Q: Hi,
Is there an ETF that holds only a higher concentration of the FAANG stocks? I looked at the FNG but it does not seem to hold FB (could only find top 10 holdings). I’d like exposure to these growth names and maybe now good time to start a position with the declines in Netflix, and FB.
Thanks,
K.

Q: Hoping for some education on economics here. In an answer to Terrance about portfolio weightings, you were suggesting 20% be allocated to Industrials and 5% to Materials. I would have thought Materials would have been higher in this scenario on the assumption that a strong industrial sector would boost raw material costs.

Is the reason for the suggested minimal Materials allocation because of your oft-stated concern that Material producers tend to be price takers and not price makers or is there an underlying economic reason where material costs are shown to lag production increases?

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I've held this ETF for 2-1/2 years, its up about 40%. I purchased it initially as a US dollar holding not subject to US estate tax exposure. With Trump doubling the estate value amount before those taxes kick in, for now, thats no longer a concern. For future buys, is there a better US dollar ETF you'd recommend - lower MER and/or better growth, safety?
