Q: Hi,

For a long term position ~ 10% of total portfolio, with broad international equity exposure outside North America, currency not really a factor, was considering XIN vs VXUS vs XEF.
1) preference of three or worth it to purchase more than one?
2) other suggestions?
3) any concerns with 10% of portfolio in any of these single ETFs?

Q: Hi, could I please have your current opinion on LULU. They had a good quarter and technically the stock will breakthrough to new highs with a few more % gain. But as you said in the past results have been inconsistent. Do you see guidance and consistency possibly improving, or just a good quarter followed by uncertainty for the next one?

Q: Hello,
I've held shares in SLF for a couple of years now and even taking into account the dividends, I am slightly underwater.
From all indications, the latest quarter was good. If I listen to the pundits, the environment for the company, and insurance companies in general, is positive with interest rates increasing but yet the shares don't seam to go anywhere.

In your expert opinion, what would explain the lack of positive momentum for SLF? Is there something fundamentally wrong with the company? Is their large mutual fund business segment worrying investors because of competition from ETF's?

I am more than willing to give this company more time and am very interested in your thoughts.

I thank you in advance for your reply.

Q: Do you have estiamtes for GC's earnings tomorrow? I seem to remember that last quarter only had a few weeks of the new Ontario bundle included in them... am I correct on that? I have been wanting to add a position on the pullback, and earnings kind of crept up on me. Would it be a good buy heading into earnings, or would you wait until later in the week?

Thanks for your help!

Please compare Boston Pizza with A&W and the Keg as to which would be a better choice.
Are there other restaurant royalty companies I should be looking at?
Thanks for the excellent service.
