Is Nvidia Unstoppable and is Lululemon in Trouble?

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we shift our focus from broad-based index funds to explore the world of sector-specific ETFs. While index funds provide a great foundation, they often concentrate on certain sectors more than others, potentially leaving gaps in your portfolio. 
Join us as we break down the S&P; 500 and S&P; TSX sector weightings, highlighting areas where investors might be underexposed, such as real estate, utilities, materials, energy, and consumer staples. Drawing inspiration from John Templeton's timeless wisdom on diversification, we'll provide you with Canadian and US listed ETF ideas for each of these sectors.
Additionally, we'll delve into Warren Buffett's insights on achieving impressive returns with a smaller investment pool and share five intriguing Canadian small-cap stocks that have recently caught our eye.
