictly growth perspective. Possibly rank them also, although I am more interested in your view of each.
Thanks for all your help!!

Q: I currently own WFC but am thinking of trading it for either of V or BAC. Would you have a preference? Secondly, with earning season coming on, if one is thinking of doing some trading is it best to wait for all the dust to settle to make the trades you were going to make without regard to timing the quarterly report? Any trades I would do would be with a view to holding the stock long term.

Appreciate your insight.
