Q: Sometime ago I purchased ZUH-T to gain exposure to Health Care...and it is a hedge EFT. I would like to replace this position with an unhedged ETF or a Cdn/US dollar position. Other positions added since then in this sector are IBB (1.5 position weight), GILD and SKY (both 1 position weight), and GUD, PHM and PLI (0.5 position weights). Looking forward to your suggestions....Tom

Q: I sold IPL out of a registered account a while ago. The current price is still below my sale price and I am thinking of getting back into the "small" pipeline space. Which would you recommend out of IPL, KEY and PPL (or any other). I already own ENB in a non-registered account.

Q: If I wanted to crystallize a capital gain on a gold or silver coin(s), could I just say I sold them at the closing price on a specific day and say I bought them back at the same price on the same day. Report the capital gain on my income tax. This would be instead of paying the exorbitant fees to sell the coins and buy them back from a dealer. If this would not fly, could I sell them to a friend at the closing price and buy them back from him at the same price on the same day an declare the capital gain? Thanks.

Q: Thanks for response about REITS. Now knowing BYD.un is Income Trust rather than REIT, so it makes up 2 position weights in RRSP but in consumer discretionary, I thought of sell 50% of BYN.un and purchasing GIL. My thinking is that both are within same sector and would provide more diversification, and as BYD.un is topping and GIL is more less off it's peak, the timing for this change would be overall good. What do you say? And/or is there another alternative to GIL? that would be good going forward......Thanks, again....Tom
