Q: Back in 2020, I started a position in ZUQ BMO US High Quality ETF. I still have a copy from your ETF & Mutual Fund Update from 2020/21 about your ETF Madness Contest. XAW was the winner and it narrowly beat ZUQ in the semi finals. In it you said, “Overall, we would be comfortable with ZUQ taking an average investor’s entire US equity portfolio.” ZUQ beat ZSP in 5 year returns according to BMO’s ETF Comparison Tool, ZUQ 17.7% average return vs ZSP 16.2% average return. I’m building my portfolio and soon will build up ZUQ to a 50% position. Do you still feel that this ETF would still make you comfortable at a 50% position in an average investor’s entire US portfolio?

Q: I bought Hershey in my RRSP in mid-2024. While mostly known for chocolate, the company has been diversifying into non-chocolatey snacks. However, the stock price remains down due to high cocoa prices. Would you be content to hold Hershey and collect the dividend until cocoa prices drop? Would you have some other suggestions? I tend to go for boring US dividend payers that also have some growth potential in my RRSP. My top holdings right now are MSFT, COST, MA, BIP.UN, ENB, and O. I also hold VOO as an underlying holding. Thank you.

Q: Hi Folks,
I hold CELH in my non registered account. Would now be a good time to sell to harvest a tax loss. Also, would you buy it back after the 30 days or would you move on to something else. If moving on, can you recommend 2 or 3 other small cap names for me to look at?
Thanks
