Q: There is a ( very) new ETF, coming out from Horizon with ticker QQCL being a covered call Nasdaq 100 with anticipated yield of 14.10 %.
This seems to be attractive for my TFSA for higher growth (with volatility which I can handle), along with a high yield.

I have bought several of these products, HTA, HHL, UMAX for both my registered and non registered accounts. They seem “ too good to be true “ and am wondering if that’s true. I have seen many of these enhanced products ( remember flow through shares ?) and hope these do not repeat.
Your thoughts on QQCL and on these ETF’s in general would be appreciated.
Thanks. Derek

Q: Apparently BMO, CIBC and TD currently have negative amortization mortgages approaching 20%. Do you have comparatives for BNS and RY ? Apparently there is one Canadian bank that is very conservative at less than 6%.

Q: I am close to retiring and have all registered accounts maxed out, but have $200K of non-registered funds to invest, and wondering what recommendation would be. I am leaning for simplicity to spread across a few ETFs to get some balance of growth and dividends. Thoughts/recommendations.

Q: With U.S. Treasury yields on the rise, is this a good time to buy this U.S Treasury focused ETF? Also, looking forward, and assuming a higher for longer scenario for interest rates, that are at a peak now, and will stay there for a couple of years, what would your outlook be for this ETF? Is the yield sustainable at a targeted 10%, or might it rise in the short term? Thanks. Will

Q: Hello, can you tell me how close the NEO listed CDRs are tracking the US listed companies? Also, is there a no fee site where I can compare the performance of the CDRs against their US equivalents? I don’t see tHis functionality on 5i and it would be nice to have. Thanks.

Q: Could you please provide a brief analysis comparing the TSX and S&P valuations now to previous periods when interest rates were at a similar level. I suspect it isn’t as easy as a direct comparison since the weight and make-up of the sectors along with any number of other variables will have changed, but looking for an opinion or best guess based on history as to whether valuations have much further to fall if the assumption is for 5”ish” percent interest rates for a longer period. Thank you.
