Q: Hello Peter and the 5I team

I have watched CHD for years and I owned it sometime ago but sold it. I can't remember what I was thinking when I sold it, because I consider this stock a juggernaut. The stock crash of 2008-09 didn't really seem to effect it much. Since then it has done very well. What are your thoughts on this stock? Would you own it at this level? Where do you think this stock is going? I appreciate your thoughts on it.

Thanks

Q: Hi, I'm looking to add either VDU and VUN or VTI:US and VXUS:US to my wife's position. She's diversified in Canada but looking for US and foreign exposure for the long haul. The difference between these two sets is one is Cdn and one is US - so essentially this is a currency hedge question. Do you have a preference for which set? Thank you.

Q: Hi
What do you think of Wellpoint for a buy right now. The only US stock I have right now is Emerson (EMR). Would a US healthcare ETF be better way to go? If so what would it be? Thanks

Q: Hi,
I have a very large amount of money in my RRSP, thank you PIR., instead of trying to buy individual companies, or ETF,s in the U.S.and global markets, which could prove difficult to manage on top of my Can. holdings, would just buying BRK.B more or less achieve the same goal, save me money on MER,s, research, and not have to learn new juggling skills!

Many thanks

Q: If you hold the view that in general, world economies are slowly improving, would now be the time to buy into the consumer/discretionary spending area, which I assume have been beat up in the last few years. Are there ETFs that cover this specific space? Would an ETF be the best way to go?

Thanks.
