Q: This one year new ETF holds around 100 US small caps and tries to select the most profitable in the field thus ideally removing what many experts lament as the main issue with holding broadly the Russell 2000 namely the large number of high debt unprofitable companies therein. Would appreciate your view on the strategy, the managers, and the holdings of this ETF and of course any other comment. Thank you.

Q: I recently purchased a small amount of SMCI when it dropped a few weeks ago. It seems the stock isn’t very popular right now. I’m wondering if I should hold onto it or sell it. Is it a good investment? My small investment in SMCI is starting to show some gains. I’m thinking about investing more if the long-term outlook is promising. I’d appreciate your thoughts. Thanks in advance!
