Q: Any thoughts on how the pound will fare in the next 6 months? My thoughts are that the Great Britain needs the EU more than the EU needs Great Britain. My guess the EU will play a little "hardball" with Britain so the value of the pound will decline. Of course a declining pound should help British exports...just like a weak currency helps Canadian exports. I'm not intending to short the pound. Just curious. (A pound currency at one point was backed by a pound of silver. Now the pound currency is worth about a tenth of one ounce of silver. I believe we call that inflation!)
Regards,
Jim

Q: As electric cars gain traction do you see this having a benefit for utility stocks over the next 3 to 5 years? I'm thinking people will charge up their cars overnight increasing the demand load for the utilities. Possibly the utilities will need to upgrade their infrastructure so there might be up-grade costs. Possibly 3 to 5 years is too short a time for electric cars to have much of a presence. Utilities are regulated (I think) so all rate increases I suppose would need to be approved by regulatory government agencies which may baulk at any rate increases. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: Any thoughts on VanEck Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF? How large is the fund, is it well diversified and is it's MER reasonable? We already own AEM (2% weighting), KL (2% weighting) and KRR (1% weighting). If we bought GDXJ we would buy an additional 2% weighting. Gold seems to be running now. Not sure if that is a good or bad sign.
Thanks in advance.
