Q: CLCT has recently pulled back a bit after a nice run. What is your current opinion of purchasing this US small-cap stock now as a 1 - 3 yr hold, and how well covered is their (rather juicy!) dividend?

Thanks!

Q: Regarding Linda's question on washing within RRSP. RBC Direct for a few years now, has both US and Canadian currency accounts in RRSP, TSFA and all other accounts. Thus when you trade US securities they stay in US $ and you are not hit with currency exchanges coming and going. I find this feature a huge advantage.

Q: I have held VB(NYSE) in a RIF for approx.2 yrs. Including the substantial change in currency, I am up about 45%, however this sector has somewhat flat-lined recently. I am thinking of selling this security & would appreciate your thoughts on buying into a medical/pharmaceutical index in the US.

Q: Peter and Team,

If looking for US equity exposure and exposure to US businesses with International earnings, doesn't it make sense to buy Berkshire and simply trim the weighting when it rises in order to "pay yourself."

If seems to me this would leave one with a long term hold of a diversified collection of bluechip businesses and minimize fees because you don't pay a management fee and you don't have to buy a bunch of companies individually.

Any thoughts on this approach?

Q: I have been working on my sector allocations in my portfolio.
I at present have no US exposure and no US dollars to purchase stocks. I recognize that you recommend approximately 30 percent exposure in the portfolio to the US. Should I use Canadian dollars at this time to purchase US stocks or US etf's. My concern is the effect on my portfolio if the canadian dollar starts to rise.
In my research I have come across the suggestion to purchase 3 canadian stocks that take advantage of the drop in the canadian dollar and drop in the price of oil. (EXCO, WINPAK, and SJ) Should I purchase these stocks now and wait til the rise of the canadian dollar value to purchase my US portfolio?
Your guidance is greatly appreciated.
I know that you can not time the market and that is not my intention. I'm just trying to implement diversification.
