Q: I was interested in Jeff's follow-up comment on Excelon sales declining. Who sold it before Knight in Latam and Canada? Perhaps the reason the company made a deal with Knight is to improve visibility and awareness while giving Knight's sales force new avenues for it's other products.
The price tag does not appear to be a bargain (Knight paid $360M or double for $250M sales in Biotoscan). Surely Goodman sees value in this deal. If there was no effort before then potential must be factored in and I suspect Latam is the more coveted marketplace. Can you comment and provide any previous history with sales of this product. Alzheimers us unfortunately, not going anywhere soon.

Q: I'm helping a friend set up a "couch potato portfolio". I noticed a while back that you commented on such a portfolio. I am suggesting the following to my friend. What do you think? Is there any of the ETFs that you would swap out? And why?

XIU S&P/TSX60 total return for Canada 25%
ZSP BMO S&P 500 Index ETF for USA 25%
XEF ishares Core MSCI EAFE for Europe/Japan 25%
ZEM BMO MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF for emerging markets 5%
XGD iShares S&P/TSX Global Gold for gold exposure 5%
ZAG BMO Aggregate Bond ETF 15%

It appears that both ZSP and XEF offer USD versions. What are the pros and cons?
Thanks
