Q: I would like your take on 3 US stocks held in a diversified US big cap growth equity portfolio. I am thinking of transferring out of these 3 because of the change in the last year of the likely overall growth, globally, at least from by point of view, and the resulting lower demand for these companies products. The stocks are CAT-N (construction machinery), and CMI-N and DCI-N, both diversified machinery...... Guess it is about a change in portfolio mix, eh?!....Thanks

Q: I would like to invest in health care sector in my registered account. Should I buy XLV or PSCH. Which of these ETFs would have more growth? Alternatively, you could recommend another ETF or individual stocks. My weighting in health care is insignificant at this time.

Thank you

Q: Hello

Noticed TWX slipping a little as of late despite very strong box office results along with other positives moving forward. Any reasons we should be aware that might explain the 9% drop since the end of December

Thanks for all you do

Q: The company got a positive mention in the latest Barrons by Scott Black. I noticed significant insider buying in this stock. The valuation appears to be reasonable. What am I missing if anything?

Q: Hey guys,
Just wondering what your thoughts are on Marathon Oil Corporation compared to a larger company like Chevron. Further to that do you expect that these companies are near the bottom or will it be a while still before we see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Q: With the strength in the USD would it not be wiser to invest in mid/smaller cap US equities since they have less FX exposure. What do you think of VUS?
Thank-you.

Q: You have mentioned MDA,G,CCL.B as Canadian stocks benefitting from U.S. growth. With the BoC rate cut, could you identify any other stocks in your two Model Portfolios that you think will have additional benefit. Are there any that you would now have concerns with given the rate change ?
I don't hold any non-Canadian stocks - do you feel it is sufficient to benefit from U.S. growth this way or would you still recommend buying U.S. stocks direct ? If so, what U.S. etf's would you now recommend, as I have a (more than) full complement of individual Canadian equities. Many thanks and congrats on such great results for 2014.
