Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Good Morning all,

Question regarding Russel Metals latest results, could you comment please? Also when I look at my sector allocation, it comes up as Basic Materials because of Steel...should I leave it there or move it elsewhere? Could it be more considered Industrial (even somewhat Energy given its customer base)? thoughts please & Thanks in advance!

Q: Peter, I am going to provide my daughters (18 & 19) with $5,000 to start their TFSA's. The amount is not large enough to have a portfolio and I have read your answers on this type of question. However, I am thinking of a EFT for the S&P 500 rather than the Canadian index which is too focused on Financials and Energy. As their expenses will be in Canadian $, I would like your recommendations for a hedged EFT. Should I add a small position in SHOP, etc?

Q: I'm not sure if this has been previously asked.I have 4 accounts with Scotia itrade. In their acct. summaries they don't have a field for current allocation percentages. I'd like to set up a similar format to your Balanced,Income and Growth portfolios reports.I assume your program is propitiatory.Are you aware of other similar programs available to avoid doing it manually?.
