For the personal (non-corporate) investment account of a Canadian resident/citizen, are gains in the US exchange-listed bullion ETF (ie. SLV, GLD, IAU) securities taxed as capital gains (ie. 50% inclusion rate)??

The reason I'm asking is because these funds are not registered
investment companies, but are structured as "grantor trusts" instead.

I know that other US and foreign equity ETFs are legally
recognized as "registered investment companies" and are thus exempt from the "foreign investment entity" legislation which could otherwise cause for onerous taxes; so
ETFs and closed-end funds which are registered investment companies benefit from the same tax treatment as Canadian stocks with respect to dispositions (ie. simple capital gains w/ 50% inclusion rate).

But do these "Grantor trust" strutured metal ETFs (ie. GLD/SLV) also benefit from the same favorable tax treatment (50% inclusion rate of realized capital gains and nothing else)?

I keep hearing that one should invest in mutual funds that are a combination of around 60% stocks and 40% mutual funds. Can someone knowledgeable in mutual funds recommend a company (like Vangard for Fidelity) that sells mutual fund that invests with this arrangement (60/40)?

Dividend harvesting involves buying a stock shortly before the ex-dividend date, then selling after holding for a short period afterwards. Does anyone have any experience with investing in this manner?

I am a new investor, looking to invest roughly $500 a month, every month, for at least 10 years. I want to buy Vanguard index funds. Should I go ahead and open an individual account with Vanguard? The minimum initial investment is $3,000...does that mean I must initially "invest" the $3,000 or can I simply fund the account with $3,000?

Thank you for your help.

Are there other reasons? What are the main factors that affect Bond prices? I'm still trying to figure out the bond market. A substantial portion of my 401K is in a bond fund, and it's been doing terribly this year. I thought bonds were supposed to be a safe haven from the volatility of the market, but they seem to be just as risky, or more, than small-caps or emerging markets.
