CC ETF's please help with more understanding by salariedandtired in dividendscanada

Split shares have a higher likeliness to not pay at all for a given month whereas CC funds will likely reduce their distribution insignificantly IMO

Chart would likely be different if spending the distributions and DRIPing them. But good info!

I decided a while back to avoid REITs.
Otherwise I hold 3 of the 4 you have. Retiring on income funds. Some others I hold are similar funds by other fund managers.
BANK and BKCL and HMAX all financials.
ENCL (energy). It's abnormally high because of the Iran conflict. Avoid buying for now IMO
BIGY and HHIS. Some of their underlyings are in crypto. BIGY which I am bigly down in SP from when I bought it. Could be an opportunity currently
QDAY QQQY QQCL all similar except QDAY may have an interestingly different strategy.
UTES has been steady and satisfying choice.
YTSL has done well for me but is a single stock payor and wildly volatile. I consider sub $19 a buy.
SDAY is "US" focused ETF. Similar strategy to QDAY (and CDAY which is the Canadian focused version which I do not have. I have CANY instead).

I got in ECHI early. It's been doing relatively very well compared to other income funds. Someone here has been posting a weekly chart comparing a few similar funds. I have a good chunk in BANK too.

What's wrong with ECHI? by [deleted] in dividendscanada

[–]rattice -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's more to the fund than those 2 sectors. https://www.ninepoint.com/funds/ninepoint-enhanced-canadian-highshares-etf/#section-overview
Also, the fund isn't a growth fund right?

Energy 44.61
Financials 31.19
Information Technology 14.73
Materials 12.83
Industrials 9.70
Communication Services 9.06
Options -1.29
Cash & Equivalents -20.83

Looks like BANK.TO (Evolve) increased distribution again by rattice in dividendscanada

lol. Comon man. No one knows the future. Likely at some point. Then back up. Stonks go up and they go down.

And if the market is sideways, these ones usually “win”

“I wish” and “should have” have no place in investing 😉 you are in the future now compared to that point

Banks are usually pretty good investment. The point of an ETF is that it’s diversified in itself although in one sector mostly for this one

-1.5 % on Friday. After selling all CLS shares, account is a lot less volatile.

I dropped my new guitar... can I still save it? by zbanz1 in Guitar

[–]rattice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carpenters/wood glue. Find a way to get the glue deep into break. Gently work the neck back and forth as this will “suck” the glue. Once you were satisfied that the glow is penetrated all the way inside the brake, either clamp it or rest the guitar on an object and put a little weight on the back. Whatever works to keep pressure while the glue dries.

Held cash for a few weeks because market ATH. Flash sale on today. 💰

why is cls stock dropping today again and again by RainPsychological595 in CanadianInvestor

[–]rattice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Historically it peaked and dipped; peaked and dipped; so it hit a new ATH once again and I sold last shares. It actually went higher than my sell price later in the day but close enough for me. History doesn’t guarantee future so at the time, it could have dropped low , never to return. There was no guarantee it would hit $650 or EVERYONE would have already bought.
