Q: Retired investor can wait, not ready to leave risk assets.

My current allocation is 9% International markets, 38% US, 27% Can and 27% Cash and bonds.
Would like to start dipping some Emerging markets. For long term hold, how would you proceed and in what % in can$ ?
I just sent a question regarding ZEM, actually if we need to reduce the US allocation than us$ can be used to buy EM. Please make the necessary correction to the previous question if need be.

Thank again.

Q: Hi,
I own very small position in CTS. There was a meeting on last Friday to vote on an offer for selling the company at C$5.50. The price at present is C$5.98. I will book 55% loss if I sell at this price of C$5.98. As a fresh eye what is your thought on
1) Sell the shares and invest it in CSU or Lumine to take advantage of this price weakness (I hold GIB and DGS) or
2) Waite until it is taken out by some one if this offer is raised or some one makes counter offer?

I am unable to make quick move to take advantage of this weakness of market.
Thanks
