Q: I am down on QTIP but liking the ~ 7% yield. What is it going to take to move the needle on this one (I own it for income but hate seeing the price down with no line of sight to recovery). What will make this bounce back to the $100-$105 range ??

Q: Hello, I am thinking about selling my position in QQQ in favour of small cap etfs spread amongst value and growth. My feeling is that over the coming years they will have a better growth factor than the current large cap companies listed in QQQ. How do you feel about the ETFs described above, or perhaps some alternatives you favour ?

Global X Enhanced S&P/TSX 60 Covered Call ETF (CNCL)
Q: These covered call, leveraged ETFs seem to be very popular right now. Fees seem to be high in general on these funds, 2-2.5%. Horizon just introduced a suite of ETFs including the above 2 which I am interested in. They are funds of their own funds and usually products like this waive the management fee of the underlying fund. Do you know if this is the case for these 2?
I’m hoping Horizons large scale will allow them to keep their fees under control.

Hamilton Canadian Financials YIELD MAXIMIZER TM ETF (HMAX)

Hamilton Utilities YIELD MAXIMIZER TM ETF (UMAX)
Q: Just noticed that management fee of HDIV is 0.65, but MER is 2.39. Management fee for HMAX and UMAX is 0.65, but MERs are unstated presumably because it's early days. Do you expect that the MERs of HMAX and UMAX will be over 2%?
Q: Is this decent holding for the next 5 years as it is starting to move up? I have held it for 4.5 years and am down 16% but well up on non-taxable distribution. Thanks, James
