Q: Hi,
I would like to acquire a good cover in US financials. I am looking in particular at iai (iShares U.S. Broker-Dealers & Securities Exchanges ETF), zub (BMO Equal Weight US Banks Hedged to CAD Index ETF), zbk (BMO Equal Weight US Banks Index ETF). Can you explain the difference between zbu and zbk and what would you suggest for a good coverage of US financials with a solid growth prospect ?
Thanks in advance for your valuable assistance,
Jacques

Q: Asked by Peter, Dec.13 about Badger: "Just a comment to Q today.Bad was a TP of Takacsy on MC on Dec 11"
It would be appreciated if abbreviations are not used. For example, I am a member since inception and an investor for over 10 years - I have no idea (after consideration) what TP, Takacsy, and MC mean.
It only takes an extra few seconds!
Thanks.
Peter

Q: I guess I'll hold on until the dividend date. But PUR was one of my largest positions even before the takeover offer. As such it is now about 10% of my portfolio. My question is how long do you think the takeover will take and in my position, would you just err on the side of safety and take the considerable money and run. Also, although I have held PUR for a long time, your continued endorsement of the company made it easier to continue to hold through the recent drop and I thank-you for that.

Q: Congrats for you terrific job!
I am often wondering when you recommend certain etf over some great money manager (like phn, egdepoint or mawer) for just half a point of management fees and on the other hand, you recommend full active management with your own model portfolio.
I think with all the money flowing into indexing and closet-indexer and quants, we are gonna see some benefits in years ahead for truly and talented active managers.
With respect, your model porfolio have proven their ability to beat the index as some greats money manager (as mentionned above).
Comments please
