Q: Hi,

What is your opinion on stock picking vs ETF investing. How many ETF's should one hold in a portfolio of say $100k. What would your ETF recommendations be for such a portfolio as there are so many of them out there and it is difficult to choose one from the other.

Q: Hello Peter and Team

First off keep up the excellent work!

My question revolves around a RESP. We max out contributions each year and currently we have $2500 invested, another 2500 in cash with approx $1000.00 coming in from the Fed. Gvt.(grant program) The 2500 is in ZCN. We would like to look at an emerging market and or bio tech etf as a second holding what would you suggest and why? Additionally if there is another etf in another sector that you believe would be a good buy currently or in the next few months please let us know.

Once again much appreciated and have a great week!

Q: I am 74 yrs old so I like to pick stocks etc with a decent yield but also short term growth prospects, i.e. 5 years. I have been following your replies in regard to financial sector/banks and wonder what would be better; a higher yielding financial company/bank or an ETF specialising in these. One I have considered is zwb. What do you think? Thanks in advance.
