Q: while the price differs between these two offerings the difference does not represent the difference between US and CDN exchange rates and the trading volumes offer more flexibility for the TO based version. What is the reason, what is the basis for the two versions, and did you intend to prefer the .U edition.

Q: My sister has an RDSP with BMO. She has 75,000.00 in each the above funds. The lifestage money will mature in June and automatically go into a money market fund. The money will not be needed for years. She also has a trust fund. Do you have any suggestions for the 75k? Also, I believe the Cad and Usd equity funds are mutual funds. Should I move them to a lower cost ETF?

Q: If we were to enter a recession, what are the best short canditates you see, either in USA or Canada? Maybe a few specific companies, but more likely ETF's. Do you ever see a point in hedging?

Q: Dear 5i
The above noted ETFs are the ones i commonly use in my RRSP , TFSA and non registered accts .
CDZ and ZLB are used for CDN content and the rest for US content.
I believe there is probably some redundancy in these and was wondering which ETFs could be left out .
Which ETFs would you use for RRSPs , which for the TFSAs and which for the non-registered acct .?
Thanks

Q: Hello, would you continue holding ZEM , how long might returns suffer, are there better alternatives? Thanks
Q: I am currently down over $35K in SPY and would like to crystalize capital losses as I feel we are nearing the bottom. I understand that selling SPY and buying VOO would be deemed as an artificial loss by CRA, so I am wondering whether you can recommend another, less obvious replacement with high degree of correlation to SPY? Ideally, a USD-traded one. Thanks.
Q: Can I get your opinion on this mid cap growth ETF? Appears to hold some of your favourite U.S. growth stocks. Do you think it has the same level of upside as IWO? Thanks

Q: Hi there, ARKK has dropped very dramatically - about 75% to 80% from all time highs. I believe the 2000 .com bust had a similar fall in terms of percentages. In your opinion, has ARKK bottomed out here? Do you think it's time to finally start buying in the $40 to $45 price range? Lastly, do you see comparisons in buying ARKK today, similar to buying oil in March 2020 after oil went negative and XEG etc collapsed? Thanks!

- ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK)
Q: I am looking at 2 and 5 years charts for both funds and VGT was outperforming XQQ all the time in the last 2/5 years and didn't get cut as much. if you were to pick one now would you still go with VGT?
What is your view on ARKK now?

- BMO Equal Weight US Banks Hedged to CAD Index ETF (ZUB)
- BMO Equal Weight US Banks Index ETF (ZBK)
- SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE)
Q: In the past I owned ZUB or ZBK for exposure to the US Banks. I would like to go back to these ETF. But when I look at the top 10 holdings I see JPM and BAC, but not MS or GS . Are MS/GS not considered as banks for these Etf or are just a smaller percentage? Would you have another suggestion for this specific sector?
Would regional banking KRE be a better choice at the moment.
Or something like IYG, even if I would prefer a canadian Etf.
Thanks again.

Q: Is it too soon to start adding to this ETF or would you hold off for the next couple of months, expecting more downside. I am down about 16 percent at the moment..
Thanks, Lesley
