Investment Q&A

Q: what do you think of this etf?

Q: Covered call ETFs are gaining popularity. Does the technique have risk that isn't being talked about (yet)? It seems too good to be true. You can buy ZWA which owns 30 awesome mega-caps and has a 5.2% yield. Or, you can buy ZRE which contains companies that max their payout to get you that same yield of 5.2%. The first, ZWA, is not exposed to rising interest rates, or, to the housing mania. In that sense, ZWA seems to be a clear winner for income. But something tells me that as more firms make similar ETFs, something will happen. Won't the increase in put/call writing become crowded and a problem? Maybe fees will increase? Have you come across some writing on the subject? I'd like to investigate before putting 3 years of savings on ZWA. Thanks team.

Q: I own HEWJ and ZDM as my International exposure (5% of my portolio). Neither are doing well, especially after the Brexit vote and I'd like to replace them with ETFs with a more positive outlook for the next 2-3 years. Your thoughts and recommendations please!

Q: Could you suggest a Canadian dollar hedged US high dividend, covered call ETF or combination of ETFs to replace ZWH. Thanks.

Q: Can you please recomend a good DOw etf?

Q: Given today's market and the expectation of a US rate hike, could you identify 5 ETF's that you would be comfortable with to provide safety of principal and income. Thanks.
