Stock price when the opinion was issued
An ETF to buy? There are so many ETFs, so it depends what you're looking for. XIU offers growth and income for retirees. This is a core holding for any investors. There's also a BMO utilities ETF offering a yield and upside. Also, a Canadian bank ETF from any vendor will give you income and growth, like ZWB-T. An ETF reduces volatility vs. owning individual stocks.
Banks have down poorly this which has limited the TSX, though oil has gone up. You need the financials to do well for XIU to do well. But in the long run, this will outperform in coming years.
