BOTZ vs. ROBO: The difference is that ROBO is an equal-weighted ETF and BOTZ is market-cap weighted. ROBO you get more mid- and small-cap, with maybe a better long-term return. But essentially both ETFs are very similar.

COMMENT

Why is a dividend ETF considered income and not a dividend? It's a function of an individual ETF, depending on the holdings within that ETF. You will see a mixed tax treatment. Held within a TFSA, you're good, but outside you will be taxed.

A Canadian ETF that buys the U.S. version, which is a slight advantage when it comes to paying fees. It's a good, cheap way to get exposure to U.S. stocks.

COMMENT

Better to buy a country or a sector? It's a tie. It depends on the country and the sector. Example: Canada which is dominated by natural resources and banks.
