Q: Seasons greetings 5i!

I currently own VIG,FEZ,QQQ,IWO and BRK.B in my US portfolio each about 6%.
Going into 2014 and with the expectation of tappering and rise in interest rates. Are these ETF's ok to hold for the next year or two and is it ok to bump up my holdings to 10% in each?
I own SLW for insurance as well.

Looking forward to your reply.
Thanks.

Q: My question is on Abbott Labs and Abbvie. I had 300 shares of Abbott and they split. Now I have 300 of Abbott and 300 of Abbvie. Should I hold both sell both or keep one over the other. I know that Humira comes off of patton in 2016 in US and 2017 in Europe. Should I sell Abbvie before then?

Q: I had thought you only answered questions on Canadian stocks, but I've seen a number of questions answered about US and even international stocks, so I thought I'd see if you had any opinion on JAZZ, Jazz Pharmaceuticals in the US.

Q: Peter and Team,

Can you provide any insight to the big 30% drop at OSIS due to a contract cancellation? Its a very small speculative position in my portfolio, is the bad news already baked in, or is the a sign of things to come? Thanks.
