Q: Many companies stand to benefit from the rise of nuclear energy. Is this a good time to invest (long term) in such companies? I am especially interested in the risk-reward profile of the following: Cameco(CCJ), Constellation Energy(CEG), Centrus Energy(LEU) and NexGen Energy(NEX). Are there others that you prefer (Canadian or U.S.)? Or do you believe an ETF focused on uranium/nuclear energy would be a better investment at this time? Thanks for your help. You provide a great service!

Q: Question about discrepancy in price action between these two SP500 index ETFs.

As of 10:50 AM, SPY is up 1.45% while VFV is up 1.23%, lagging SPY by 22 basis points.

What explains the discrepancy in price action between these two very liquid funds? For index funds such as these, is there a mechanism that exists to correct and adjust these funds to the actual price movement of their indexes? Especially when it comes to VFV.

Thank you for your excellent service.
