Q: I am having trouble deciding between market weighted versus equal-weighted ETF's.

Is it true that equal weighted portfolios often have a higher Sharpe ratio (better risk-adjusted return) but exhibit higher volatility (roughly 10% more) than market-cap weighted ones?

Q: CN Rail stock seems to have benefitted from the HALO theme as well as business prospects turning for better, after lagging the market for almost 18 months. The shares have gone up 15%, within a short span of 4-5 weeks.

Does it make sense to initiate a New position at current levels $150-$152 ( 52 wk high) or wait for some pullback/consolidation ?

Thank You
