Q: 5i
What is a covered call and what is the risk level in a covered call ETF in both a rising market and a falling market. Looking at ZWH and ZWU as my utilities segment is low as is my USA segment of my portfolio. Yield on both is good and I am looking more for income with a little growth.

Q: My wife and I have decided to move our investments from our current advisor to a more self directed option. We have looked at Tangerine and are intrigued but also heard about Wealthsimple. I can't seem to find much for reviews on Wealthsimple and what I've found sounds more like an ad rather than a review. What are your thoughts on Wealthsimple and further what are your thoughts on Tangerine? Is there something better out there than either of them? Thank you very much for your time.
Q: These two Bata Pro funds are they inverse to the S$P 500? So if my understanding is correct they should go up when the S&P 500 Goes down.

Q: Hello.
I need some advice on ETF, one Canadian and one US. I was thinking Spy for US but not sure for Canadian ETF. I own 27 equities 65% CDN & 35% US. I have two accounts that I would like each one to contain an ETF. I would then twice a year take all my dividends and repurchase shares in the same ETF. Seeing that the ETF holds many equities in different sectors to my way of thinking I would not have to think of asset allocation nor the size of my position.? Or should I? Right now all my positions are below 5%. Good Strategy?
Regards.

Q: I've never had any interest in ETFs until yesterday a friend told me the error of my ways. He gave me two names ZSP and ZWB that both have annual combined returns (yield & growth) exceeding 20%. It was a real eye opener for sure.
Do you know where can I find reports on line that rate the performance of most Canadian traded ETFs? As well, do you have other ETF names that are comparable in combined returns with ZWB and ZSP that you can recommend?
Thanks.
