Q: I own both of these companies, through BMO INvestorLine. Keep getting messages to act upon something. I am of the opinion that failure to make an election will result in a cash payment under the arrangement to be paid in Canadian Funds (which I want). Timing 1 to 3 weeks for payment. Does this seem to be correct or do I really have to Make an election?

Q: Hi guys,
Just wanted to know your thoughts about EMH and active investing. We all know that fees are a huge drag on performance; but interestingly, an old Globe article by George Athanassakos argues institutional factors like hugging the index are the main factor for underperformance.
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-investor/investor-education/real-active-management-is-worth-the-price/article26874608/
Would there be an advantage in returns (not including fees or commissions) with following a disciplined 100k model portfolio versus investing 100k in a traditional 300mil fund with the same holdings? I suppose inflows and outflows would be a major factor as well.
Thanks for your opinion.
