BUY

In CAD and USD, and charges an MER of 0.28%. Own this in a non-registered account. Holds the big tech names like Amazon, Apple and Tesla. HXQ has done well this year, but a caveat is that only Microsoft has outperformed the market since 2000.

PARTIAL BUY

Hold the big Canadian banks, Enbridge, BCE and Manulife. But the option premiums on these stocks is small.  So, you're selling some of the upside potential, but not getting downside potential. But this pays you high-paying dividend stocks at a 0.72% MER.

BUY

It offers exposure to the world, including emerging markets. Good. Long-term, stocks pay good returns, but expect some volatility.

TOP PICK

This asset class has been down for 5 years during a long period of investor apathy. But when an asset class has been down for longer than 3 years, you start to consider it. HMMJ has US exposure where there is growing public support for legalizing canopy. Maybe start with a small position. This is a volatile sector.

TOP PICK

Picks the non-hedged US version of this. The USD tends to outperform the CAD. The global healthcare sector is resilient and stable in market weakness. This holds the 20 biggest global healthcare, equally-weighted and writes covered calls to a third of them. This explains the nice yield.

TOP PICK

Offers exposure to AI with about 20% in Meta and 20% in Alphabet. Both are coming out with AI products and services. This also holds communications like Disney, but not the semis.
