Q: Hello Peter and co.,

I have a follow-up to Simon's question about tax-loss selling of QQQ posted on March 4.

Would leveraged ETFs, such as QLD and TQQQ, also be considered the same as QQQ? While those two ETFs are based on the NASDAQ 100 index, they don't track it directly.

(Also, I do realize you don't endorse the purchase of leveraged ETFs.)

Thank you for your helpful advice!

Q: If you were to sell any of the above, list in order your top 5 or 6. Or would you keep the portfolio as is for next 3 years.

Q: Hello 5i Team,

A similar question has likely been asked before.

For tax-loss selling purposes in a non-registered account, are QQQ and any other ETF that tracks the NASDAQ 100 index (eg. QQQM) considered different ETFs?

Thanks!

Q: How do you feel about ZWU today? Or would you prefer to own a pipeline company like ENB? Seems the number of anticipated rate increases has fallen in recent days given Russia's war on Ukraine. Looking for price stability and yield. Great service, thanks!

Q: Yesterday (Tuesday) I placed a bid to purchase KRBN at $41 that was filled at 3:47PM. Looking at the daily trading chart on any site shows that a big block trade went through right around then, but for the entire last 30 minutes of trading the price never seemed to stray outside of $42.25-$42.85. My order was for several even lots. I would just like to try and understand the trading that goes on behind what appears to be visible such that my buy could fill at a price of $41?

In addition, I am struggling with how to categorize this holding within my investment portfolio. As a “non-tangible” commodity would you consider it within the energy sector? Materials? US or International? Your thoughts?
