Q: I know pharma stocks like LLY and NVO are hot (and expensive) now due to the success of their GLP-1 drugs but what about the other big pharma stocks like PFE and BMY that have been hammered post-covid and now yield up to 6%? PFE has bounced from $26 to about $28 today but is it too soon? Value traps? Dead money? What is your opinion of when to get in (if ever)? Thanks.

Q: Hi. After reading your ETF newsletter, I was considering this ETF as a good way to buy into many of the larger companies that are higher performers on the US market. I already have a full market ETF. What is your opinion?

Q: Good morning,

I currently hold VIG ETF in my Non Registered US$ account and VGG in my Non Registered Cdn$ account. Both of these ETFs have the same holdings but the VIG appears to be cheaper in terms of MER and perhaps more tax efficient if held in a RRSP.

Given that both VIG and VGG hold the same holdings and taxation not a consideration, I was thinking of selling the VGG ETF and purchasing some additional VIG ETF.

However, I just stumbled across another ETF (DGRW ETF) that I would appreciate your thoughts on as a potential replacement for VIG ETF. Although a bit more expensive in terms of MER, the annual performance over the last 10 years appears to be much better.


Thank you and I'll await your response.
