Q: Hi Guys, I currently hold all the Balanced Equity Portfolio stocks in my TFSA with approximately the same weightings, which represents my ~20% Canadian equity exposure. How would you recommend investing the addition $5,500 in January? (Would bolster up a couple of holdings be reasonable, if so which ones, or hold it in cash until there is other activity in the portfolio?)

Thank you for such a great performing portfolio!

Q: Hi Peter and gang,
A few days ago, in a response to a question regarding MDA,
5iResearch indicated that the P/E ratio for MDA was 11X. But according to TD Waterhouse's site, MDA's P/E ratio as of yesterday was 21.5X based on an EPS of $3.07. Just wondering why there was such a big different between the two P/Es given that MDA's price did not move significantly either way over the last week or so. Thanks.

Q: Hi, I have roughly about 120k in a resp for my two children who are 14 and 12. I went to cash before election unfortunately in hindsight as it was 75% index funds and 25 percent bond funds. Going forward, as there are 4 years remaining before university I want to remain somewhat defensive but still have growth as I believe the markets will continue higher over the next couple years as The big Fed day is over, and markets remain resilient. I was thinking about zwb,Zwu for defence and income...7% yield, at 30 k each. Zsp for us market and currency exposure at 30k. mg and gud at 15 k each for some growth. Am I being to aggressive at 5 years away from university? Do you recommend any changes to this approach? Thanks for your opinion and advice and Merry Christmas!

Q: Questions and answers often refer to "positions" half or full. Can you define that please.
Also what ETF's would you recommend for muscular gains. I see some resource units have year performances of over 60%
