Q: Hi, I have minimal healthcare exposure and am looking to increase my holdings in this sector for diversification. Wondering what your top picks would be in the healthcare space within Canada for the long term? I am interested in either an ETF (XHC,ZUH,FHH) or specific Canadian healthcare stocks).
Q: I would like add some good to my portfolio, what would you suggest, a golkd company or bolluion or etc? We had a bad experience with gold companies during the drop in 2013 so am a bit shy of producers. I have some USD so would also like some stocks that treads on NYSE.
Thank you
Thank you
Q: I would like to invest in consumer staples, with good dividends. Is there an ETF with currency hedging which you would recommend?
Q: Hi- I know that when a new closed end fund is started up that the first buyers end up paying for the administrative costs of the fund. Is the same thing true of a new ETF? Horizons has put out an Insider etf which I find interesting, but I want to buy it when it reflects the actual fund's value.
Thanks
Thanks

Q: You have mentioned MDA,G,CCL.B as Canadian stocks benefitting from U.S. growth. With the BoC rate cut, could you identify any other stocks in your two Model Portfolios that you think will have additional benefit. Are there any that you would now have concerns with given the rate change ?
I don't hold any non-Canadian stocks - do you feel it is sufficient to benefit from U.S. growth this way or would you still recommend buying U.S. stocks direct ? If so, what U.S. etf's would you now recommend, as I have a (more than) full complement of individual Canadian equities. Many thanks and congrats on such great results for 2014.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,
I am trying to add fixed income to my retiree portfolio. Have never been a fan of fixed income since being badly burned in 1994. (long memory) I am thinking CBO 15% in RRIF's,
CVD 5% in RRIF's
CPD 5% in taxable accounts.
Your suggestions are greatly appreciated. I am reluctant to assume a higher allocation.

Q: Hello Peter and team;
There has been quite a bit of press lately on energy company high yield bonds, the spike in rates due to their falling prices and potential defaults all as a result of the oil price collapse. There is also reference to previous collapses in the junk bond market as a prelude to a significant pulling down of the broader market with it.
What is your view on this and do you see similarities to the current bond conditions and the collapse of 2008.
Thanks
Jerry
