Q: Hi All: It is time I added some insurance to my portfolio. I am interested in adding to my gold holdings, I hold Goldcorp now and I would like to add a gold ETF. In the past I have held CGL. I would prefer a bullion stock. What do you think of this idea? Please suggest a couple of ETFs or stocks that would be your top choice. Thank you again for your help. You are the best ever!!

Q: Hello,
Instead of holding ishares russell from the growth portfolio would switching it out for vce make sense? Or will there be too much correlation? The reason why i'm asking is that I already own a us etf VTI(which is my largest allocation) and don't want to add more to my US allocation.
Thanks.

Q: If I understand correctly, the Chinese government lifted some restrictions, and due to it, a lot of money from China has been moving into the Hong Kong market. This might explain why the chinese market has gone up 40% in 1 year. TD Waterhouse tells me that the PE ratio on ZCH is 11.5. That's 60% cheaper than the TSX. (a) Do you think this move by the government will be transformational for that market is could bring their valuations close to the north-american markets? (b) with canadian dollars, would you buy XCH? CHI.A seems to be the only other option but it's 8x smaller in size.
Q: I am considering moving some money from an S&P 500 based ETF to a TSX 60 based ETF here now that the resource stocks decline has affected the TSX and made it better value here than the S&P 500. Am I thinking straight or does the momentum of the S&P 500 mean that I should keep my money in it? Diversification is not an issue for me, I am well diversified no matter what I do with this money, I am thinking in terms of timing here. Thanks.

Q: The oil and gas sector in Canada has been on the decline for a while. What are your thoughts on the prospects of this oil index and the oil/gas sector overall recovering in the summer, when the demand for this resource is expected to rise.
I bought HOU.TO at around $7.3 and am not sure when I should short it and if it is worth it to wait it out till the summer time.
