Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I'm new here so I'm hoping these two questions will be phrased properly and not too general. Please let me know if this is the case. Thank you in advance.
1) The performance of the US markets seems to be much better than TSX in the longer term. Should an average investor consider focusing mostly on US holdings instead of Canadian stocks?

2) I would like to get your opinion on HBGD in terms of potential returns, how risky is this ETF and what role could it play in an average investor's portfolio within a 7-8-year timeframe before when decumulation begins.

Note this is for an RRSP account.
Thank you in advance for any insight. Cheers.

Q: I’m looking for some niche type ETF’s that would have companies that supply electrical parts,/equipment suppliers for the electrical infrastructure build that many people are suggesting is coming. It would possibly hold companies like WIRE.
Also if there is an ETF that would contain companies that will benefit from the large data centres that AI companies will require to be built. This ETF would hold companies like FIX.
If there are none than maybe you could drop a few names under each category. HPS.A has been a great find. Thank you. Looking for others in the same field.
