Q: Greetings:
A comment was made today on BNN that value stocks are trading at a 40% discount to where they have been trading historically, and that if an investor buys into this, and is value oriented,. then a good vehicle is the Direxion Russell 1000 value over growth ETF. RWVG. Do you agree with the 40% statement and if so, with the recommendation of this ETF. Would you further offer as much rebuttal as possible about both statements.
Thanks,
BEN.

Q: I recently asked a question about recommended ETF holdings in my RRSP for coverage of the US market. You had suggested converting my holdings to USD and purchase VOO direct on the US market rather than the CAD ETFs I currently hold. This would eliminate withholding taxes.
How much of a drag on performance would these withholding taxes represent?

Q: Hi! I have an ETF portfolio and a portfolio of Canadian and U.S. stocks. I have 10% of my ETF portfolio in Fixed Income given the historically low interest rates. This accounts for about 5% of my overall portfolio which is pretty low. Difficult to add here. I have some XHY and CBO which offset the risks of rising rates somewhat. Should I add to my fixed income portfolio or wait for rates to rise a bit. If I do add, rate reset preferred might be another option or continue adding to CBO and XHY?

Thank you,
Jason
