Q: Can you please tell me if employee options are currently, accurately reflected in US and Canadian financial statements? If not, how significant would this be to the balance sheets of companies, in particular tech stocks? After some research, I'm losing confidence in the auditing results of companies by the established accounting firms. Trump's appointment of Jay Clayton to the SEC concerns me even more as I'm thinking the system is already rigged against the small investor and we will see many more Sunbeam's , Enron's, Concordia's, etc. in the stock markets future. Please use as many credits as you feel necessary to give an in depth answer. Thank you

Q: Good morning,
I have a US based Fidelity 401k but the Portfolio Tracking doesn’t seem to recognize any of the fund symbols. Any chance of getting them added to the database?
Thanks for the good service

Q: Most of my equities are individual dividend DRIP stocks. I'm mulling switching to non-drip because I would like much more clarity in terms of the dividend $ our stocks generate and how the basic stock price is performing. Your thoughts please?
Q: I hold aa good amount of your income portfolio and about 50% of the balanced portfolio. But my u.s. exposure is only 12%. Would it be a good idea to use xei for Canadian dividend exposure as I require about 4.5% to live on in my outside accounts and sell down some of the balanced fund and invest in vun to bring my exposure higher. Also, what percentage of my total portfolio would you suggest in u.s.exposure...Thanks for the great service...Gene

Q: Bogle-style, self-directed investors (buying an exchange-traded fund which mirrors the S&P 500, e.g. SPY, VOO, IVV, RSP in an appropriate asset allocation) can probably ignore commissions today, especially on six-digit transactions. Even five-digit ones.
Can they ignore bid/ask spreads? Market orders get filled instantly, limit orders can take forever.
Thank you.

Q: I was comparing performance of these 2 ETFs and I was expecting correlated graphs.
After all, they track the same index. On 10 years the difference is huge.
All I could find is HXT prospectus talks about Total Return, while XIU doesn't use this phrase.

Q: I perhaps made the mistake of buying a stock because it "looks cool" instead of being more level headed. This one has been basically flat since I bought it a about year ago. Do you think I should hang in there or bail?
Q: I have ~$10,000 in cash in my children’s RESP account, they are 6 and 8 years old, what stocks would you recommend. I assume investing $5,000 or so in each company would make sense?
Thx

Q: CJ is up almost 8 per cent today. Can't find any news. Stockhouse, bnn, company website don't seem to have any news. Anything on your radar? I believe CJ will have strong first quarter results. If the stock pops on that news I will get out of CJ. What are your thoughts on this junior , Canadian oil weighted company?
