Q: You have mentioned MDA,G,CCL.B as Canadian stocks benefitting from U.S. growth. With the BoC rate cut, could you identify any other stocks in your two Model Portfolios that you think will have additional benefit. Are there any that you would now have concerns with given the rate change ?
I don't hold any non-Canadian stocks - do you feel it is sufficient to benefit from U.S. growth this way or would you still recommend buying U.S. stocks direct ? If so, what U.S. etf's would you now recommend, as I have a (more than) full complement of individual Canadian equities. Many thanks and congrats on such great results for 2014.
