Investment Q&A

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

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor with a well diversified portfolio (in my opinion anyway). My proxy for the technology sector is XIT and it has performed very well over the long time period I have held it. I like using your charting ability to compare XIT to QQQ or other related tech companies or ETFs....great feature!


Question #1 = With all of the "AI" interest right now, I wonder how much exposure does XIT have to the AI theme? Which of the embedded companies within XIT have AI exposure?

Question # 2 = Is there is an ETF that focuses on AI-related companies or is there an ETF that focuses on AI-generated stock picks (in any sector) and what your thoughts are?

Thanks....Steve

Q: Hello,
Can you please suggest an AI ETF as well as an AI infrastructure ETF (picks and shovels play where it does not include msft, meta etc which would be part of the AI etf). Much appreciated.

Q: I want to put some money into an RESP for our newborn granddaughter. I will add some more stable growth stocks over time, but I want to start with 1 AI stock or ETF and 1 crypto stock or ETF, as the base.
These will be the buy and forget, holdings in the RESP
Can you recommend a couple US/CDN stocks and etfs in both categories, and your thoughts on whether US or Cdn currency is the better option. For a long-term hold like this, am I better to use stocks or ETFs, as the base?

Q: Not sure if you received this question before:
Pls recommend both hedged and unhedged ETF focused on US high tech and AI, which will generate about 10% yield including both dividends and capital appreciation in the first year. Thank you!

Q: Is there an ETF that has all these 7 companies pls?
Read Answer Asked by Ron on June 08, 2023
Q: Please give your assessment of this ETF - AIQ. It appears to hold stocks that have been driving the S&P500 higher this year so do you see any more upside? How much growth do you see for AI in the short and long term? For a growth theme would you put new money into this for 2-5 years? Thanks in advance and please deduct credits as you see fit.
