Q: Thanks for a recent suggestion for U.S. exposure in an open CAD account - HXS.

In my RRSP I was going to add BRK.B and was surprised by its low PE ratio of about 9. Is this correct? Maybe there is a better metric to use to evaluate this equity(?)

AVNV seems to be the perfect non-U.S. compliment in my RRSP (except for that bit of exposure it has to Canada…which is fine). I like the fact that it is an international Value ETF - a mixture of large, small and Emerging Market. I doubt there a better comparable option, but figured I’d ask if you are aware of one.

Q: Hi Team,
I had to trim some Nvda today to manage weighting size in my portfolio. What are some of your best idea “forever holds” today that are standing out as strong buys at current levels ? Either cnd or US. Or is it recommended to hold some cash for a while if it looks like the market is due for a pullback??

Thanks,
Shane

Q: Good morning 5i
I am using Berkshire as a kind of etf for the US market. The problem i have is that it is classified as in the Financial sector. It looks more like a conglomerate of businesses, though. And that is how it is listed on your asset allocation model. But, i feel that it skews my asset allocation in classifying it thus. First if all, should I try to change its asset allocation classification from just financial? And secondly, is there any easy way to do that on your portfolio tracking tool?
Thanks for the great service

Q: Hi,
I'm just reading about Gates joining Buffett in selling what seems to me to be a large amount of the above noted stocks, and I'm wondering if you've any thoughts on it. Is this typical for these two powerhouse guys to do this every once in a while, or might this time be different? Given the political situation in the US and other, global issues, I have to wonder if they are in a better position than most to have insight on something. I realize this is a speculative question, but would still value your opinion - many thanks!
Dawn
