I bought late-April expiry put options on all my U.S. holdings on April 1st when the market wasn’t yet reacting to the tariffs (probably were skeptical he would actually do it this time) and they looked decent yesterday, but today they are printing.

Here’s how I’ve been allocating mine in the Canadian market, with a DRIP in place:

XCNS - 26% - iShares’ Conservative Balanced ETF 40% Stock / 60% Bonds
VEQT - 26% - Vanguard All-Equity ETF
ZGRO-T - 28% - BMO’s Growth ETF but with a monthly distribution cadence instead of quarterly. Less capital appreciation but the yield and compounding with a DRIP more than make up for it over the long term.

The remaining 20% is to play with and try some higher risk strategies.
