Q: Hi,
My son is taking a break from active stock picking and has gone with this ETF model: VUS(15%), VBU(5%), VCN(22.5%), VAB(5%), VI(22.5%). His investing horizon is very long (10-20 years). Your thoughts on the individual ETFs? How about sector & geographic diversity? Any other concerns?
Thanks!

Q: XT-N
iShares Exponential Technologies
I am looking for an ETF that follows emerging new technologies. One that seems to fit the bill is iShares Exponential Technologies (XT-N). What do you think of it? Is there another you would like better? Are there any traded in Canada?

Q: I am looking to add some diversity to my rrsp holdings and value your opinion. I would like to add a position in xmm,emerging markets,low volatility and one of xmw or xmy,which is $Canadian hedged. What would be the reason for the discrepancy in nav between xmw and xmy(hedged)? I realize that the latter are newer etf,but which might be the better choice for a 2 to 4 year hold? Also,Vanguard just initiated vvo,another global etf. Have you had a chance to view and could you give your opinion? Thank you for your great service.
Q: I realize that Oi (the Brasilian telecom) is far outside your area of specialisation, but wonder if you can explain how a company that has commenced bankruptcy proceedings can show an aggressively-rising stock price. Is it even conceivable that, post-proceedings, shareholders could come out ahead? If so, in what sense could this be true of bankruptcies in general?
Q: I am looking for a Canadian listed etf,active or passive, that gives exposure to s.e. asia,targeting Philippenes(sp??)vietnam,Indonesia,etc. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you.

Q: Should I continue holding Harmony Gold Mining or take my profit and run? I know that it has more risk the AEG or GLD, but it has a good trend right now.
Should I let it run, or take some profits? You have said before that Gold is insurance, and now that insurance is paying off. When is the right time to cash in, and should profits be put back into gold?
HMY is currently 4.5% of my overall portfolio, and that and Alacer (1%) are my only two gold holdings.
