Q: Hi Peter

What biotech stocks do you prefer? Many seem to be breaking out based on point and figure charts. What biotechs would you recommend in terms of individual names and also what ETF do you prefer?

Thanks so much!

Q: Hi guys,

I'm a Dow shareholder, and while I know your focus is not US, I was wondering if you could offer some clarity on the upcoming merger/sale of Dow's chlorine division with/to Olin Corp. The prospectus talks of exchanging Dow shares for "Splitco" shares, into Olin shares ...
Any clarity and advise you can offer is much appreciated.

Q: Peter

You once indicated that you had Priceline as a company with a superior business model long before its stellar gains. The results are borne out in the linked article. Wouldn't it be FUN to find the next 4,000% gainer?

Q: Hi there, instead of complicating my Us and international positions, I was considering VTthx as an idea since the mers are low as well. I was considering 50% of my Rrsp for this since it is diversified. What do you think of this approach for a 20 year hold...do you think this can come out more successful than multiple positions?if you suggest multiple positions can you provide some suggestions for a long term hold.

Q: Hi, 5i.

I'd like to purchase some US dollars to buy a US listed company or two. It doesn't strike me that now is a good time since our dollar is so low compared to the US dollar and so I'm having trouble grasping the correct thinking on this.

Say, for example, I buy Disney today and get a 20% total return in the next 5 years. However, say that our dollar is trading around 20% higher in 5 years than it is today. Would I effectively have no return if I sold Disney after 5 years and converted to Canadian dollars?

Thank you for your help.

Robert

Q: Hi I hold one full position in Qqq and have done well with this, this is probably my only significant position in the US markets the rest are well diversified but mostly canadian stocks. I would like this to be a long term hold, however if you think the US tech stocks have had their run up in the near term, I was considering selling a half position to diversify in Us markets..can you suggest an ETF if you feel that is the right course of action. Thanks.Shyam
