Q: Would you have a recommendation to replace ZUH, which would have more growth, with the understanding that it would also be higher risk either a stock or an ETF?

Q: https://www.rbadvisors.com/insights/4-for-24-year-ahead-outlook/

RB advisers recommend the following 4 themes for 2024 and as a value investor I am looking for ETF recommendations:
(1) US small caps: I am using XSU (100% IWM)
(2) US cyclicals: I found IYC but P/E is 27! Recommendation?
(3) Non-US and emerging markets: I have been using XEF and ZEM. I like XEM (100% EEM) because it posts a P/E each day.
(4) Theme 4 is "Industrials: deglobalization spurs infrastructure". No idea what ETFs to use here.
Thanks for your recommendations/comments!!!

Q: Can you recommend a few ETFs that have good exposure to US industrials and materials? Preferably in a single security if there is one, but separately is fine as well. I'm indifferent as to whether it is a CDN ETF listed in Canada or USD ETF listed on a US exchange.

Q: Good morning. Which do you feel would be a better etf for industrials in a RRif or do you have another suggestion? I understand IYJ has a higher mer but better long term performance with more holdings. Have they both equal risk? Would something with more international flavour be better?

Q: I have a large capital gain on Boyd for the 2020 tax year which I am considering offsetting by taking Capital losses which I have on the above mentioned stocks, including BYD. What is the best way to do this? Sell and wait 30 days to re-buy? Sell now and buy proxies (what would they be?)? I’m also considering using stop losses to take advantage of any increase in stock prices I might otherwise miss. Would appreciate you comments and advice. Michael
