Q: Hi Peter, I have held CWB for many years, and while I appreciate its stability, I need my money to work harder than the return I have seen for the past few years. Would you endorse a switch of some these funds to EQI? I already have some EQI. CWB=6%, EQI=2.5% currently.
Thanks in advance.

I bought some HCG at around 53 while the hedge fund managers were shorting this stock
It has recovered nicely and today, it went up again nicely
