Q: Hi,
There were a few questions in January 2022 about both the US/Canadian banks. Your answers seem to be favour holding some banks b/c of rising interest rates and more recent earnings results.

What are your favorite bank ETFs in Canada and in the US? (US ETFs are a lot cheaper to buy and hold). Do you still feel optimistic about this sector?

This is for my RRSPs. So, withholding tax is not a factor.

Thanks in advance.

Q: I have reviewed materials on small to mid cap ETFs using such sites as ETF.com, ETFtrends.com and other. Question: in current market conditions, what US-listed ETFs, if any, would you buy today:
1. Small cap or mid cap ETFs? If you faor either or both , which ones do you suggest? (I dislike, or have doubts about, IWO which is in your model).
2. Would you prefer a mix of small and mid cap ETFs over (1) above? If yes, which ETF do you like that covers both small cap and mid cap? (US only)
3. *IF* you are in favor of small cap or mid cap (or a combo) at this time would you favor value over growth? In your answer kindly suggest what if any ETFs would be suitable. (US only).

Q: How strong is the Visa moat? Is it vulnerable to disruptors? Will big players like Amazon going their own way be a material hit overall? Is there still enough market share to gain from cash payments globally to continue the growth rate that supports the valuation?
