As the market continues to price in higher interest rates for longer, there is opportunity in owning floating rate securities. CIM-B is a preferred stock issued by Chimera Investment Corporation with a fixed rate coupon of 8.0%. CIM-B trades at a 15% discount to par leading to a current rate of 9.4%.
On 3/30/24, 9 months from now, CIM-B switches to a floating rate security of 5.79% + 3m SOFR + 0.26%. The 3m SOFR is the replacement for LIBOR and is current
Looking for some input from fellow Canucks on your preferred Canadian ETF’s. I’m looking to move some gains from individual stocks and to make some regular contributions going forward (want to avoid the currency exchange fees).

NDAQ has been outperforming the s&p 500 for nearly a decade until now. When news of the deal purchasing Adenza (formerly calypso) broke the stock tumbled to $50
NDAQ says they are pivoting toward fintech rather than just exchange operation due to narrowing margins and limited growth. Not only did they purchase Adenza but they did so at what appears to be a very expensive price. Calypso was purchased by private equity for ~3.4b in 2021. Only 2 years la
Planning to own one of the defense contractors. Looking to invest for the long term (so the next war(s), not the current one).
The obvious options are Lockheed Martin (LMT), Raytheon (RTX), General Dynamics (GD), Northrop Grumman (NOC).

Looking to put 50% of my portfolio into one or two of these ETFs. I want to get everyones opinion on these and see what you guys would recommend.
As of now, i'm leaning towards 25% QQQ and 25% VOO. Looks like VGT has outperformed both of these ETFs though so not sure why everyone recommends QQQ. VUG is also a good one but I think I would rather pick VOO. I understand there is a good amount of overlap
