Wrapper for various covered call ETFs. Gives you more diversification across a number of sectors, while utilizing a covered call strategy for income on 1/3 to 1/2 of the portfolio. He likes that part of the portfolio can breathe to enjoy any upside. Except for tech, most of the other sectors covered are risk-averse.
He likes the currency hedges on both. Why choose? You could own both. If we resume the bull market, and resolve that a recession won't happen until 2026, you probably want to be in the NASDAQ as it has more beta. If we resolve to a harder recession and sooner, the S&P would probably go down less but both would be hit.
We need a little more information on which way the market's going to go. By watching and waiting, you're also going to pay a higher price. Perhaps take a little taster now, and see if there's market follow through. If it goes positive, buy more. If there's a further breakdown, cut bait with a smaller loss.

Combines Europe and Asia, without North America, in a cheap and cheerful ETF framework. In robust markets. Geographic diversification is finally working again, as S&P dominance is fading. Down only 1% YTD, compared to 12% in Canadian dollars for the S&P. A recession could be avoided and we get back to where we were, but this choice lets you be cautious.
We think LSPD remains a sell. We have some previous comments posted, but it has had enough 'chances' and was also unable to sell the company.

DOCS has erased earlier gains from its last earnings report, amid the market drawdown, but it continues to be on a long-term uptrend, and forward sales and earnings estimates are strong. Analyst estimates have been trending higher in the past year, margins have been expanding, and it generates decent cash flows. It has a good balance sheet, but it is not cheap at 38X forward earnings. For a long-term investor, we would be comfortable holding here given its fundamental strength.

Inflation hedge, but also a great degree of industrial and economic sensitivity. That's what we're seeing in the price in the last few days. When the gold:silver ratio spikes, which it is now, that's a recessionary indicator. Silver is harder right now.
If he's up right now, he's keeping it on a short leash. If he wants to expand his exposure, he wants to see follow through in the markets first. If we are heading into a full-blown recession, silver goes a lot lower.
