Q: Hello, this is a CDN-listed ETF, is there any tax issues (WHT) having it in a TFSA? It gives large-cap exposure to the US market, and non-hedged. Can ZSP be considered solid enough to be a core holding in a person's ETF basket?

Q: I already have QBTC. I have read that a canadian Bitcoin etf BTCC is starting feb 18th.
Which is the better way to invest in bitcoin?
This is what the globe said about BTCC.
BTCC has a 1-per-cent management fee and will invest in the physical form of bitcoin rather than futures that would allow investors to speculate on the price at a later date. The fund will track the TradeBlock XBX Index, which uses an algorithm to calculate the consolidated price of bitcoin every second.

Q: A while back I bought a small amount of the PSCH small cap health care fund on your suggestion and it is doing very nicely. I see from watching the comments on WELL, that you also like it. If I have a small amount of cash to deploy (less than a full position), should put it into it WELL or would you advise me to continue to build up the ETF position?
Q: Hello,
The share price of ZAG has been declining for the past six months. The Bank of Canada interest rate is stable and inflation is low. Is there something else that could explain this?

Q: Hi 5i team,
My understanding of momentum investing is to invest in stocks whose price is in a rising pattern in the recent past and to sell stocks that have a downward trend in price in the same period. So if the market switches from ‘growth’ to ‘value’ focused, would the momentum approach be a good choice to capture this change automatically when growth stocks fall and value stocks rise? Can you please expand and comment on the use of momentum investing strategy by ETFs? Please provide comments and thoughts on using this momentum strategy ZXM for asset allocation to Int’l developed markets. Many thanks.
