Q: Hi,

keeping in view the US Withholding tax on canadian investors.

If one has to hold US S&P 500, US mediam &small cap, US IT/technology ETF in canada.

Then which ETF would be be the best for a TFSA and cash account. ( I believe in a RRSP it does not matter ).

I currently hold SPY,VFV, IWO, VGT and QQQ in my TFSA and cash account. Do you think they are OK, or will you recommend some equivalent more efficient ETF's for exposure these sectors.

Keeping in view the difference between a TFSA and cash account, please suggest suitable ETF's for each, which would mirror SPY, VFV, VGT, IWO and QQQ.

Thanks
Harry

I am out of my depth here, however feel this an interesting sector, which may well result in higher demand for scarce metals required.
Thanks again for your great service!

Q: Peter and Co,
What am I missing with Nickel 28? Please correct an inaccuracy or misunderstanding in my comments below.
Nickle 28 appears to be on a solid positive trajectory as a nickel-cobalt mining business yet the stock appears irrationally cheap. Net and diluted income has turned positive in recent quarters with Q1'21 registering $3.96 million, $0.05/share. If annualized, this provides a PE of 5. Debt during the period from Q! ’20 to Q1’21 dropped from $108 million to 92.8 million and a payment of $10.1 million is imminent. When this debt is retired Nickel 28’s interest in Ramu, the producing mine, will increase from 8.56% to 11.3% , a 31% increase in equity, at no further cost to NKL. With the current nickel and cobalt demand, I, a shareholder, am considering adding to my position but I have begun to wonder about management, the operating partner,...
With appreciation for your insight and opinion,
Ed
