Q: There was a question asked from Brian on HCAL on May 26. You mentioned HCAL was 1.25x leveraged and uses a covered call which would limit its upside potential. However, I do not believe HCAL uses a covered call strategy (if you can confirm this). If this is true, would your answer still be the same?

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: 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: 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.
