BUY

XSP vs. ZUE Almost identical. Track the same index, structure is the same by holding the 500 stocks in the S&P 500 and applying the currency hedge so movements in the CAD don't impact the NAV as much. Long term, did a good job insulating from currency moves. XSP is 10 bps, ZUE is 9. Long term, US large caps should be the core of a lot of portfolios. Risky, as it was this year, but you should still have it.

E.T.F.'s

WEAK BUY

XSP vs. ZQQ He's underweight tech and communications and high-growth stocks. If you look at the NASDAQ 100, it's down 31% from last November highs. Still kind of expensive at 3.7x price to sales, a bit of a premium to 10-year average of 3.5x. Just because it's come down in price, doesn't necessarily make it cheap. He'd prefer the XSP, as it's more diversified, though it still has 34-35% in tech and communications. He's been noticing the equal weight index outperforming, but tech and communications are still not improving.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks The XSP pays a 1.12% dividend and also charges a super-low 0.10% MER. Tech is the biggest sector at 26.74% followed by health care at 14.83%. Overall, not bad, but the VSP slightly outperforms this and charges a tick less. Also, XSP is not hedged either. XSP is one to use as a comparable during research only.

E.T.F.'s

WAIT

Excellent ETF, but a bad time to get into it, unless you have a 20-year-year horizon. Instead, wait till 2023 to consider it. He sees storm clouds in the market coming. He is bearish the S&P short-term.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

XSP Has a 0.1% MER. Consider HXS for a little more tax efficiency and you can get it in U.S. dollars as well. You are getting classic exposure with the BMO S&P 500.

E.T.F.'s

PARTIAL BUY

Tracks the S&P and is hedged. She doesn't buy ETFs. But an ETF makes sense for some investors who lack the time and expertise. The wider risk is if the market keeps declining and enters a recession. She suggests buying a portion at a time and watching the market.

E.T.F.'s

PARTIAL BUY

E.T.F.'s

BUY

An ETF for a TFSA It tracks the S&P 500, hedged against a decline in the US dollar. It's a core position for him. Solid. Also, ZWB, a covered call on Canadian banks, yielding 5.5%, a surrogate for the Canadian economy.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

Caller was asking whether EQL could protect against downside in XSP. It depends what is drawing down the market. For example, if it is the Nasdaq and FAANGs, then EQL will protect you since it is underweight these big names. However, if the market is down, it will not help you.

E.T.F.'s

STRONG BUY

Hold it forever. He owns A LOT of this. Watch the currency exchange, because it's hedged. He owns hedged and unhedged. XSP protects against the decline in the USD, so that's why he loves this. Great performance.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

TFSA investment? XSP is based on the S&P500. He always has held this as a core holding in his portfolio.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

Looking for a dividend-growth ETF in a TFSA. Buy the US market with this one, though it pays little yield.

E.T.F.'s

BUY

Whether to own a US ETF that is CAD hedged or not For his clients, he owns both hedged and non-hedged. A small client who wants passive exposure with US cash, he'll open the US version. It depends on your view of the CAD. He wants full exposure to the USD. If you feel the CAD will weaken this year, them own the unhedged which is a solid, great way to get exposure to American stocks.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

XUU vs. XSP as the better play in the US market XSP is the S&P and CAD-hedged, while the XUU is the broad US market, including the small- and mid-caps without the CAD hedge. He prefers to play in USD, because the USD is a flight to safety when world markets struggle. You want to hold USD as a general rule.

E.T.F.'s

COMMENT

XUS-T Vs. XSP-T. They are S&P exposure, hedged and unhedged. It is a currency call. He thinks the Canadian $ will weaken into the next recession as it has in past recessions. $0.70 is within reach. The closer to 78 cents, you want that hedging. He will add back below that to his US exposure and it will be unhedged.
