Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi 5i. In an answer to Joel today you said "to make sure he has his US PF in place." I have 25.5% of my well balanced PFs in US and am interested in VXUS or VEU. However I have 4.85% in US financials, 9% in US I.T, 4.7% in US Cyclicals and 7% in US Industrials. Should I have all US sectors? before I buy International? Must i go to 5% in one of these ETFs? I have no International. I;m looking to hold for a long time in my RRIF. I am a young 67. Please deduct credits as you see fit. I've been a member since April 2014 and still "lovin it". Thanks so much!

Q: I have just read a new article with a doomsday comment about another financial crisis being on its way. "The same problems that caused the financial crisis are back". I understand that no one can really predict things but given the strong upward trends that we have seen one could expect some sort of correction. To take a conservation approach how should one adjust their investment distribution. What sectors are less affected? and would ETF's or mutual funds be safer that stocks? What about bonds? This is probably worth a couple of credits. Thank you, Doug

Q: I heard on BNN, where Americans aren't buying Canadian Oil & Gas stocks. Viper put out a statement where there production is up 23% over first quarter & 95% yoy. Average price $73.64 down 10% Quarter one, but because of increased production, their cash flow is up & increased dividend 10%. Stock price has basically traded sideways over this years spanned & didn't have any momentum on the announcement. Undoubtedly I am missing something again. Appreciate your comment on Viper. Thanks

Q: Hi, just a follow-up regarding adding to a KHW.UN position:
I just noticed 2nd quarter financials will be released August 14. Would you recommend to wait to add until after 2nd quarter is released just in case they didn't meet/beat their expected earnings? Or do you add regardless being comfortable that they will be in-line with expectations?
