Q: I was reading Norm Rothery's article on the "hot potato" portfolio strategy. As you know it involves investing in one of four etf's based on the previous year's best performance. The asset classes are Canadian Bond Index, S&P/TSX Composite Index, S&P 500 and MSVI EAGE Index. I have to do a little more research on this strategy but should I decide to allocate a small investment here, what 4 specific etf's would you recommend?

Q: As a long term (15 years) shareholder, I am in the money. But, despite what appear to be solid metrics and reasonable growth and a fairly broad book of business, the stock goes nowhere and is not followed by analysts. Daily volume is generally thin. The dividend appears secure. Is it worth continuing to hold?

Q: I follow your responses quite closely and value your perspective. On Sept 16th your response to a question on BYD.UN included the statement that it was 12 x ev/ebitda. For those of us who follow such metrics, could you outline the numbers you used to come to this result. My numbers return a result of 4.8. Perhaps an explanation of why you rely on such a metric would also help. Thanks.

Q: Hi,

What US ETF's do you think would be a good way to play the US market for the next 2-3 years. I really for longer than that but I think there's going to be a lot volatility in the next couple years. I'm underrepresented in cyclicals, consumer discretionary, banks, energy and big Pharma, but not technology. I own QQQ.
