Q: Thanks for your great service. In your response to Raj this morning, you state that "The ETF TXF has been liquidated (closed)." I currently hold this and it trades daily albeit at low volumes. Is there something happening to this ETF that I don't know about?

Q: I am considering this ETF. What would be the principal drivers of performance for this ZCM? My understanding was that the return of corporate bonds more closely parallel equities compared to government bonds, but I see that in 2015, ZCM still managed to eke out a positive return despite the overall decline in Canadian equities. I also note that it has produced a positive return every year since inception. How closely correlated to stock returns do you expect ZCM to be? What is the likelihood of this product generating a negative return in any one calendar year, and what kind of scenario might have to play out in order for that to happen?

Q: Hi Folks
Is there a Canadian dollar way to play the Biotech industry. Would it be correct to say that IBB would be a US dollar purchase?
Thanks for all you do

Q: Peter; In the Globe this weekend there was an article about low volatility foreign etf's . One was the ishares Edge MSCI Min. Volatility Gloal ETF. It looked interesting so I did some research and found the symbol XMY. But if I read the info correct it looks like you couldn't really buy or sell any reasonable size. Can you comment on this etf and why experts recommend such untradeable units. Thanks. Rod
Q: I was up 4% owning it for only 5 months until yesterday.One stock dropped 63% causing cdz to drop 3%.
Is the etf allowed to sell this company now?
Will this affect the other stocks in the ETF.(I own 2 of them.)
Should I sell or stick with this ETF. It was one of your suggestions.

Q: Many comments are made about diversifying outside Canada; Europe is thought to have good potential. I would like to take a look at it and thought to go with an ETF. But I am very uneasy about "Brexit" and every fund I look at has a 20 % or more weighting in Britain. Can you suggest an ETF or other suitable product that has no British exposure? Thanks for your help. BTW, first time question for me...I quite enjoy your work. Leonard
Q: Is this a good time in the cycle to go with this?
SP chart looks good technically to me, what portion of your fixed income weighing could go for it?
Any other thoughts?
Your service is wise and most valuable...

Q: HI folks: AS of June 17 GDXJ will be kicking a large number
of Jr. gold stocks out of their ETF. This will likely
drag the price of these juniors down for a period.
If this pull back happens, what do you think of buying
some ZJG to maintain a holding of some Jr. gold companies?
