Q: Does the combination of its recent stock price declines and today's apparent negative reaction to CPX's acquisiton provide an attractive entry point?

If not at the current price, is there a price you would consider attractive or would you prefer FTS, other utilities or an ETF?

Thanks

Q: hi
I’m trying to build a simple ETF portfolio with TSX & S&P500 exposure so that’s it’s easy to add during dips.
For the S&P500 i’m thinking XSP.
Not sure what to do about the TSX. Undecided on XIU, XEI or XDIV. I realize the composition of each is different. Energy, Financials, Utilities etc. What would you do?
Thanks
