It's a weird set of questions, and excuse me if I'm breaking any rules or sounding dumb but I just don't want to make any mistakes.
I'm a canadian dividends paying stock investor who has a decently sized portfolio of large cap companies who've been paying dividends for a minimum of 10 years, increasing annually. My goal is passive income through all my assets.
I was made aware that I'm too exposed to a market crash should it happen, and that I should invest in Bonds and ETFs aswell
Now before I go into this world: 1) is there much of a difference between Bonds & ETFs? Google gives me mixed results. Some act as if bonds are different then ETFs, some say they are the same thing and now I'm all over the place
2) Isn't ETFs as vulnerable to market crashes as stocks?
3) Correct me if I'm wrong, but these are not mutual funds, right?
Thanks, folks.
