Q: I need to increase my international exposure. My plan is to accomplish this through ETFs held in a non-registered account.

1) Can you please recommend two ETFs to achieve international exposure.

2) As a member of BMO Investorline I can access commission free ETFs and I am considering vanguard's VI ETF to increase international exposure. What are your thoughts on this ETF and how does it compare versus the ETFs recommended as part 1 of this question?

Thanks!

Q: Retired relying solely on my public pensions. Have held DIR.UN for a long time. Just read your latest report. ACB is $3.27 after the ROCs. I hold 2700 units in TFSA which I am orienting towards a growth portfolio instead of income. Would you agree this equity is a candidate to move to my balanced cash account before year end to give it a higher ACB, continue to hold and maybe even add to it?

Q: I hold a position in this company and am down in excess of 50%. Would you recommend moving on here before tax loss selling takes hold? Or do you think the share price has already been impacted by tax loss selling. Do you see a near term catalyst which could support a share price rally? There as not been a query on this company in several months; please go over most recent quarterly and annual results. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i

You have suggested NXE ($8.20) as a good way to play uranium demand. With actual production still 3+ years away, do they have enough cash to get there or will they need to issue more shares or debt? And your thoughts on the potential of a takeover, what are the odds and who would do it?

Thanks, Greg
