Q: Small caps REALLY seem to be moving, many which I own from your growth portfolio. For example, PLI, IRD, PHO, CRH, ECN, TNC, GUD, SVI, and ITC. Is it the individual stories for each stock that is pushing prices up, or do you see a larger rotation into small caps? Do you feel their is still value in the names above and in small caps in general?

Q: I am cleaning up my portfolio and have to deal with a $35k loss on Terra Energy (TTRHF) .. what is the best way to do this? I was sent a form to sign by my online broker (Letter of Authorization - Direction to Remove and Assign Securities (Delisted)) .. is this a good idea? And what about the case of a stock that is still listed (e.g. Knighthawk - KHA) at 2 cents?
Your advice is much appreciated in dealing with these matters.

Q: RRSP question: Assume I am an Alberta resident with $0 income in 2017. How much can I withdraw from from my RRSP account while maintaining a 0% tax rate (disregard withholding tax)? 2017 Basic Alberta Personal Amount is $18,690 at 10% and Federal amount is $11,635 at 15%. And, can I make this withdrawal now (Feb. 17) for 2017 or does the March 1st RRSP cutoff date apply for withdrawals as well? Thanks.
Q: Based on my own accounts it seems that bond ETFs are negatively correlated with stocks, on the whole. That's not surprising, but do you have any numbers on this?
Q: Can you recommend 3 good names in the financial sector (any sub-sector) that are a good value? Banks seem to have had a bit of a run with the rising interest rate and deregulation talk and they seem a bit pricey. Would you wait for a pull back or is the run up justified and sustainable? Anything else look good today?
Thanks

Q: When using the above methodology (BTSX), by definition, sector balancing is uncontrolled. Given that, and the undisputed performance of the methodology, can a long term buy and hold investor commit to using this method for the bulk (say 75%) of his equity portfolio and feel confident of the portfolio's stability relative to the TSX index?
Q: Peter, I am going to provide my daughters (18 & 19) with $5,000 to start their TFSA's. The amount is not large enough to have a portfolio and I have read your answers on this type of question. However, I am thinking of a EFT for the S&P 500 rather than the Canadian index which is too focused on Financials and Energy. As their expenses will be in Canadian $, I would like your recommendations for a hedged EFT. Should I add a small position in SHOP, etc?
Q: I can't find any recent recommendations for a portfolio's sector weightings. Could you please list once again your suggested sector percentages for an average growth-and-income investor? Thanks!
