Q: In calculating the weightings of individual equity holdings, I use only my total equity holdings as the denominator and ignore bonds. Outside of Canada, my equity exposure is held in international ETFs, and I include these in the total equity when making the above calculation. Do you think that's the right approach? I go back and forth on whether to remove the ETFs from the calculation.

Thanks.

Q: In my self administered TFSA I’m invested about 50% in US equities/50%CND equities.

So whenever I’m buying or selling a US stock I have to deal with currency conversions as well as trading fees.

Am I allowed to have a Self directed US dollar TFSA thru Invest Direct at CIBC and linked to US dollar account held at the same bank? My local CIBC guy says no. Seems RBC allows it. Thanks for your appreciated guidance!!
