Q: I have held this healthcare ETF for a couple years, and added some more in the market mayhem last year. It pays a healthy dividend and I have some capital gains. Relative to the fund's market cap my shares are of course insignificant, however, it seems to be a light trader and I have noticed that on several days my holdings exceed the daily trading volume. Should I be concerned about this? Would it make any sense to sell part or all and move the funds into a similar ETF like HHL (or any others you might suggest)?
Thank-you

Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD)
Q: Although I currently hold VYM and VIG in my RRSP, SCHD has been on my radar for a few years and would appreciate your thoughts on adding this particular US$ ETF in my US$ Non Registered account. More specifically,
Q1. Would the withholding tax be eligible for the foreign tax credit when filing my tax return,
Q2. Would the US dividends be taxed as income, and
Q3. Of the three ETFs mentioned above, which one would you recommend for a US$ Non Registered account and your reason for the recommendation.
As usual, your sage advice is much appreciated.

Q: I've been watching TOI for a while. Would you agree that this seems like a good time to enter for a 5ish year hold? A full position for me is 5%. What would you suggest for weight? Thanks!
Q: I have been recently trying to learn about stock options especially calls and not puts for starters. And I've been looking at theoretical call options values to see if expected growth of the underlying stock is an input. It seems that the input is "volatility" which surprises me because volatility is both up and down. I get that volatility has a link to growth but why wouldn't a call option theoretical value focus on just the upside volatility which seems much more linked to growth. After all, a theoretical stock value includes an assumption about growth not volatility, so why not so for a call option value? Thanks.
