Investment Q&A

Q: I have a long held but small position in Sprott Canadian Equity, Energy and Precious Metals . What would you recommend as replacements for these three ? I am looking for growth . Thanx Robbie

Q: Vanguard has come out with some total portfolio ETFS and I'm wondering what you think of them. They include a basket of vanguard ETFS, a low MER and are rebalanced regularly. I have two questions:

1. I was thinking of using one for my 2 year old daughters RESP. What are your thoughts on this? And if you like the idea would you go with VGRO or VBAL?

2. I 'm also considering maybe using them for my RRSP in the future as it would be an easy solution. However, you've mentioned before never to have more than 10% in one ETF? So in this case how safe would it be for someone to have their whole RRSP in this? Does the fact that it is made up of underlying ETFS make a difference? If at some point vanguard decided to discontinue the product, what would happen to the money?

Q: The new Vanguard offering looks good but the market capitalization is tiny. At what level would you advise investing? Thanks.

Q: Any thoughts on these new ETF investment options? Thanks. Peter
