Q: ZXA is a targeted corporate bond maturity ETF which on the surface sounds like a good idea right now instead of an open-ended bond ETF. It shows a recent yield of 4.9% but I am wondering if that is sustainable and also what you think of this ETF as a way to invest in bonds going into a possible rising interest environment.

Q: Sandstorm Gold (SSL) is taking a hit today along with the rest of the gold sector. It's down about 4 percent to a 52 week low. Would this be a good entry point.

Q: Hi 5i,
I've heard that U.S. regional banks (NOT the big boys who gave us 2008) have good potential for growth vis a vis other North American financials. 1. Do you agree? 2. If yes, do you have any individual names that come to mind? 3. Are there any ETFs that are heavily weighted toward U.S. regional banks?
Thank you for your comments and hope the trip is going well.

Q: Peter and team,

Love your latest post on the Mutual Fund industry. So the big question is when will company defined contribution plans, like the ones managed by Standard Life etc. be forced to offer a wider range of investment products (including ETSs) that allow the employee to reduce the fees associated with their plans. In many, you just have a choice of a basket of MFs all with high MERS. This has been going on for years and employees have little or no choice if they want to participate and contribute to these plans and get the employer match. Sounds like some activism is needed!

Q: Hi Peter,
I purchased some resource/energy names a few years ago (POT/NML/PXX/RNX) they are all down across the board. At this juncture would you suggest I hold these names and wait for a turn or sell at a loss and move into the model portfolio that you put together? Thank-you.
