Q: Are there any broad US market ETF's that I can buy in Canadian dollars that will be neutral to whether the Canadian dollar goes up or down vs the US. I am worried that if I convert too much money to USD at the current rate, it might backfire on me if our dollar somehow rallies, (which seems unlikely right now, but who knows)

Q: I'm building US content into my portfolio, and am looking for medium risk ETFs. Do you have an estimated target and a recommendation for these two ETFs? I'd like both NASDAQ and S&P 500 exposures. Is the content of ZUE and XQQ content too overlapping for the two exposures?

Pls recommend both hedged and unhedged ETF focused on US high tech and AI, which will generate about 10% yield including both dividends and capital appreciation in the first year. Thank you!

Q: Good afternoon, Please recommend your 3 favourite international equity ETFs (without US holdings) and your 3 favourite US market ETFs. I already own QQQ which represents approx. 10% of my RRSP (in US dollars). Further, what are your thoughts on investing in the US market in US dollars (converted using Norbert Gambit) vs. Cnd. dollars? Is there an approach which has generated better results? Thank you.

Q: There are a number of Canadian based NASDAQ100 and S&P500 ETF's. Which NASDAQ100 and S&P500 ETF would you prefer, or would be "best", for a TFSA account, and why? Would investing within an RRSP or in a non-registered account alter your selections and if so, why would that be? Thanks.
