Q: Wondering your opinion on recent news about MPH -- FDA seems to want more information on their drug application. From what I can gather this seems to be a bump in the road from which MPH can recover. Do you think this development is enough to change fundamentals? Would this trigger a sell for you on a longer term hold?

Q: Hello Peter
I am currently down about 30% on MG which is 5% of my portfolio.
I hold 60% of MG in unregistered account & 40% of MG in my TFSA acct.
My concern is would it be wise to sell it now and buy instead NFI or SIS and if so which one would you prefer first NFI or SIS, which one has more "growth" left.

Thanks for great service!

Andrew

Q: •Foreign property held within registered plans like RRSPs, LIFs, RRIFs, LIRAs, TFSAs, RESPs and RDSPs. As to my understanding if I have over $100000 in u.s. stocks held in one of the accounts above I do not have to report it on cra form 1135..hopefully that gives this question more clarity ...thanks

Q: I own HEWJ and ZDM as my International exposure (5% of my portolio). Neither are doing well, especially after the Brexit vote and I'd like to replace them with ETFs with a more positive outlook for the next 2-3 years. Your thoughts and recommendations please!

Q: Good morning,

I own GWO and IFC for an aggregate position of about 3.5% in my portfolio. What do you recommend as a guideline allocation for "insurance" in one's portfolio?
If I'm low at 3.5%, would you recommend I add to my existing holdings or initiate a position in Sun Life?

Thank you,
Robert
