Q: In my TFSA, I have a double position in BN, and full positions in POW, SIS, PPL, CSH.UN, TRI and BAM. I also have half positions in AFN (which I know is not your favourite) and DSG.

Q: So for those who aren't comfortable with an equity growth tilt or who may fear that after 3 strong years of performance 2026 may not provide the positive results many are forecasting, Innovator has in additioin to their buffer etf menu some dual directional etfs including DDSQ tracking the S & P for 3 months with a 5% inverse cap/buffer with a cap range of 3.1% - 3.85% and DDTJ a one year dual directional etf also starting to trade Jan 2 which has a 10% inverse cap/buffer and a cap range of 12.24% - 13.74%. Since I no longer believe in the tooth fairy I am hopeful you can look at these dual directional opportunities, break them down into simple understandable terms confirming what indeed they are designed to achieve for the investor over 3 and 12 months respectively both on the upside and downside and whether their goal is realistic. Finally would you recommend them in any way as worthy for investors seeking upside in an up tape though with a cap as well as providing positive returns in a down market and if both of those outcomes are achievable what are the caveats. Seasons greetings!!
