Q: I hold HEDJ in a non-registered account. At date of purchase some ten years ago, I thought protecting against weakness in the Euro would be prudent. Would you agree that there is no need at present to hedge as above? It would not be tax efficient for me to sell HEDJ and buy an unhedged version so I would rather add to exposure to Europe.
Question: What ETF of stocks of companies based in developed Europe ex-UK do you favor? Is an unhedged version of HEDJ, in US$ (not C$) available? What other r ETFs , in US$ and not hedged, look attractive to you? I prefer ETFs holding less than, say, 70 large caps, incl'g some multi-nationals, all based out of Europe.

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan, I'm a 63 year old conservative investor and I've held CNQ from 2010 where I bought it at $34.00 where it's been a roller coaster since then and as you know it dropped to about $12,00 in March. I've held it for the dividend and since it's back to where I first bought it in my unregistered account I was thinking of selling it and transferring it to my TFSA and not taking any loss. How much upside do you see it having from here and do you think it's still worth holding or would you invest the money elsewhere, if so what is a good replacement for it. Thanks as always for your insight and the great service we get from you guys. Nick
