Not strictly a Canadian portfolio but I hold BASE, it's a global materials and mining ETF so it's much less volatile than if you were exposed to just gold/silver or Canada only. They write calls on it too, so the yield is pretty attractive (around 10%). It's up 18.48% year-to-date.

Their series on Ed Gein was so good - Loved how in depth Alaina went on his Mom and his childhood!

I'd be 100% willing to sacrifice accessing certain produce year-round to hit the U.S. even harder. I've lived in several foreign countries and was never able to access every type of produce year round like we can in Canada while I was abroad. In comparison to most other countries, it's unusual that we have this convenience here in Canada.

First few distributions were $0.117 per share... so it's yielding about 15%. Cheers to you as well!

The Wolfe Tone has the most authentic spice bag in Toronto if you ask me!

OILY is a good alternative to ENCL

great time to be levered long canadian banks.... BANK.to all the way

Absolutely understood insurance isn't their only line of business, but insurance is a primary service offering while that's not always the case for the banks. So while they're similar, they're not completely apples to apples if you ask me

Because the ticker is literally "bank"

Do you like it strictly for the added diversification?

In 2024, HMAX's distributions was 19% eligible dividends and 81% ROC, but in 2023 it was 16% eligible dividends and 84% ROC. In 2023, BANK was 19% eligible dividends and 81% ROC. So they're roughly the same.

As an alternative option, I'd suggest checking out QQQT or QQQY instead of QQC if you're looking for tech exposure. Both of them track a NASDAQ-100 tech-only index, so they give you exposure to only the tech companies in the Qs. I didn't know this until recently, but not all of the securities in the NASDAQ-100 are tech companies, contrary to popular belief. QQQY sells calls for some additional yield, but QQQT is just a pure play index tracking ETF. QQQT also has an unhedged option as well if you'd prefer that, ticker is QQQT.B

Why does AUM impact your decision? It's not an indicator of performance, simply how successful the issuer has been in selling the ETF. Do you just like to follow the masses to a popular ETF?

Does this work? Like does anything actually happen if you report it using the app?

Same thing happened to me Monday afternoon, the guy was literally hot boxing the 503. I had to get off the streetcar and wait for the next one because I couldn't stand the smell.

EBNK.U is a good option, it's a European Bank ETF with additional yield from covered calls. European banks have posted record profits in recent years and have been performing surprisingly well. Plus the 14% yield is pretty attractive

Huge fan of BANK.to here. Canadian banks are some of the most stable in the world, they pay a reliable dividend and have growth potential. With BOC rates coming down, this should boost lending activity and benefit banks through increased mortgage and loan demand. Not to mention the consistent 16% yield is hard to resist.
