Q: What is your opinion on the Chinese ETF CQQQ.It seems to be taking a slight hit recently. Bob Thanks for your service,your info is very helpful.
Q: Is there a Canadian ETF that would track companies in China, such as Tencent, Alibaba, JD.Com, etc?
Q: Grateful for your views on TXF. The dividend looks very interesting. How does it compare to fdn-n (First Trust DJ internet) ? Would you recommend it for an aggressive investor ? Finally, why is it not rated by Morningstar altough it exists since 2011 ?
Have a good day

Q: Good morning. I'm wondering if there is a canadian etf(s) that would provide exposure to the US tech sector which could contain companies such as Microsoft, Apple etc. This would be for a non-registered account or TFSA.
Thx.

Q: Hi
I am an ETF rookie.
Please help me understand the tax side of the ETF world . For example, in a non- registered account, would the tax friendly " dividend gross up" apply to the dividends received from
ISHARES CANADIAN SELECT DIVIDEND INDEX FUND (Toronto symbol XDV)?
Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: It appears to me that you favor diversification outside of Canada and the U.S., even though your primary recommendations cover the Canadian market. What would be your top recommendations for the emerging markets, India, China, Japan, Europe, etc ?
Q: Although I know it is not your area of focus, I am wondering whether there are a handful of European stocks that stand out to you as possible value picks at this point in time. This would be an additional or alternative strategy to investing in a broader ETF. Any insight you can provide would be much appreciated.

iShares Core MSCI US Quality Dividend Index ETF (XDU)
Q: I own ZWH at present in a registered account. Is there any advantage to adding XDU (hedged or unhedged) for diversification? I am also looking at ZWU as a possible addition. Thank you.
Q: What ETF or method would you recommend for an investor who wants to hold some gold (bullion, not the miners), unhedged to the Canadian dollar and with good liquidity. I have heard so many gold bugs talk about the importance of investing in “physical” gold as opposed to “paper” gold. Do you believe this thesis of “physical” gold and does GLD (US) meet this requirement?
Q: Good Morning

Thanks Guys

Q: Hi,
Just a thought for an ETF for Raymond (Nov. 23/17), who asked about a canadian option for FANG stocks, TXF(First Asset Tech Giants) has treated me very well, so it may be of interest to him.
Cheers, Chris
