That's not actually well diversified... All of those funds are market cap weighted which means that you are overweighted in large/mega cap stocks with very little in mid-/small cap stocks. Typically that won't be too bad but in the current situation, that also means that you have a high weighting in technology as technology stocks make up over 30% of the US market.

Ideally, to be well-diversified, you should have more exposure to small and mid-cap stocks.

No that's not what market capped means. It means no one company will make up more than a certain % of the fund (ie Nortel in the 90s made up 30% of the Canadian market)

XIC tracks the total Canadian market covering 95 %.

VTI covers over 3500 companies.

I made a point of not buying just big companies in choosing these.

Let me be clear in saying I'm not well diversified, you couldn't be more wrong.

craftsman wrote: ↑ The problem with the ETF is that it's really just 3 stocks - CNQ, SU, and CVE - which make up 60+% of the ETF. All three are large-cap plays which are fine if that's what you are looking for but the level of upside may be more capped than if you moved down to the mid-caps. Also, each of the three I listed pays 5.46%, 3.58%, and 2.93% dividends so you are much better off buying these 3 stocks separately and collect a higher total dividend and you won't have to worry about 0.61% MER.

I have noticed this issue with ETFs that don’t have caps on the amount a position can represent and that focus on giving higher positions to the largest companies.

XIT.TO for instance has 80% of its holdings in just 4 big stocks (SHOP, Constellation, CGI and OTEX) 3 of which missed the tech rally, LSPD and BB had to make big moves for them to be noticed in the ETF.

I believe that’s part of why Buffett used to say ETFs makes no sense to investors who “know something”.

I'd not change the strategy based on one day performance. But oh well, what do I know.
Speaking of "boomer" poor choices. My boomer picks are 43% green so far midday.

it's not a boomer stock if it's up 43 percent in half a day.
