Who else full ported calls $INTC couple weeks ago🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️📈
this comment would have been useful a couple of weeks ago than now lol

kinda like me saying I bought a bunch of Sandisk calls 6 months ago.

Going forward, I think GRID and PAVE etfs are gonna do well, and I bought into both a few weeks ago. Mostly due to re-electrification and energy demands on the US grid due to AI/data center demand. Besides that, I'm still heavily in gold/silver/copper miners - think they'll perform well over the next few months, hoping for a top in the summer.

They are ok.
XEQT is a hybrid etf made up of other ETF's.
Gives you some global exposure but overlaps with VFV. I personally wouldn't own it.
VFV is the SP500. This should be a core holding, maybe 35 to 50 percent of portfolio. Lots of global exposure as most of these companies do business globally.
VDY is a Canadian dividend etf. Personally I would just buy XIC which is basically the Canadian market. VDY is over 50% financial.
FDVV is a us high dividend etf that has tech and alot of financials. I wouldn't own it. You need a N100 etf for growth. ZQQ or XQQ are both hedged and I would probably choose XQQ.
You need growth in your portfolio. Note that there is some overlap with almost all US ETFs and any SP500 etf.

I just bought $50 of the XQQ etf.

What N100 etf for growth are you talking about ?

I'm still pretty new this, just started last summer.

it's back to where it originally was now.....unless you guys sold in the march high, basically 0% gain.
I was concerned about that also. Someone mentioned that the corporate governance was not that good too. Contrasted it with CNQ where directors must own some stock.
UPDATE : I just checked AI and Nutrien also has this policy. Maybe the concern was the amount required?

can’t share the sauce too much…

though I agree with natural resources & materials, buying the dip for $NTR, $PAAS, $TFPM, $ABX, as well as long on oil companies (despite the recent dips).

I faded SNDK when it was trading around 100s because I thought the chart was overextended but I failed to realize how big the memory supercycle was

Assuming you are fairly young and starting off what I would do is;
Put 1/3 of my money in XSP (SP500 etf hedged)
Put 1/3 in XQQ (N100 etf hedged)
Put 1/3 in XIC (TSX etf)
All of the above etf's have low fees and will track the indexes accurately.

And then sleep like a baby. No worries.

Thanks for the advice, I'm in my early 30's, I wished I learned about this in my 20's lol, highschool doesn't teach you financial literacy 🤣😅
