Q: Hi, could you please compare the relative attractiveness of the above 2 ETfs, understanding HDIF is new but the underlying ETFs are not. Is there much difference? I believe the underlying HDIF ETFs are all U.S. whereas some of the HDIV are Cdn which I believe would reduce USD FX exposure? Any advantage of one fund manager over the other (Harvest vs Hamilton)? Thank you.

Q: The general technical pattern of the US markets and other markets to a lesser degree appears to be aggressively trending down, with the recent positive earnings now in the rear view and corrected, unfortunately. I’m reading your language from past comments that the year is expected to be rough for tech but I think it is worth noting that the trend line underway for major indices and even successful companies appears to be headed down and possibly with much bigger drops ahead.
Could you please comment on where you see this from your perspective? Do you expect a sizeable drop ahead and do you advise any mitigation at this point either to rebalance or to sell any current holdings, such as small caps, tech, high debt or other potentially at-risk assets that may be staring down a large drop.
Almost nothing looks to be at a ‘bottom’. To echo a lot of headlines, it looks like there could be a slide ahead.

Q: I would like to get your thoughts on ADW.A today. I am down ~35% and there seems to be no investor confidence in this stock. It should be a reopening idea which should start performing as we are lifting restrictions. Would you add to a position or has the stock has become a falling knife.
Also, I have heard Peter suggest it is not when to buy a stock it is knowing when to sell. What criteria would you use to determine a sell?

Thank you
