Should this DIY investor go all in on this international ETF?

I am seriously considering investing in ETFs. Is there a penalty or limit into investing solely on an international ETF such as XAW?—Michael
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) can be a great investment tool, Michael. There are over 900 ETFs listed on the TSX right now, according to the Toronto Stock Exchange, and thousands more available to Canadian investors through other North American markets.
Many investment advisors in Canada use ETFs in their clients’ portfolios, and they have definitely become a favourite for self-directed do-it-yourself (DIY) investors. One problem with the number of choices available today is you practically need an advisor to help you pick ETFs if you’re interested in more than the vanilla options. There are sector ETFs, commodity ETFs, crypto ETFs, inverse ETFs (that rise when markets fall), leveraged ETFs (that return a multiple of the market’s performance), and so on.
