Q: Following up on Maureen's question about regional allocation - if you looked at Canada 40% US 35% Europe 15% and Emerging Markets 10% could you give me some suggestions as to which ETF's you might suggest I look at to achieve such a distribution.
Thanks,Terry

Q: Hello 5i
I am invested in Bruce Campbell managed Canadian equity growth fund with the purpose of offloading some of the small cap investing decisions.
Do you have another suggestion for similar fund style ( small aggressive) that may contain less POT stocks? Seems this fund has tilted toward Healthcare (50%) ie pot.
Thanks
Dave

Your thoughts on each one is appreciated Any other candidates?
Thanks

Q: Regarding the recent news on "internet gambling" in the USA. My understanding is this is in relation to online games of chance essentially, not sports gambling and not poker. Is this correct? I thought the most hype/hope in the USA for TSGI is legalized sports betting gaining large traction among most States. If this is the case then I would think this is not a big deal?

Q: Good morning 5i Team

I'm getting myself up to speed on light oil versus heavy oil. WCS, which is a blend of bitumen and other Alberta oils is heavy oil. Canadian refineries for the most part can't process heavy oils (only about 100,000 barrels a day) so most is shipped to the US where refineries are optimized for the stuff. The general consensus is that more pipelines to US (not to tidewater) will allow more WCS to be shipped and will therefore aborb the additional supply that has come on stream recently.

My question is: With the US refineries already running at capacity, how can they absorb significantly more WCS?
