Q: First of all, thanks for Market Update of Monday, hope it settled some people.
I was reading a rather mind boggling history on ETF’s and one thing that stuck in my head was their findings that market cap ETF’s were a momentum play with buying the winners and selling the losers while a cap pegged ETF was more of a sell the winners and buy the losers approach. Never thought of it that way. Have I got this right ? Thanks. Derek

Q: Good afternoon 5i
A number of people have asked about the best small cap etf. You have sometimes mentioned ijt as a good one. But, lately you have been recommending ijr. In the answers 5i always mentions whether or not someone on staff holds the given stock or etf. I was curious as to wht you would say that ijr is your preferred but not own it and own ijt, though
Thanks
