Q: Under symbol TDB976, I have the only 2 questions (Sept 28/15 and Feb 19/16). They contain my background information.

My weighting in this fund is 3% and am still waiting to top it up a bit. It has fallen significantly lately, which I believe is currency related, due to the fund not being hedged.

Question 1 = from here, what does your speculative crystal ball think about where the Cdn-USA currency rate will go, especially now that the Fed is slowing down the normalization process? Oil seems to also be having a currency impact.

Question 2 = should I top this fund up now that it is even more on sale, or wait until the USA election rhetoric subsides? OR, should I sell?

Basically, do you see upside potential for this security? Since buying, I am a little underwater. It is held in my TFSA.

Confused. Thanks,
Steve

Q: I am looking to eventually replicate one of your portfolios. I plan on eventually using my tfsa for this portfolio (growth probably ). I do not have a lot of capital in my tfsa yet. I started contributing $225 biweekly. I do have roughly $6000 in it now with roughly equal holdings of aya, gud, and yfi. How should I proceed with my contributions? Should I start contributing to a d series mutual fund to build up capital or should I save $1000-$2000 and then pick a stock from your portfolio? If going the mutual fund route, would there be a low cost option you would suggest? I'm 38 with time on my side. Thanks as always.

Q: Hello Peter,
Do you think the surge in metals is on an upward swing for a while as teck and hudbay keep rising higher and higher? Also, would you say natural gas stocks will continue to be pegged to oil stocks or do you think they will be considered a sector on their own? lastly, if you had a choice between gold stocks and base metals like teck,, would you rather focus on gold given the low interest environment or would you put half and half. Thanks very much.

Q: P Shoiry(ceo to v.chairman) on BNN,3/16 stated that 20% of its revenue is from Canada,& the co.has done well the last 10 years & its price is determined by the market.No wonder it has missed estimates in EPS 9 out of 14 Q.since 3rd Q,2012 as per Thomson/Reuters.Hopefully,new Ceo will do a better job in this aspect. Will the Federal expected infrastrutal spending have a material effect on WSP? Always appreciate your usual great services & views
