Q: Other than the price, what is the difference between these two ETF’s? What would a complimentary ETF which does not sell covered calls be?
Q: NXF is a covered call EFT. Do you have a recommendation for an energy sector ETF that does not sell covered calls? Within my RRSP, I would like to own two ETF’s, the energy sector, to hold my energy related investments. Is there a rule of thumb to guide the percentage one should put into each (ie: 25% in a covered call ETF; 75% in an ETF which does not sell covered calls)?
Thanks for your help.

The last question on the ETF DATA was last August. Please share your updated opinion of this ETF, and I hate to admit it, but the proceeds of the sale of some CSU will be used to purchase DATA, unless you have misgivings about DATA in general.
As always, thanks for your insight.

Hamilton U.S. T-Bill YIELD MAXIMIZER TM ETF (HBIL $14.69)
Q: I asked about these 3 ETF's in May of 2025. As I noted, I purchased these with a view to moving away from equities. I am retired and interested in dividend income. Has much changed since your answer in May 25 ? Would you continue to hold through 2026 and just take the healthy dividends ? Or is more capital depreciation likely in 2026? If you could only keep 2, which would they be?
