Q: My portfolio mainly consist of Canadian stocks. I would like to purchase two Canadian ETFs, one with exposure to the US and the other with global exposure. Can you recommend a couple for me at this time? With the Canadian dollar being quite low now, do you think it is better to get hedged ETFs?
Thanks, Paul
Thanks, Paul
Q: What do you think of the convertible deb offering?
Q: It seems like the places to be near and mid term are US and Europe for growth and not Canada for the time being. I have exposure in Canada already with Utility and Financial dividend payers which I will continue to hold, could you recommend your favorite ETFs for some exposure to US, Europe and possible Emerging markets if you like the EM.
Also, could you comment on the "Hedged to CAD" ETFs---It seems to me we trade ETFs like stocks through our brokerage accounts in CAD, so why worry what the ETF managers are doing as far as currency is concerned?

Q: Hi 5i. Trying to improve sector allocations. Currently we have only 3.5% in Industrials.
I am looking at XGI - iShares S&P Global Industrials (CA$ hedged). This ETF has only 1 holding which is EXI - iShares Global Industrials US$ ETF. We are looking at investing CA$ funds and don't wish to convert. Questions :
- Do you think that XGI has sufficient size (current net assets ~$40M) for an investment ?
- Do you know if there is an "un-hedged" version of XGI ?
- Do you think that somewhere between 10 and 15% should be allocated to Industrials ?
- Any other thoughts on a Global Industrials ETF ?
As always, thanks for your help. Much apreciated. T

Q: In response to ernie's question. Google sheets works well. Here is the formula to get the current price ( chnge symbol for each stock of course, and u. S. Exchanges just need the symbol:
