Q: I asked a question earlier about Caisse Desjardins Federal Capital Shares. Thankyou for your answer. I left a crucial element out, though. The holder of these shares is 98 this week. If this instrument acts something like a preferred share, it probably wouldn't be appropriate for her . I am thinking, for example, of the performance of CPD, recently. But, it seems to be a bit different than a preferred share, too. But, there still doesnt seem to be any guarantee, like a real fixed income instrument. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
Happy New Year.
In the original asset allocator there was a suggested portfolio in ETFs. Mine has vanished! I was trying to look up possible ETFs in European or International small caps.
Are there any? Or would GIB, WSP,Altus or CAE count as international as well as Canadian?
