Cap-weighted indexes are the traditional tool of index investors, and they should be your default choice when comparing ETFs. There are several reasons for this. First, they're the most representative of the overall stock market. Second, in almost all cases they're the cheapest (as little as 0.03-0.06%). Finally, cap-weighted index funds-especially those tracking the broad market-typically have the lowest turnover, which means stocks are rarely sold and replaced. This can result in fewer realized capital gains, making these ETFs more tax-efficient if you hold them outside of TFSAs and RRSPs. [2021] - Dan Bortolotti

One of the cancer-fighting innovations is CAR T-cell therapy, in which doctors remove immune system cells from a patient's blood and add a gene that allows the cells to bind to proteins on the patient's tumor. Another immuno-oncology approach, checkpoint blockade therapy, quashes the ability of cancerous cells to evade detection by our immune system. CAR-T therapy and checkpoint inhibition are less than a decade old. DNA-sequencing technology has also offered us an opportunity to understand the evolution of a specific patient's cancer. [2019] - David A. Sinclair

For a given shift in interest rates or financial strength, changes in the market value of long-term bonds will be much greater than price changes of short-term bonds. For example, a 1% increase in interest rates would cause the market price of a 3-year $10,000 bond to decline by around 3% or $300; whereas a $10,000 30-year bond would likely drop in price by around 20% or $2,000. (Note that bond market price changes don't much matter if you hold a bond to maturity.) [2018] - Larry Bates
