Q: Hi Peter and team: Are you in a position to comment on the iShares MSCI South Africa ETF that was mentioned in David Berman's glam article yesterday? I checked out its performance and looked at the main constituent companies and it looks OK to me (though I couldn't tell if "blood diamonds" were involved anywhere). Berman suggested it as a way of investing in Africa -though it is represented in other countries also. Thanks for any information you can provide.

Q: Currently own UXM for exposure to US plus a nice 3.5% dividend. Currently hold in a non-reg acct and in January I will be selling and switching it in to an RSP for tax reasons. If I rebuy UXM in the RSP do I have to adhere to the 30 day waiting period? Is there a similar or better CDN $ ETF you can recommend that will give me exposure to the US with a similar yield.
