Q: Hi, I have 20 CSU.WTS . The company that I'm transferring my investment account to can't hold warrants. An option is to just delete them, as they have no value now and I assume they're not worth that much. Could you ball park their future value? I could also jump through hoops to find a way to hang on to them.

thx, Mark

Q: I am Canadian and I have considerable savings in a US money market account. With everything going on in the US right now, should I exchange those US$$ back to Canadian$$$? It appears that the US dollar is losing value against the Canadian dollar,

Q: hi
I’m trying to build a simple ETF portfolio with TSX & S&P500 exposure so that’s it’s easy to add during dips.
For the S&P500 i’m thinking XSP.
Not sure what to do about the TSX. Undecided on XIU, XEI or XDIV. I realize the composition of each is different. Energy, Financials, Utilities etc. What would you do?
Thanks

Q: TOI has outpaced the market by a wide margin this year.

I currently have less than a 2% holding accross all of my ports.

1) Why is performing so well, just so i fully understand.

2) Given its rise would you buy more at this point or, given the market, would you put a 'stink' bid in for it and let it sit?

Thanks

Q: To clarify on David's earlier food service question, as I'm looking at these too, and don't hold any currently. You would go with AW first since it's also in the Income Portfolio, before adding to others, Boston Pizza being the best of the rest? Is there any need/reason to hold more than A&W?

Q: I am holding a substantial amount of US funds. With people getting out of US stock market and the downward trend of the American dollar, I would like to know your recommendations. Should I buy Canadian stocks, Canadian Cash ETFs or leave the funds in the US until the tariffs are settled?

Q: Retired investor can wait, not ready to leave risk assets.

My current allocation is 9% International markets, 38% US, 27% Can and 27% Cash and bonds.
Would like to start dipping some Emerging markets. For long term hold, how would you proceed and in what % in can$ ?
I just sent a question regarding ZEM, actually if we need to reduce the US allocation than us$ can be used to buy EM. Please make the necessary correction to the previous question if need be.

Thank again.
Yves
