Q: My Granddaughter is <1 and currently has $3000 in her RESP. I see that in a past question you recommended VGG for an RESP for 6-8 year old children. Would you stick with that given the longer time frame or would you have a different suggestion? Should we conceder more than one product?
Thanks, John

Q: Considering the tone if the release this morning on Knight's Directors, I would take a wild guess it was commissioned by Jakobsohn.
Goodman put his pharmascience shares in a blind trust. This NR is no big deal...

Q: What is your opinion on this one? I have been in it for awhile in an RRSp account with a long term horizon. Do you think this company could turn the corner or even get bought by a bigger firm like LNR or MG?

Thanks

Q: I've read that total market ETF's such as ITOT include a component of unprofitable small caps that can cause a drag on performance. It was recommended instead to go with an S&P 500 ETF suchs as VOO, and supplement this with a mid/small cap ETF that follows an index that screens out low profitability, such as IJS or IUSV. What's your opinion of this strategy?

Q: I have both APHA and OGI. Given the recent drop of APHA and OGI and the short term concensus for APHA, do you think there would be any benefit to selling off APHA and replace it with more OGI since it seems the belief now is that the entire sector got hit because of APHA results?? Would OGI be in a better position to make up the loss than APHA would be??
