Q: I am considering moving some money from an S&P 500 based ETF to a TSX 60 based ETF here now that the resource stocks decline has affected the TSX and made it better value here than the S&P 500. Am I thinking straight or does the momentum of the S&P 500 mean that I should keep my money in it? Diversification is not an issue for me, I am well diversified no matter what I do with this money, I am thinking in terms of timing here. Thanks.

What is your experience with the effects of this kind of event? Seems like it would boost investment, but should us retail investors jump on board too and go for the ride? Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter & associates:
I own 500 shares of GM in my RRSP, partly to gain some foreign exposure and partly because the dividends aren't subject to U.S. withholding tax within an RRSP. Given the federal government's recent announcement to unload its shares onto the market in order to help it balance the budget, is it a good time to buy more?

Q: Hey Peter & team,
In my capacity as a UIC at our locale baseball assoc I had the occasion while watching a couple of young umpires, to chat with a dad who... is in a fairly prominent position with EA. He mentioned they have just enjoyed a record best quarter and that their next report (end of April) should be very positive.
Jan 2014 you discussed EA painting a fairly positive picture while admitting you do not follow EA closely enough to be able to discuss their strategy at length. You did say they generate excellent cash flow (which my new friend mentioned as well) and that they have quite a bit of cash on hand.
Stock is up 46% in the past year. Can you tell me what your thoughts on it now, if you feel it is expensive, and if you would recommend it as a buy.
Thanks for all you do
Gord

Q: Todays announcement re disposing off the financial unit, plus buying back shares, plus increasing dividend, coupled with a ten fold increase in the no of shares traded today make a case to buy the stock now.

Q: This is fresh off the press: David's Tea (for those that have seen it's growth in the streets of major cities in Canada and select U.S. cities) has filed for an IPO. First question is if you guys are able to go through the IPO Form S-1 filing and if so, what do you guys think of this company coming to the market. I know you guys usually have reservations for any IPO companies, so how does this IPO rank?
Q: Morning, I currently do not have a REIT in my portfolio but also do not have much for US exposure other than a couple of Indexed and Divident ETF's. I am looking for a nice yield with modest growth. What do you know of NNN? Ido you have something else you are more comfortable with?
