Q: Hi,

I heard somewhere about an EFT that reflected the S&P 500 Internet technology Index, but I can't seem to find it. Do you know of an EFT like this? Maybe it would be similar to the Nasdaq 100? Not sure...

Thanks,

John

Q: Peter and Team:
I have done very well on SHOP (500%) and it now consists of almost 10% of my portfolio. I do not want to sell a winner, but was wondering if I should trim bit, put a stop loss order on it or ride the wave?
What are your concerns with "stops" in general.

Thanks
Phil

Q: What are your thoughts regarding Medison's open letter today to GUD shareholders? their campaign seams to have gathered quite a bit of momentum if we believe all that is written. Is this necessarily a bad thing? I have been here from the start and i'm not sure what to do. Not much reaction in the stock today. Your comments would be much appreciated as always.
thanks,
John

Q: Hello 5i
I have to increase the international component of my portfolio, according to the Analytics program. By a lot. I therefore have a couple of questions, as the analytics program gives only Canadian hedged products and I will be buying in US dollars.

First, VWO is currently 2.5 per cent of our portfolio. You often suggest that an etf should compose at least 5%. I have been hesitent with emerging markets. But, do you think that this would be a reasonable increase?

Second. Again in US dollars, I would like something to compliment this. I am thinking that it would be good to have one fund. An all the world except North America fund. In the analytics you suggest VDU. But, as I say, I am buying in US dollars. So, I am looking first of all for an etf suggestion. And secondly, whether this one stop shopping is the best approach. I have to raise about 27% in international, according to your program. I am pretty close to the US allocation, though, so don't need any US.
thanks
