Q: S&P 500 High Beta ETF (SPHB). What is your opinion of SPHB vs VOO? The fee is .25%, but it seems to perform better long and short term to make up the fee. Can you add SPHB to your database?

Q: Relative to diversifying my investment portfolio I am considering buying a lot and building a multi unit residential complex where I would rent 3 units and then live in the other. The cap rate for this investment is at 3.5% which is well below the preferred 7%-12% real estate industry baseline. This investment will require $2M in working capital which is about 55% of the funds I have for all investments. Given the dividend rate for a diversified allocation (BTSX) of dividend paying stocks, estimated to be 4%, would you consider this real estate investment to be a good option for an investor?

Q: 2021 was expected to be a good year for the agriculture industry. However it appears the heat wave in North America will reduce harvest. NTR comprises 4.5% of my growth portfolio. Would it be a good idea to reduce exposure in NTR?

Thanks for the service you provide.

Q: WTG has announced a "modified dutch auction" to buy back $1Billion worth of shares.
Is there anything to be learned from previous companies that did this? The trading activity is going to be skewed for the next few months. I believe the price will trade closer to $98 over the next few weeks.

I owned shares of HCG when they did a similar proposal and I recall regretting not selling to the market just before the offer closed because it traded above the cutoff price.

Thanks Dave
