Q: Sorry, I should have clarified in my previous question, that I was looking for a Dow etf on the U.S. exchange as I want to purchase it in usd. Can you recommend one?

Since I currently only own IWO i thought the Dow would add a bit more stability and income than an s and p etf. Is this a good strategy?

Q: A long time ago, long before 5i, I bought MMP.UN as a way of owning some gold exposure for insurance. I have held it far too long. Looking at it now, I see it has a high MER, mostly junior golds, and a bit of a dividend, much less than when I bought it. Would I be better off to have XGD for this portion of my portfolio? ZJG probably has all the same juniors as MMP.UN
Thanks. Until I joined 5i I never used to look at details like this

Q: Re: the questions of max percentage small caps for a long-term investor that does not need the capital (answer: 30% max) - what do you consider a small cap? what do you consider mid caps? I am not sure but my understanding is that definitions range on that front. Would the 30% include mid caps too? Many thanks!
