Q: Hi,
I have approx $90k balance in US dollars in my US$ account. Additionally I have a number of unhedged Mawer Funds which have a significant exposure to US$. With the rising CAD$ I find that my account size is shrinking just due to US$ currency exposure.
I was thinking of buying several inter-listed Cdn Banks on the US side and then getting them transferred to my Cdn Acct to lessen my overall US$ exposure. Do you think this would be a prudent move or have you any other suggestions.
Thank you.

Q: Currently in the ETF Model Portfolio (Money Saver) you have the following US ETF's" XLY VGT IWO VIG SPY. Can you give me a Hedged substitute that I can buy on the TSX. As an example I would use XSP for SPY. XSU for IWO. Make sense? If this is OK in your opinion what would I do with XLY VGT VIG.

Thanks for the discount on the Monthly Fund and ETF report. I spent Canada Day reading it and found it very information. I know you are thinking I must have a very boring life!!!

Regards

Q: Hi - With the recent pullback in many stocks, have any of your favourites dipped in price enough that you would be advising clients to hop on board. Totally understand that this is just guessing but hoping that a few jump out at you. No need to consider KYC factors in your response. Many thanks!

Q: Stocks in your model portfolios. TNC - when is this takeover going to be completed? It seems like it is taking a long time.
ITC - this stock is the majority of the time under $2.00 and for the short period of time that it goes above $2.00, everyone hits the sell button and it goes back below $2.00. Should I be hitting the sell button the next time it gets over $2.00 because it is the worst performing stock in my portfolio. PEO - also has over the last two months been another under-performer and so should I get out of it? Thank you for your good service Dennis.
