Q: Hello Peter & Co,
I'm 72 years old and view the TFSA as a regular savings account. About half is invested in short-term notes that are cashable at the snap of the fingers; as for the other half, I'm seeking to invest in slow and steady companies (some growth/some yield) in a business with some kind of a "moat" around it. Could you give me a few names that fit the bill? Would KBRO Linen & Morneau Sheppell fit into that category?
Thanks
Antoine

Q: I considered buying CRH Medical at 1.70 when Doneville recommended it on BNN in December, but it was already up from 70 cents two months prior, so I was wary. Now it is at 4 dollars and I am kicking myself. Should I still buy it, or is it too late to get in? Maybe this should just be one I missed out on? FYI, I own Concordia, Gilead, PHM and GUD already in this sector.

Thanks.

Q: I have reviewed some answers to questions that deal with the issue of hedging US exposure but am not certain as to your position on this matter. I realize the difficulty of trying to forecast currency movements but at present, with the Canadian dollar already off more than 20% within the last year, does it make sense to still favor the unhedged US ETF'S? Today seems to offer a prime example of the potential pitfalls of non hedged funds - while 1 day does not define a trend, we have a rising US market with the hedged US ETF'S also rising and the unhedged ones falling due to strength in the Canadian dollar - so what would be the best strategy going forward, over a 3-5 year term, for a non registered trading account in Canadian funds - hedged or unhedged US ETF'S?

Q: Which would you choose between these 2? I know that ATB is much, much larger and successful but is it getting too pricey? Would PKI be a good substitute? I really like this kind of company as I think they present reasonably stable but growable parts of the economy. Do you share my thinking that now is the time to get in on the ground floor of PKI or would yo go with ATB?

Thanks.
