Q: I'm wondering what you think of putting a small position of the international part of my portfolio in an ETF that tracks India. I know that Ishares has one and it seems that it has been outperforming other emerging markets. If you like the idea, what percentage would you suggest investing? Thank you for all you do!

Q: Both Tricon and Element Financial (EFN) are rated highly and the US 4TH quarter GDP was revised upward today but both stocks are hovering close to their 52 week lows. First, is a rising Canadian dollar a major headwind for these companies and second, are they over-rated by the seemingly glowing reviews they are assessed by the pros?
Which one would you prefer over a five year period?
Thank you.
