Q: Currently our health sector portfolio consists of above at 1.5% each. Sector target 10%+/-. Could add to IHI and ZTS. Watch List includes SYK, GH, EXAS, CSLLY, and MPW. Would appreciate your advice on current holdings and filling out sector - either these names or others. Long-term growth goal with focus on medical technology, and diversification within sector.

Q: I would like to deploy cash held in my Canadian $ brokerage account on the basis that the Canadian dollar will decline in value in relation to the US dollar. I am considering the purchase of ZTS BMO Short Term US Treasury Bond Index. My premise is that this ETF should be very stable in the value of its holdings but will directly reflect changes in the CDN/US $ ratio. Is this correct?

Other than paying the high bank exchange spread or deploying a Norbert’s Gambit transaction, is there a better way to institute this idea? Is ZTS a suitable ETF for this purpose?
Thanks
David
