Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

Thanks for answering my previous RESP question. In reviewing iTrade's commission-free ETFs, I note that they have a new bond offering HAF (although it appears to be a bit of a 'hybrid').

There have been no questions yet about this ETF, and I'd really appreciate your take. Interestingly, the sub-advisor is Fiera and I know that you think highly of them.

Thanks in advance!

Q: Good Afternoon
I am getting ready to take some capital losses as gains offsets. I will not need to realize all of the above; but in what order should I use them and if I sell would you buy any of them back? The $ losses are about equal in all cases.

Thanks and enjoy the heat

Q: Hi All,
Just a comment about DR.
Your comment today on DR says that insider buying is only 1%. However, the doctors own approx. 45% of the company and DR equity holders 55%. We have owned DR in 3 portfolios since 2006 and are verrry pleased with it's eligible dividends and steady growth, eventhough it can be quite volatile at times.

Q: PBH is a consistent top recommendation from the balanced portfolio. But are there risks from Amazon as they are also getting into the food business?
Most of the other food manufacturers and retailers have been negatively affected by the Amazon threat, but PBH so far has not. Could this change?
