Q: Disregarding the yield, would you buy the 2 country-specific ETFs or stick with the international ETF. I understand this is an apples vs. oranges type of question. Over a longer term, would there be a growth advantage with ZCH and XID over ZDI. Thank you.

Q: Can you comment on QBR in relation to its prospects related to its redemption notice of outstanding 4.125% convertible unsecured subordinated debentures due October 15, 2018. It had good results recently and I am questioning whether there are better alternatives such as Transcontinental.
Kirkland Lake and gold have recently lost their lustre ad momentum. In light of the political chaos globally, is this a hold or can you suggest other options in the mining space?
Thank you!

Q: Hi there,

This is one of my few remaining energy related holdings. Initially bought after a top BNN pick but it has tanked. The only reason I can think of to hold is that it has bottomed and will pop back. Would you sell this without hesitation or do you see a bounce? It's the worst looking mistake in the portfolio so no attachment to it.

Q: Good morning,
Looking to understand BCE 's ongoing weakness, especially relative to Telus, in light of a more than a 1% differential in yield in BCE's favour. Is the market telling us something that we are missing? Should we be buying or reevaluating?

Thank you,

Q: Hi Team,
In the pursuit of finding assets that are not all correlated, it occurred to me that owning Swiss Francs might provide a counterbalance to Canadian and US dollar denominated assets. Swiss Francs may also serve as a hedge against large market corrections.

Do you see any value in owning an ETF such as FXF in a diversified portfolio?

Thank you.

Michael
