Q: There is a lot of rhetoric coming out of Ottawa about going all in to boost the canadian economy with major growth projects, reduce internal trade barriers, and mitigate tariff impact. If this in fact all comes to fruition, do you think this would positively affect canadian ETF values and would this be a good time to buy into those? VDY for example.

Q: Hello 5i
I am overweight Nvidia and plan to sell some. At my stage it is probably wise to put this in fixed income. I don’t know much about this, however, and have been made a bit gunshy by hearing of people losing money in what one would imagine to be a safe and secure bet. So, iaskif you could give me some possibilities for US dollar fixed income in a non-registered account. Something that could reduce taxes would be helpful, as well
Thanks for your great service

Q: The ETF symbol QDVO is only a few months old. It is run by the same 5-person team that manages DIVO. The team is headed by Kevin Simpson who also head-manages the ETF symbol DIVO . DIVO has done well for my portfolio (if one includes distributions) and this prompted me to look into QDVO.
DIVO leans more toward value and dividend stability, whereas QDVO brings a growth tilt to the same income-generating playbook. I was looking to blend upside potential with steady cash flow and wondered if QDVO might be a compelling enough complement to the already held DIVO. Both ETFs are for RSPs. I would welcome criticism, critical comments, thoughts, and insight. (Perhaps I am making too much of who runs ETFs?).

Q: what is the best nasdaq etf?
Q: I am planning to invest approximately $700,000 to $800,000 from the sale of a property and am interested in constructing a portfolio using only Canadian ETFs. My goal is to achieve diversification across different sectors. As a starting point, I am considering allocating $100,000 to the TD Canadian Equity Index ETF (TTP).
I would appreciate any opinions or advice on this approach. Thank you.

Q: Hi,
As VFV is based entirely on VOO, why do they have different growth? VOO is up 5% in the last 6 months, whereas VFV is flat over 6 months? I'd like to invest in VFV but not with 5% discrepancies?

Amplify Natural Resources Dividend Income ETF (NDIV $26.69)
Q: Is NDIV a reasonably good natural resources fund? Only 3 years old, has minimal AUM, and there is no Morningstar rating. Selects dividend paying natural resource companies globally. Could be attractive IF it’s managed by Kevin Simpson , who seems to be a great manager running covered call strategies. I cannot tell if NDIV follows such a strategy. Information on ETF data sites is scanty. Would appreciate very much your insight and comments including whether this ETF is a good diversifier. MER 0.59%.
