Q: I own only 1 ETF (XQQ @ 10% of my portfolio). I'm looking to move to owning 3-5 ETFs to cover the broad market and then pick away at a few individual stocks for some extra growth.

Which few ETFs would you recommend to hold for 'adequate' and 'broad' market coverage. Note that I'm looking to hold 40-60% of my portfolio in these ETFs.

Q: Hello,

VNP has pulled back from its high of $36. Results are expected on May 6th after the close. Given the solid fundamentals, the critical minerals theme, and the tailwinds from AI and defence, for an investor with a 3 to 5 year horizon, would you initiate a full position today ahead of results, or would you wait for post-earnings confirmation?

Thanks

Q: I understand that when you buy stocks, etfs of mutual funds whose distribution includes all or some ROC, this reduces your ACB and increases your future capital gains when you sell the asset. Does this become an onerous task, tracking each and every ROC payment across your portfolio and deducting it from your each ACB each time. Is there an easy way to do this? I assume the CRA must track this to ensure you are not avoiding taxes?

Q: Hi,
In reading a recent article on AMD's move into the NVDA market I read at: https://finance.yahoo.com/markets/stocks/articles/3x-amd-cracked-nvidia-code-133943897.html
I had to wonder about whether it would be prudent to sell some NVDA shares currently held in my TFSA to diversify into AMD, INTC and possibly MRVL. I've done extremely well on NVDA over the years and am starting to think about how much farther NVDA can run, vs some of the smaller semis at this point. I am also concerned with NVDA's price movements lately, as it finally broke out of consolidation, only to drop back today when others are climbing. Are there other names I should be considering as well? I use this account for shorter term momentum stocks, and keep a close eye on it. I would greatly appreciate your thoughts regarding NVDA and other semis - I also really enjoyed your Jan 5 Opinion piece on all things AI related and have been able to do well from a number of the stocks you highlighted - many thanks!
