Q: Hi,
I have these 4 in my RRSP and have about $26,000 in cash to invest there. What would you suggest for this money and would you suggest changing of any my current holdings. Looking at a 5 year hold. Thank you.

Q: Peter, I am going to provide my daughters (18 & 19) with $5,000 to start their TFSA's. The amount is not large enough to have a portfolio and I have read your answers on this type of question. However, I am thinking of a EFT for the S&P 500 rather than the Canadian index which is too focused on Financials and Energy. As their expenses will be in Canadian $, I would like your recommendations for a hedged EFT. Should I add a small position in SHOP, etc?

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
Is HXU designed to always give you plus or minus 200% of what XIU returns whether? I compared previous prices, and it seems to go that way. Given the structure of the ETF, can this change or I can assume it will be plus or minus 200 of the corresponding index? I am also looking at HGU the bull gold case versus XGD and similarly DIA versus DDM. I was looking at a trade idea if the market falls, simply buy the bull ETF so that when market picks up, i can get a higher return. Can you advise how they companies can do double the return (what financial instruments do they use). Thank you.
