Q: I am needing to add to my Consumer Discretionary allocation. I have 2 equities at the moment and would prefer not to top up but rather add another. I currently own DHX & PBH. Perhaps provide two options if you could! One for growth and another for a balanced approach.

Q: Do Vanguard ETF's actually own the shares in their ETF's or is it some derivative that they use? If they don't own the shares, what risk does this present? I seem to recall that there was a difference between Blackrock and Vanguard in this regard. Is that true?

Q: The company's current year started April 1, 2016. I anticipate Ovivo may make as much as 18 cents a share for the current year. On the basis of those numbers and your opinion of the balance sheet etc what value do you think the company currently deserves? The 4th q comes out June 1st and the company is expected to make about 10 cents a share profit so the outlook for fiscal 2017 is for material growth in profit. If energy prices continue to move up then even better results may be possible for late 2017 or fiscal 2018. Thanks.
