Q: I see you have removed FSV from your recommended list - if one wanted growth and small dividend would you replace with BYD? Are they both play on the consumer across North America? Does one have a more reliable rev model?

Q: If I were to reduce my overweight positions in a few FANGMA stocks and instead use Evolve’s TECH.U ETF for more balanced long-term tech exposure, how would you assess the trade-off? Other than the MER, are there any concerns with TECH.U—such as index methodology, rebalance schedule, liquidity, tracking error, or concentration—that should factor into the decision?”

Q: Hi,
We own no crypto stocks. I feel that we should have some exposure in our portfolio. Now there has been a bit of a pull back… I cannot decide on what combination of stocks or ETF’s (cnd or US$) to buy in this sector for total portfolio weight of approximately 4-5%. What 3 combination of companies and/or ETF would you buy for a balanced exposure to the sector.
Thanks for all that you do!

Q: Further to my last question about Tether, the Financial Times is also reporting the following:

Crypto-hoarding companies are ditching their holdings in a bid to prop up their sinking share prices, as the craze for “digital asset treasury” businesses unravels in the face of a $1tn cryptocurrency rout.

Can you please provide some context around what’s going on in the crypto space lately and any thoughts about where it goes to from here?

Many thanks.

Michael

Q: What are your thoughts on the recent S&P Global Ratings downgrade on Tether? As reported in the Financial Times:

The rating agency warned that the company has “limited transparency on reserve management and risk appetite, lack of a robust regulatory framework [and] no asset segregation to protect against the issuer’s insolvency”.

Thank you.

Q: Critics are so frequent (and factors well explained) concerning covered call ETFs or covered call ETFs + leverage . My own experience is surprisingly positive since I keep about 10-20 % of those specialized ETFs( carefully selected though) in my portfolios , the results are excellent since, after 2-5 years , most of them show significant capital gain (often up to 50%) and no decreased NAV ..What strategy ( ETF vs stocks,or covered call ETF,ETF+leverage) do you suggest for a long term dividend investor ?
