Q: The bond portion of my portfolio is equally weighted between CLF and ZAG. With CLF having a government bond and shorter term focus and ZAG having a corporate bond component and longer average bond life, would it be sensible for someone with a medium risk profile to sell CLF and consolidate the bond portfolio in ZAG to take advantage of the higher interest return?

Q: Hey guys,

We already own DXG, would you recommend any others instead of DXG for international exposure? Also, a full position on individual stocks is between 4 to 5% (hopefully letting them grow to 7 to 8%, ), what about etfs?
Thanks
