Q: Hi 5I,
I recently read that Russia is the cheapest stock market in the world and its index has historically outperformed even that of the US. What would you say to this? Can you recommend a Canadian listed ETF or other way to play Russia? Thanks!

Q: Do you see ENB as a potential tax-loss selling candidate for the remainder of this year, despite it not being on your list in your recent blog entry on the topic?

I have a 3% portfolio weighting of ENB in a taxable account and still wish to hold it long term, however as I have a small (7%) loss I'm contemplating selling it and buying it back at the beginning of January or thereabouts to offset some of this year's capital gains. Would you advise such a move for ENB right now, or is this all a bit too fancy (and/or risky)?
