Q: I was wondering what your opinion is on using short term real return bond etfs as an inflation hedge? I was considering purchasing VTIPX on the US markets since there are no short term real return bonds in Canada.

Q: Re: XCS; a small cap index ETF, the performance has been less than stellar if one compared it to Mawer small cap fund (closed to new investors); is there another small cap index other than
IWO (US) that you could recommend to look at ?

Hi, I am holding Rogers Sugar and it seems to be on a constant downward trend this past while. Do you have any idea why and should I hang on to it? Thanks, I really appreciate your advice!

Q: My oil stocks amount to 9% of the total portfolio. Holdings are SU and CPG with 3% ea and IAE, LEG and TOU at 1 % each. Would it make sense to sell IAE and LEG and add those funds to TOU. All three of those stocks project a substantial potential increase in future cash flow. Or would it be better to sell the SU and put those funds into TOU.

Many thanks. Great service! Bob

Q: Hi 5i I noticed your recommendation to one reader to look at the ETF XCB. XCB has dropped a bit in the past few months, what do you think would be the driver to increase the price. Also is the dividend a true dividend or is it interest, and why does the dividend fluctuate from month to month. Thx Gerry

Q: Hi Gang. I have about a 20% position in Financials and am looking to either (1) average up on Home Capital Group from a 3.3% position to a 4%+ position or (2) I may start a 2.5% position in Equitable Group (EQB) because of its growth prospects and ultra low p/e.

Other possibilites instead of adding to my financial weighting is VRX or CSU because I am underweight the Pharmas and Tech. Your thoughts would be appreciated regarding my weighting in the Financials and HCG vs EQB at current valuations.

Thanks, as always.

Q: Hi,

Have you heard about a company LXV. This company is launching a social website Mobio on Dec 1. The company is already up a lot in the last few days and the volume has picked up by 20 times. Is it worth the risk?
